    Curbs wanted to leave - he was clearly jaded with the fight and was willing to honour his contract begrudgingly - not with enthusiasm - one more year. Perfectly understandable why Murray and he agreed to finish it early. Fans didn't want him out - yes you now can find fans who want Powell out - but they are the minority and I am sick to death of lazy jounos who know nothing about what actually happened pushing this rubbish.

    Totally agree with all this. When you stay up for all those years you start to think you can at least match it easily with a new guy. People (Murray included) didn't realise what a miracle worker Curbs was. In hindsight, which of course was easy to do, Murray would admit no doubt that Curbs should have been allowed to see out his contract. Especially seeing as the TV money was increasing that year. It possibly would have allowed him more time to find a better candidate too, seeing as Dowie and Parky were two of those heading up his hitlist.
    Of course with hindsight that statement couldn't be more true - but the joint decision they made (Murray and Curbs) not the fans - seemed reasonable at the time.

    But as this is a thread of potential takeover the statement from ITTV seems to have gone by without much coment I take it they are not much of a source :O)

    Why does anyone take any notice of what goes over there?

    I was asking why is such a bad source of information

    Yep. Although I always wondered whether it was a bit of cutting his nose off to spite his face/stubbornness by Murray just because Curbs wouldn't sign a me contract. What's done is done either way I suppose.
  • Can the Curbs discussion go else where please.
  • Another time when a comment from Airman would be interesting. If the Belgian has been shown round the offices, he would probably know.
  • From ITTV - anyone in a position to verify or otherwise?:

    Seems to be a done deal with the Belgian
    Has been escorted round the offices today. Expect an announcement shortly

    Bloody hell, it's no different to here is it? "Yeah I knew that as well but didn't want to say..."

    Course you did...
  • They have had a few things right recently.

    yeah, to be fair. They're saying that the belgian is being shown round the offices today and to expect an announcement "shortly" for those of you who want to keep it in this megathread.

    I have already had the insults from the keyboard warrior even though i've never posted on there. I'm looking forward to my own thread.

    The same thing is happening with Man Utd right now. Not on such a drastic scale of course, but Fergie won the league with a pretty average team last season. Moyes is a top manager but he's not in Fergie's league.

    If your facebook username is the same as your username on here he'll track it down and message you for a "discussion" at a venue of your choice.
  • Oh god,

    The refresh-a-thon has begun!
  • That's it were in a middle of a takeover lets all discuss Man U & Reams....

    Jeez, I only asked if anyone was in a position to verify or otherwise the comment from ITTV - nothing more, nothing less. If you can't verify or otherwise then you might as well get back to the 'should Curbs be playing Redfearn' etc. tangent

  • They've. Got. Acworth.

    'Shortly' could be anything from this afternoon to the end of next week - it's all relative. However, a tour of the offices sounds very promising at least in that he is still contemplating purchasing the club.

    I still believe that if we need something that requires a decision from a senior bank official or advice from a solicitor we might be waiting until next week as many people will have taken today and tomorrow off.
  • Once this takeover goes through operation get ac back is on!
  • Need a new F5 button for my keyboard.

    I don't think you get a tour unless you are going to buy - also by doing this the club will know the news will get out. What we need to know is, has this actually happened? We will of course find out, but th esooner we get confirmation of this th ebetter.
  • c'mon, someone must know someone working at the Club and can verify this

  • c'mon, someone must know someone working at the Club and can verify this

    The only news that seems to get leaked from The Valley is bad news
  • Sorry large I don't think anyone works at the valley anymore
  • c'mon, someone must know someone working at the Club and can verify this

    @Molob was quick out of the blocks with the wages hiccough at the end of November :-0

    Will the tour of the Valley be concluded with a free lunch in Bartrams?

    Bleeding heck... What happened to all the takeovers from all the tours that happened over Half-Term then... ;-)
  • Have started a new takeover thread, please try and keep that one on track and continue any other spats or off topic on-going stuff here. cheers
  • I don't like the Mk 3 thread - it's rubbish in the same way that the Mk 3 Cortina was. I bet there won't be a Lotus version of the Mk 3 thread either.
