If the calibre of managers we are supposedly looking at is true, then its off

Haway the takeover. I need to spend more time doing work at work instead of keep checking the news on here

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Here's a question for you. How much do you think Barnsley's owners are worth?

I recently read about them. They’re loaded

Would be nice to get some proper sleep instead of coming on here at all hours just to see the latest updates

According to people at the AOL last night it’s still on..

Can you expand on ‘people’?

Senior staff/receptionists/random dog walkers?

 

[Boris Bear]

There was some meeting of local business people at the AOL last night. Methven was there and told one of the people present (who is a friend of a member here) takeover is still on.

A lot of our fans think that getting these American investors on board means money will be no object. It doesn't always work out like that.

I'm going for "Talks ongoing, very hopeful" 6.00pm.

i was there n it was something like “i believe we can attract investment” very vague, shock.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

No

It’s alright, @DH4 is on hand.

Errrrr better to have backing than not, it's not money being no object it's getting value for the Fooka....

Pretty sure it's off. I've never seen a successful takeover drag out like this... There's obviously something investors aren't happy with when they get access to the books, given thats been two deals that have now fell through.

Manager wise, out of our choices it's got to be Stendle, plays decent football and why is Ainsworth even seen as a good option? One good 1/3 of a season and he's suddenly a top manager in the EFL?

I'd love be to see Roy Keane back, but truth be told I think he'd struggle given we're relying on free agents and loans at present.

you are kidding right????

this isn’t like buying a tin of beans for goodness sake

I was personally involved in a deal that took over 2 years to complete. It was never seriously in doubt, simply complex and the DD was done properly
