Takeover Rumours

[Reiver]

Mod warning why?

Tell me about the crumbling Mags ground instead then.

There's a lad, who posts on here, who knows the situation better but it's basically faults where the steel fittings go through the concrete.

Ironically, because the ground isn't a modern bowl, the 'design' catches the wind and puts a huge strain on the fittings.

If prospective owners 'catch wind' of it that could really put them off ....

... which, through sheer spite, is the reason I keep mentioning it

So weve got
roker report saying within a week
Radio newcastle saying end of this week or start of next
Echo saying within the coming days

Are they trying to make us more mental

 

[Mk Mackem]

Do you think he's done a bad job so far, considering the mess he took over?

They have done an amazing job since taking over, and when the news breaks all hell will let loose...bring on the announcement

Just sign Marcus Maddison in january and jobs a guddun

It’s what we should have done last January. Would have saved some money and got us promoted anarl

 

[Red]

With how much of his own money?

You still haven't answered my question.

 

[Billy Batts]

Makes me laugh folk criticising the Grigg signing, ohh I didn't want him in the first place etc. Bollocks. Practically everyone was ripping their skin back when we signed an absolute proven league one striker.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

What they’re saying in reality is “we haven’t got a scoobies when it will be”.

I suspect they're being drip fed guesses which means they can only guess, themselves, which is fair enough imo.

I keep saying, I doubt the 'owners' are sure.

Short sightedness on behalf of the management, maybe this coming Jan if we're not in the top two ?

Just drove past the sol so I thought I’d have a drive round.
There were some people hanging around the car park on phones and a couple of separate groups heading towards the main entrance. Looked like shifty press types to me but I’m so fucked up off this take over, I’m probably adding 2 and 2 and getting 5

Was the catering representitive. Will be for the big party

That's fair enough - on the evidence so far I disagree but would very gladly be proven wrong if, as seems likely, they're left in charge

Whee gives a shoite....if it was a freebie why didn't ye gan for it?

A lot, rightly imo, voiced concerns about the fee we paid

I'm on thin ice mate, I've just had another Mod warning and I'm not sure why.

I've just asked so I can post without risking yet another ban.

Without some kind of nod I've no way of sussing which of my last billion posts was the bad one.

Don't think any were bad ones.

Was something I tried to message you about last night possibly.

Message if can.

You still haven't answered my question.

I have no disagreement that SD bought the club with no debt. But your idea that he was the only one able to do so is wrong

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

There'll be an intention on both sides. However, the suggestion is that the outstanding issues involve third parties who may not be so co-operative.

I didn’t want him and thought it was a panic buy

Well I reckon you’re in the minority . Granted the purchase would appear a poor one but that’s down to Ross and the player himself.

It's not though - that's the whole point he's making. Grigg wasn't a good fit for the team we had at the time and despite what people say now there were plenty saying it then.

He'd no longer be a big fish in a small pool.

I could give you links to me saying exactly what I’ve said on this thread from back before we signed him but I honestly can’t be arsed.

At the time, at that moment, with what seemed minutes to go until the window shut, we desperately needed a striker. I thought, ok that's a bit steep but fuck it, he'll score the goals to get us up and nobody will care. Like I say, easy in hindsight.
