    There there everyone, hush now, Daddy’s going to sing you all to sleep and when you all wake in the morning, you’ll realise it’s just been a terrible dream, that’s all.

    Rock a bye CL on the tree top.

    Your not my real daddy anyway

    Holy feck! I checked in yesterday and had around 200 posts to get through... this morning it’s 1100!! I’m guessing nothings happened.

    I can confirm this is correct but before you ask I can not reveal my source

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    All posts are equal.

    You know the absolute worst thing about this weeks sorry little episode....

    About 10 pages ago @DOUCHER said it wasn’t happening so he’s actually got something right .

    NEVER DOUBT THE DOUCHE
    The douche’s current position is that something is happening but nothing is confirmed and that something may or may not develop into something concrete - that’s all I know although I will be the first to know once something concrete does happen - forget WIITOS - OAFDUMP it is.

    My immediate concern is whether RD is about to sell Taylor to the spanners to help towards the mounting running costs.

    If that happens then i think i'll be done with this club
    No major player sales this window - I know that for a fact

    Great news if it's true.
  • I think Donald Rumsfeld summed up this take over thread aptly. In that there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know.*

    *This joke has probably been done before during the previous 1440 pages.

    I said a little while back I didn't think there'd be any .
    The Konsa deal felt like it put a bit of a spanner in the works of the free flowing sale of our club and I'm sure any prospective buyer doesn't want that to be happening again when we must be closer than previously to a sale

    Not a fact when we don’t know what bids might come in, what players might have their heads turned and put in a transfer request to force a move.

    It might be the intention but then you also said the takeover would be done during the summer like it was fact.

    Just listened to the latest JW talkSPORT clip. It's one almighty backtrack from what he said last week but appreciate him keeping it in the spotlight and getting updates.

    Perhaps if she was involved it would get done, with the buyers walking all over her like the agents and players used to. At least she could say that she liked doing the deal.

    I must say we haven't really noticed her absence - the fact that we can carry on for months without a CEO etc speaks volumes for their contribution when they were here.

    An update would be nice but I don’t think we can rely on getting one. Unless everything was resolved one way or another last night there are very likely quite sensitive issues which any of the sources might be reluctant or unable to pass on at this point. Just hearing that a meeting actually took place would be huge.

    My guess is that we’ll hear over the course of the day that it’s all still on and all off. Next raft of information will be from the Fans Forum. Frustrating but what can we do.

    Would expect to hear very little mention of us from JW today or any time soon.
