[cite]Posted By: seth plum[/cite]Just heard from an impeccable source that this morning the takeover is definitely off. Sorry about that, but it is felt, apparantly, that the debt to possible income ratio in div three, even with promotion is too big a gap for potential investors.
Seth, you can check with your 'impeccable source' if you like, but if there was a takeover, then representatives of them were in the ground yesterday. Call me stupid but they may have guessed before yesterday there was a good chance we were going to be in division three....

Why spread a rumour you dont believe?
On the one hand you undermine an informant, then on the other you spread his news around.
What does that make you?
Well you could call that spreading rumour. It could also be deemed passing on information clearly stating where it had come from. You're being mischievious because you know as well as I do who actually put that rumour forward and how poor his record of success has been in the past.
Actually I was responding to the "six weeks" rumour which had already surfaced on this thread. I decided to share what was already in the public domain on another forum. I did not say it was something I had heard whispered from my aunties cousins, sisters, cat. I chose not to name the player because that in itself is an unsubstantiated assertion by the person who orginally started it. I didn't name the poster because I didn't want to embarass him but he tends to post things he's heard which turn out not to be true. I have no reason to believe he didn't have the conversation, I don't believe he's made that up but frankly I very much doubt that players have been briefed about a takeover.
Was there merit in posting it on here, well in the context of other sources of a six week takeover rumour, I think it was?
This rumour was rife on Saturday. If I was given a pound for everytime someone whispered it to me on Saturday, but told me to keep it confidential then I would have enough money to buy us another Deon Burton.
Apologies if I missed a mail or something - but the talk of "interesting people" in the directors box at the weekend...were they or arabian type descent?
Can't say I noticed them tbh - though I did see a man with Waggott last week and it seemed Waggy was pointing out different aspects of the ground to him and explaining a few things about it all
In fairness though - he looked more african than arab.
Hmm - i know we have to wait but the suspense is killing me
just a feeling I get, but any takeover will be on a very small scale and not make a huge difference to us other than maybe keeping us afloat a bit longer than otherwise might have been.

Obviously up all night, making a list of the world-class players we should buy after the takeover. Didn't get to bed until 6am, hence cornflakes at lunchtime...
end of the day a takeover is a takover and if they didn't have money to keep the club going they would not be able to complete it so don't worry about not having money, of course it is not going to be on the man city scale but we may have our training ground back at least!
the david gold varney rumours seem to keep poping up, i knew he wanted out of brum so could be plus hes a londoner and i think given time and backing we would be a bigger club then birmingham city, hope they bring Karen along to cheer the boys up too...
