sounds good mate, out of interest have you got any examples of any genuine info regarding the takeover?

Just a couple of people that I trust on here that I believe are telling us everything then can without revealing where they are getting it from.
I think the most we can take from here in my opinion is that the takeover is in the latter stages but it could go either way because that unfortunately is the way football works.
I personally would only take 4 people's opinion on here as itk just from things they have come up with in the past that have been similar to things I have heard.
The only problem when you start posting things that are looking like they are going to happen and it doesn't happen you are called a liar and that you know fuck all.
If you need an example just look at the will grigg transfer, just how it ended up, it was on and off more times than the mags takeover.

what im getting at mate is there has been nothing on this thread that has resulted in anything changing since the thread started, people seem to be convinced something is happening without any proof or genuine info that anything is happening - hopefully im proved wrong and the rich Americans buy us but there is zero evidence on this whole thread of that happening

That's because of the NDA and EA which Barnes said was in place. Any other info is subjective. Only SD and the Buyer can furnish us with evidence. But we all know this.

I understand mate, I'm just going on one person who's info I trust, I get that the proof hasn't been put on but other than this person stating exactly what he knows and who's told him which unfortunately he can't.
Then what also happens is you end up with over 700 pages of people talking shit calling each other names.
So I think all we can do is cross our fingers a lets hope it comes off

People have totally unrealistic expectations as to how business sales are conducted, the processes involved, and, most importantly, the length of time they take. Eight weeks from approach to completion would normally be considered to be extremely fast. At least three months would be more typical. Also, while desired dates for stages in the process may be suggested, the actual dates are totally flexible. If people observe NDA's, most of the process will be completely invisible to the outside world. Of course, very few businesses are 100% leak free, and grapevines will add details that may in the right ballpark or utter bollocks. In general, the less you hear, the more likely it is to happen.
