    would stick an extra 500 on the gate Saturday if it happens
  • Would be a great start to the New Year - seems unlikely....

    Jim White just said Aussie takeover expected in the next 48 hours.

    Sky sports commentators said the same thing after the play off home leg against shrewsbury

    Starting to feel like I picked the right game to end my home game boycott, what a great atmosphere it could be, free of Roland celebrations flowing and playing Sunderland with a good memory of that 4-4 penalty victory at the back of all our minds to keep us all inspired for a late promotion push

    Let it be.
  • Next stage is; The documents are waiting/are with the football league. Which will then be batted around for a few more weeks with the league saying they haven't seen them and the club saying oh yes you have and the silent buyers leaking that a deal is close to completion and that they have completed all relevant documents and agreed a price.
    While simultaneously two bit hacks on two bit news programmes and two bit newspapers release vague messages, pretending they have the ear of the purchasers or the inside mole at the club. They might as well look at pine cones, they would be just as accurate as has been proved by their past predictions.

    The Aussies/whoever didn't want to stump up the cash in the past or didn't have the cash in the past, nothing much has changed from last season when we were play off material to this year when we are play off material once more. That's about as much as most really know or can conclude from what has not happened.

    Unless, of course, the positive spin is that maybe the Aussies didnt like or want to finance the likes of Sarr and Bauer at their rates, and now believe its the perfect /optimum time, with the club in the top 6 to spend the cash (with maybe a discounted price) with the possibility of getting to the Champs.

    The thing is, if its the same Aussie consortium as before, then why would they need to be shown around the Valley again?

    Started listening thinking Simon Jordan is such a belled.

    Ended thinking, he actually is alright.

    WHAT IS HAPPENING.

    The format on talk sport generally gets the best from him. If you ever read his old newspaper columns it'd be 5 paragraphs, the first and last of which would be terrible, with him name dropping and stroking his own ego, whilst there would often be a decent point hidden in the middle of the shit sandwich.

    On talk sport, whether through the format or him mateluring, he generally comes across well and make decent points. Plus he provides a useful different perspective from the old boys club of ex pros.

    A takeover on Friday would be a lovely birthday present for me.

    Same here! Fingers crossed

    My understanding is that's it is new Aussies with a younger bloke being the main money but still linked to the same original bid via Murphy.

    My own view is that Duchatelet is still a twat and will dick around with this and any other potential buyers.

    White is most likely being fed his info from Roland or his stooges.

    There is no 48 or 72 deadline and White never said there was.

    According to JW we have three games in hand on Portsmouth.

    Not sure how to take his other 'fact' about a sale in 48 hours.

    Or maybe 72 hours.

    Maybe they're giving them to us as part of the deal. I like these new owners already.

    Sadly, I think you are correct. I refuse to get my hopes up. White is just speculating (he's a journalist after all) it's his job to conjure up a good story. WIOTOS !!

    Reckon if the price quoted is correct between 20-30million, there will be a clause for a further payment on promotion to the Championship with one fee if it is this season and a lesser fee if it's the following season. Roland will still be in the background trying to claw back as much money as possible.
