There's no rota, it's just ad hoc.

We are volunteers and we don't get paid.

And yes this thread has required a lot of administering by various staff members just to keep it going this far.

A thankless task, in some respects, I imagine. I see both angles. There are times when it's ever so slightly annoying (!) that mags masquerading as genuine fans get time & space to act as provokers & saboteurs, whilst said genuine fans appear to cop bans for responding, admittedly disproportionately, at times. Against that, the effort required to strike a balance between promoting free speech whilst attempting to ensure self-protection against possible legal suit & simultaneously weeding out bias & discrimination, of whatever stripe, etc. etc. can be no easy life. You've warned me in the past for something I simply didn't do, deleted some of my posts without obvious rhyme or reason, nevertheless it's a hats off from me (for what it's worth) because without you, this place would have ceased to exist long ago.I accept that it's simply not feasible for each & every post to be scrutinised to the nth degree.

We won’t be announcing at this time of night surely.

Other than Mike Ashley getting in the way of this deal for Newcastle and Keegan recommending us. (Both rumours, probably started on here.) what is the more embarrassment for the Mags in this deal?
 
Listening to the podcast now. Can't believe the way they're talking about it. No "allegedly" or "if it goes through" hedging.....juat straight talking about it as a fact.

Either they're getting way ahead of themselves or they've been told its done and dusted, Stewart staying etc. They've always been careful in the past so I'm optimistic that's the case.

Fallen through? Surely there should have been some hint here or there from the current owners

Hope I'm wrong but I reckon it's off

It suggests the exact opposite of that. If they're talking about it in absolute terms the deal must be complete, which ties on with what we are gearing everywhere.

Why on earth would you think it's off? Barring irrational skepticism?
 
Goodnight fellow posters, ahead lies 6 hours sleep..........hopefully......and on awakening....no further bloody forward re the takeover...indeed this is the Twighlight Zone/Groundhog Day all rolled into one:confused::evil:
 
I feel like we've won the lottery but can't find the winning ticket :evil: Just need this announcement so we can relax knowing it's a reality.

Brady is a f***ing joy to listen to like. Very perceptive and obviously cares about the club. Glad I listed to it as I had him down as a player who never really did much (never felt it was his fault mind, shocking luck with injury) making a living off the club.

If SD and CM are staying on its crucial they continue to have links with RR etc. For example....if they listen to that interview they'll be calling KB and taking him up on his idea to get former legends who spent some time here to inform what we need to change.

Ok then so what has he done apart from prance our club around like a two bit whore?

We were about to f***ing fold you absolute clown. They've taken us in one season from an economic disaster to the brink of ownership by a group of billionaires.

The idiocy/jealousy of some of our lot is mesmeric. Hard to wrap your head around in all honesty. I'm sure if he makes a couple of quid out of his efforts you'll feel justified.

Well said. There's some right nutters on here at times.
 
I’m getting the impression that RR were allowed to release the podcast in an attempt to try and reassure the fans all is well. However, instead I think it’s caused confusion and a bit of frustration. I’m not itk but I’d bet a Curly Wurly it won’t be completed before next week. A lot of the excitement and fireworks an announcement last week would have generated has been dampened a tiny bit.

if we are bought out fair enough

but we are losing our objective which is to get out of this league.

We don't even belong in the second division or third are you happy where we are? Are you a Dell Sellout?

FFS,

Everyone knows that the objective is to get out of this league. I don't think anyone's happy with the league we're in but i'm certainly happier than Bury supporters and we were very close to being in the same position.

Please explain what a Dell sellout is?
