It's dragged on for that long that I'm not actually bothered if it goes thru or not anymore!

Hopefully it's a yes/no today and then we can concentrate on the football and getting promoted. Do that and there will be plenty of interest in the club from prospective buyers.
same as , sick of it, just like brexit
 
Exactly this.

drag on????? It’s about 6 weeks for goodness sake

I assume you have never been involved in M&A activity, which is fair enough.

I promise you, 6 weeks isn’t very long at all. There is a lot to do and we can expect absolute thoroughness from this team. In my view that’s a good thing but I understand that many peoples lack of knowledge/experience in this area will draw them into negative assumptions

Ive seen no concrete evidence of significant problems with the deal. What we have seen is radio silence (which is a good thing and a positive sign) and a tiny amount of time pass.

I would say that of all the business purchases I’ve been involved in the average time for due diligence has been around 6 months. There was one that took 2 years and a merger that took 30 months

We don't know that yet. The Uruguayan Presidential elections are done and dusted so maybe he might fancy being more involved on the football side. I know it's a long shot but there's still the possibility that his father in law might start sniffing around when our profile is a bit higher.

I think the word is that he isn't interested anymore Alf. Which is right in line with the continuation of looking for "investment".
 
What will be will be. We'll be no worse off whatever happens.
Despite the shite I've posted, I'm far more concerned about who our new Manager will be and getting a result against Wycombe next Saturday

Apparently it is legit

“Ok I’ve heard this

MSD to invest (no takeover yet). Long term ideas for club, unsure which ones from msd are investing or if Dell is.
The Don and Meth Will be involved in some capacity. We are near the L1 equivalent of FFP so wouldn’t expect huge transfers immediately till finance review
yesterday it was all but done but a few things checked before announcing”
 
We won't hear anything today! Just a gut feeling. It's off imo. It's dragged on for so long, during which time we were told twice it'd be completed by two different weekends.

We were told we'd know in 1 or 2 weeks... Nearly 3 weeks ago.

Let’s face it today is going to kick off. The Americans aren’t coming anymore and we’re gett that bin man and Ainsworth. How utterly depressing. Feels like we’re just in the quagmire and remaining there till someone turns out the lights
Bin man :lol:

It hasn’t dragged on at all ya pussy. Takeovers and large investment takes months, not weeks. Even it it does happen I think it could still take several weeks. And don’t expect a big yes or no today......
 
Do people still actually believe something is happening? Hope I'm wrong but not holding my breath
I think there is something going on because it really isn't difficult to make an announcement saying its off especially if you believe what you read on here and that its been off for days. Why should there be any delay?

I suspect its a matter of the Yanks deciding if they want to buy the whole shebang or whether they just want to invest in the Club or indeed say goodbye. Donald has referred to "an investment" through much of the affair so in my opinion the Yanks have probably been weighing up the options and what they want to do. To be fair to Donald I don't think that he has ever said that selling the Club to the Yanks was the only option. It's those who incorrectly claimed that the sale was a done deal weeks ago who pumped up people's expectations to a ridiculous degree.

If the Yanks do put money in to the Club it will do us an enormous amount of good. Its not something that I would be disappointed about
