Yep. There’s not one of them who gets everything right. The ones who post vague updates and like the attention do my head in a bit but I can just ignore that. They should really be willing to have a thick skin to a bit of pisstaking since they court the limelight more than a little, but equally other posters should know when to stop before getting out of hand too.

The better game is looking for the ones who rarely post but have a much better hit rate - of which there are one or two on here for sure. Definitely expect the ownership rumours to quieten down once the pair of bellends go, though. That will be a real blessing.

Prehab confirmed was just one bidder when pissed a few nights back.

Still no sign of the blue chip backers though.

Thanks. It'd be good if there's more than one solid bid. They'll have to negotiate with KLD once they're through the EFL stuff, that can't be far away now.
  1. Bid(s) accepted by Donald and Methven ✅️
  2. Bids vetted by EFL❓️
  3. If more than one, Discussions between bidders and KLD to find best fit with his current plan.
  4. Preferred bidder selected by KLD (SD and CM will actually confirm the preferred bid and doubtless announce 'their' progress to the Athletic) and other bids put to one side.
  5. Due diligence and legal paperwork between bidder and KLD to join the current Shareholder agreement (approx. 3-4 weeks I think for a deal like this as a minority shareholder, with existing agreements they have to re-write rather than create from scratch)
  6. Completion.
That's what to look for over the next few weeks, and it's simplified if there's only one bid as they basically are the preferred bidder and jump straight to how they will fit into the current agreement, or change it to suit them if KLD likes the idea of their involvement.

My gut instinct is something will happen, but if not, KLD won't buy their shares. It's either sell up or pay your way, as that suits him better than paying 80% of our funding in future.

Nah, I think the opposite.

I think there's no chance they'll be involved but if they think we're worth using to get some high profile press attention surely it means we're on the way back?

I hope your right ... but at this time ( for whatever reason ) they've chosen to go public... why ? If this is some scam or whatever it'll be quickly exposed .. so why risk the inevitable?

The big problem is finding this season ...all rhe evidence suggests that Donald doesn't want to put another penny into the club

Probably got wind that there's something happening and have jumped in before it's announced for the press coverage. No good saying they were in when there's a risk the real bidders could be revealed at any time.

The normal everyday fan doesn't spend his days obsessing over an internet chat forum and taking it seriously.

There were 50,000 of us at Wembley and, over the entire weekend, I didn't hear one mention of chat boards or what's posted. There's a few hundred actual posters, maximum, and most right minded people look at what's said and take it all with a hefty pinch of salt.

When it gets to the point where you believe a few people, posting gossip on here, influence the thoughts of thousands of decent normal supporters you should really think about taking a break and giving your head a good shake.

😂😂😂😂

If anyone but you posted this I’d say they had a point. However the irony of it being you is beyond anything I’ve seen wow!!

This is the same poster that was self confessed never itk. Then got one snippet and spent the next two months on here with fabrication after fabrication. Absolutely desperate not to lose face on the Internet. I’d say that’s pretty obsessed no?

Or how about when he gets banned, he states he’ll never venture on to rtg again, as it’s full of aholes and the mods can’t control it and are just as bad. Then spends months getting anyone who dares question him on the other board, banned. That not someone obsessed or who takes it too seriously no?

What about if said poster (you) then keeps up a facade of being itk. He also continues the whole slagging off of rtg, and continues to state will never return. Still not obsessed, no?

Then after all the shite, and lies, joins the very board he vowed not to return to, spouts more shite. While still slagging it off on the other board and coming out with such classic statements as “my phones lighting up”.

Me and loads others tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, because good posters on here vouch for you. But I tell you what, you need to take your own advice and stop obsessing over the Internet. You are a walking talking contradiction.

Anybody owning >30% of the shares is classed as a major shareholder are they not?why would the efl waste time and money vetting bids prior to exclusivity and completion of due diligence. Makes more sense to wait until club decides which is acceptable bidder.I personally think we are going to feel very underwhelmed at the end of this!As long as those two clowns are gone for good it will still be a plus in my book.

Has anything happened over the last 4 days? I've spent them knee deep in baby shite, so if someone has a summary...?

1. Madberb was saying one thing on here, then another on 606
2. @Vauxie didn't realise and made a tit of himself (again)
3. Wheatsheaf from 606 has presumably fell asleep in the Wheatsheaf from his celebratory visit a few weeks back
4. Reiver is back as Bear Heed and his phone hasn't lit up anymore

Think that pretty much covers it

It’s exactly what blue chip types want. They don’t want to spunk millions up the wall. By having a sustainable model of bringing through the academy is going to take a fair amount of time to get to the PL and become established but they would stand to make a lot more money out of it. There’s a reason KLD said he’d be around for about 10years.

You dont need backers to chuck their money around all the time....... we need backers with a little bit of cash they can use to support the club when things dont go to plan.............nonmatter what anybody says about our squad last season we would not have got promoted if stewart had got a long term injury and that situation should never happen again!
