Amazing that there are rumours of shares exchanging hands and takeovers just when transfer money is needed……..Then you get the “talks are advanced but a long way to go….”, shortly followed by delayed transfers and then a collapse of the takeover on or around the close of the transfer window.

Sorry to sound cynical…….but we have form for the Mike Ashley art of disrupting the “window”, raising then lowering expectations.

Yep. If nothing happens but it’s talked about all summer it provides a cloak of ambiguity to cover potential lack of investment and will suck excitement out of the upcoming campaign.

If this is being done, it needs to be done swiftly for the sake of the club. We can’t afford to lose momentum

It's people on forums doing that tbh.

The club haven't said anything different.

It spills out from forums into the wider fanbase and into the press. That suits any owners who are reluctant to invest.

In other news, that Wheatsheaf poster on the not606 forum seems to be celebrating. They obviously get fed info from a good source but I’m still skeptical and reluctant to get excited.

Seriously mate, is that even worth the effort?

Supporters will be pissed off if there's no investment no matter what. It's really not worth engineering all this for no good reason.

It’s certainly worth the effort for people who don’t want to invest sums into the club. It’s not much effort for them to do it.

I hope that isn’t happening and I hope this is, to quote what is an increasingly ambiguous word, ‘done’.
 
I just hope the club gets on a stable footing with ownership in the not too distant future. How can we seriously plan for the longer term if shareholders always have an eye on what they can get back?
