We haven't had a game since then like. When were you expecting to have heard from him? He doesn't do much press outside if league game press conferences.
Does this really need a new thread when we have an official takeover thread ?

They are extremely bad for the environment plus we sold them years ago.
It’s all relative though. I can definitely see them spending big money...... for league 1 and then doing so again in the championship (as long as we get there). It’s got to be done in parallel with investing in building the business though and growing the revenue in line with increased expenditure. That is possibly going to be the hardest part of all but with proven highly successful businessmen, it’s going to be an interesting ride!Can’t see them throwing big money around while we’re still in League One. Everyone knows the big money is in the Premier, so probable have to make do with the zip line across the river until we reach the promised land.
Yeah thought they might be able to help me see past my shortcomings.Didn't you buy them and install them in your garden marra?
Well riv is to old to join the foreign legion!Saint Florent by any chance?
I think Ross might be gone Monday or Tuesday and an announcement on Wednesday.. Just a guess like
So, this coming Thursday then?In between that game and the next mate.
Can't see it. The new potential owners are not footy experts - they will be relying on Donald and Methven and I would think they will be happy for Ross to continue.I think Ross might be gone Monday or Tuesday and an announcement on Wednesday.. Just a guess like

I've just been talking to my friend, Fabrizio Tonna, who's now back home in Lugano. He's very well connected in the States, UK, Russia, France, etc but has zero interest in football so lots of stuff bypasses him. But since all this kicked off he's tried to pay attention 'cos he likes me, loves a bit of intrigue and because other wealthy people are involved. It's a shame @Grumpy Old Man wasn't talking to him because a lot of the terminology is double Dutch to me and I know little about the big European clubs tbh.
Anyway, this appears to be the gist of what he's saying. He keeps banging on about PSG who were like Chelsea before Abramovic arrived. It appears Qatar wanted PSG for many other reasons than a love of football. It's actually to do with religious uncertainty, oil running out, etc. So they want other income, bolt holes and favourable influence in Europe.
He reckons our new overlords are keeping an eye on Brexit, our increased dependency on the States, the increased interest in football there and the effect Netflix has had. He doesn't know what involvement Dell has in broadcasting but says he wouldn't be surprised in they don't creep into TV rights for games over there.
H appoint a club ambassador to pull everything together but that last bit is a guess from him, he's a smart fella so he might be right.
And that's it. If I wanted to make it all look more coherent and embellish it I could do but that's just a few snippets, I managed to glean, from an hour long conversation with someone who''s quite excitable, rambling and speaks in a heavy Italian accent. So, that's absolutely everything I can say .... please either take it or leave it but don't harangue me for meanings or details, that's really all I have.
a competent manager will get us upJoking aside, I can see them ploughing money into the city/redevelopment from day one.
I don't think you can justify spending a Championship/PL budget in League One though.
Alreet?
