Takeover Rumours

Status
Not open for further replies.
Yip. Subjective.

To me they are enormous but would a manager join a smaller club in prem or championship. ...probably
 

Car in the community? Isn’t that a taxi? :lol:
Funnily enough there is actually a "taxi bus" run by the council for the benefit of pensioners who struggle to get on a bus. Thay can use theie passes on it.
Anyway..... About this takeover, any update overnight?
No, lawyers are spinning it out. Grumpy old man reckons they will do this until buyer and seller have had enough.

Ok. Have read Reivers posts and they good and informative.

Possibly they do want bigg (ish) name moving forward as most new owners would.

I do know JR is regarded and has interested some big clubs ( when asked was it the two big Scottish clubs I was only advised bigger).

My view was Scotland itself but I didn't push for answer.

Hypocritical of me as I can't release source.

Thanks.

Think so called happy clappers get annoyed with those that change with the wind or those that would complain if we were beaten by man c on goal difference in two years. .....like me ;)
Jack.Ross has interested clubs bigger than celtic and rangers based on his showing here?

Tell your source theyre fulla shite

I'm not sure how there would be unless we had a member of the EFL committee on here and he or she was prepared to break the law by revealing confidential matters?

Wish it would just happen.

On a side note, why aren't gifs working anymore?

Nearly on 500 pages :lol: so I’ll add to the tally. I missed the Peterborough game due to illness (fortunate some may say) and I have to say I hope that when this deal eventually comes off, it goes some way to reducing the in fighting on this board.
Its only in recent years, can I ever recall the amount ‘discussion’ that’s gone well beyond banter. If that’s due In some part with our current situation on the field or whether it’s just how we as ‘fans’ generally cope with each other these days, who can say but it seems the place has turned more schoolyard than general piss taking and random craic.
Like I say I sit in Hope that this takeover, new dawn, rise from the ashes, can eventually restore some sort of normality on here. Sadly I suspect, should we ever happen to pull off the ridiculous and actually win something, we’d still get a core of fans that would generally twist, moan, argue, abuse and generally piss on someone else’s chips because they’ve nowt better to do.
I’m as fed up with the rest of people on here. I’m no happy clapper, nor am I a Jack Ross hater. Something has to change and we are possible (actually) on the verge of that actually happening after all the shite we have had served up this could be potentially dish up something most of us haven’t yet tasted. Let’s try not to sour that.
Simply block the serial dullards who would twist on 21 and the pathetic undercover mags. Don’t feed the f***ing arseholes, I bit earlier then realised I was part of the problem. They’re all on ignore now and it’s great
 
Suppose there's no clear definition of a 'big club' so you could argue that plenty are bigger in the premier league and even championship if you used your own criteria.
I don't understand this debate about whether or not we are a 'big club'. Can someone explain why it matters.

Precisely mate.

Everything thing except the big EFL rubber stamp has been done.

So there's absolutely nothing that can be reported/updated/confirmed.

It's possible I'll get the nod, when the hammer falls, but only minutes before the announcement.

In reality the people involved will be too busy popping the champagne to worry about calling me.

Fingers crossed, mate. I haven't been this excited about something potentially happening at the club since the whole M'Vila saga.

Ahhh champagne, corks, Keano is coming home :D
 
I see that the potential new investors have an interest in the Miami Marlins MLB team.

Hope that’s not an omen. Because they have been terrible for years and are currently on course to record the third-worst season in over 150 years of baseball history.



Only the ’62 Mets and 1899 Spiders (!) have done worse.

This does concern me a tad, however I think it’s already been mentioned that it’s a different arrangement, they facilitate funds in exchange for dividends. I don’t think they’re “all in” as they’re (hopefully) going to be with us.

I would have to conker with you marra....Nothing i've seen from Jack Ross whilst he has been here would suggest he is more than another run of the mill Scottish manager. Tactic, team formations, choice of player types or drive, for me are at best mediocre.
