    No further clues yet then? Could be anyone. Did anyone notice anyone unusual new comers in the West stand?

    Certainly sounds a lot more plausible.
  • Bit disappointed that nobody heard anything this afternoon. Fans Forum just a week away now. I hope we have our questions sorted out. LVT can’t trot out that there are five groups interested and Aussies favourite yet again. Although I suspect that’s exactly what he’ll say.

    I got wind of this latest news a few days back.....but because of all the false dawns I was very very reluctant to mention it. Glad someone else has picked up on it and had the bottle to run with it. All I can say is it confirms what I heard.

    I think there could be some lit legs to this story, my sauce told me there'd be a nailed on, on fire Australian in the crowd today.

    Even if the new sale is BS, given that three quarters of the squad are out of contract in June, a canny owner might finance a proper push for top two with the aim of getting rid of us quicker.

    If he does sell, ending his tenure giving a manager money to spend might undo some of his legacy of pissing money up the wall to no effect.

    He’s said it before ... all football fans are ill educated ... he truly believes that he can pull the wool over our eyes yet again.

    The man is an arrogant prat ... unfortunately he is also rich, so can do what he wants with our club.

    True, but he also believes that he has done well by the club and that the criticism is unfounded. He can rightly point to signings he has made that have cost a lot either in fees or salary, and in some cases both.

    I would not put it past him to make a mark purchase to put his tenure in a good light.

    May I be the first to say that if he does in fact do this I would have to reconsider my views on his ownership and put him into possibly the best owner we have ever had categories.

    As long as he sells, obviously.
  • I have little ( actually, nothing) of note to add to today's mounting hysteria ....

    .....except to say that, scouring the West from my vantage point in the East this afternoon, there was no sign of cossack dancing in the aisles when we scored.

    Neither was there a sighting of a samovar steaming away at half time.

    But, as is my wont, I am ready, willing & able to accept my mission to re-enter Rat territory in one final effort to persuade the Dark Lord that the time is right to throw in the proverbial & make a strategic, if overdue, exit.

    I'd like to assure you that, despite whispers to the contrary, my loins remain oiled & coiled like well honed springs to, well, spring into action as required.

    Of course, I cannot speak for my suggested partner in grime, but I would appreciate a whip round for a couple of wines to provide some much needed Flemish courage before CE and I prepare to beard the **** in his den- please insert your own insult as applicable.

    Of course, as respected & #unblemished members of this revered site, we MUST remain anonymous so from hereon in, please refer to us as Kiss and BBB ( short for Boil in the (old) Bag).

    So, as the planning of (codename) The Taking of Bellend I 2 3 begins, please hold this thought....

    It was all Sam's idea.

    If it’s true they were even there, at least it shows there is still interest.
    Price as we all know is the issue.
    Perhaps he’s getting ready to drop the price and try to get a bun fight going when he does

    Nobody to my knowledge has ever provided any evidence to say price is an issue other than to speculate that rumoured price is too high. Contrarily, RD has stated price is agreed and this was confirmed by JS for the Ozzies. Nobody does DD without knowing what purchase will cost.
    Scottish consortium openly said they dropped out as the asking price was ridiculous.

    What stage are we at in the takeover cycle? If I remember right, there were six stages...

    House buying

    From Twatter.....

    That may be the case but if as De Turck says there are 5 interested parties they could simply be viewing the assets? A bit like a house viewing? Doesn’t mean they’re definitely buying. You will agree that these rumours always start when ever there’s a transfer window opening
  • If you ignore the stupid price, it would be a good time to purchase the club. You can make the additional investment needed to push for promotion knowing that at the end of the season a load of high earners come off the books, giving you a clean slate going forward.

    If it helps, a lot of stages usually have pantos on them at this time of year...
