Yes. Quite bizarre and not posted since due to that. Can’t be bothered with the stress. Read your posts or mine. Totally out of order whereas I’ve actually liked your posts and told you so You basically said stop posting if nothing to contribute etc.

That doesn't sound right mate and I'll take a look now.

It could be I was joking and came out wrong or mistook you for someone else.

Whatever the case I genuinely apologise. Hoy my post up if you have it so I can take a look.

The only thing I've been told, all day, is that we may all be barking up the wrong tree .... bollocks and double bollocks!

Some, me included, assumed the progress/deal/announcement is dependent on the arrival of the Dell boys, hence all the plane spotting malarkey in which I've participated.

That's all exciting but may be pointless :rolleyes:

Apparently they have people in the UK, who will handle whatever occurs in the next week or so. I'm sure there are people imagining these billionaires sitting around nervously playing Kerplunk while they wait for white smoke coming out of the EFL chimney. But there's a suggestion that they've done what they needed to do, signed the cheque and gone home to make loads more money for our January war chest.
Their 'people' will tie up the loose ends and allow Donald & Methven to handle the media conference, etc.

Now my wild unsubstantiated guesses based on other bits & bobs I've been told previously.

If, as was suggested, the Dell boys are only popping in for games they'll either have to rely on Stew & Chas or appoint an 'ambassador' to represent their interests. If that''s the case it could be a video message from the lads and a slick presentation from the ambassador/overlord/boss with the current owners smiling and nodding. Could this be the delay with a dispute over what front is presented?
Could a new DOF/manager/whatever be introduced? There's certainly a lot of teasers coming out via RR/ALS/BBC etc which may just be stalling tactics.

I've no idea tbh, I've been thrown so many curve balls I'm struggle to juggle them all.

Far, far be it for me to criticise the presentation of a group of billionaires who know the game infinitely better than I do, but do you not think it'll look a bit weird if there's a press conference announcing it and none of them have bothered to turn up in person? Maybe it'll work great but to me it would hardly show intent of a group all in and wanting to make a success of it if they're sending a video from the states, would be like when big pop acts couldn't be arsed to turn up for top of the pops and they just played the music video! Not saying it would mean they aren't committed of course, but it would be a strange first impression to give the media etc

I'm just searching for past takeovers to see how they're done.

TBH I can't even remember what happened with Short.
