  • 1775, Jane Austen born.
  • I take it there’s no take over news, rumours or updates. Lots of pages on other stuff. Maybe headline can be updated - last takeover post page 1750 or something.
  • Was that the year?

    oh yeh about 4/5 days old.. I am just wondering wether it is £30 plus add ons. Indicates RD was FULL price up front? Unless he has offered £20 million and then another £10 million on top.... we will never know 
    Rudders......I am not sure why you have reposted this old news???
    Some readers will not realise it and think it’s a new statement from Dalman.....I know I did and was left feeling very despondent for a minute or two until I saw posts from a couple of others pointing out it was several days old............I hope it wasn’t your idea of a joke?
    We STILL live in hope Rudders!

    Yeah, Rudders ..... sort it out, mate.

    It's all your fault the takeover hasn't happened yet! :smile:

    I always refer to Mr Crotch as Willy.
  • The wait is so frustrating. We are so close to being a club seriously on the up. Probably about 5m difference away from a sale.

    I fear if it's not done by august any new owners will in hindsight see they should have paid it as we will most likely be back in Division 3.

    Roland had a relegation clause when he bought the club (I think he paid £4m less if we went down). I can see the buyers doing the same if it drags on too long.

    Well it’s sounds like it’s not off. Doesn’t seem that Dalman is in too much of a rush to leave though. Looking no better than 40/60 against to me.
  • I couldn't sleep plus frustrated with the current owner I guess destroying our club.

    Oggy. It wasn't meant as a joke mate. It is beyond a joke mate. 
  • I am beginning wonder if Dalman is the man who stole Warnock's eyebrows.  He's quite hirsute for his age!

    Anyway - this sounds a bit like panic stations at Cardiff.  Warnock knows the owners are very hard to deal with so still wouldn't ignore the possibility of Warnock coming in as Director of Football and I can not think of many better mentors for someone learning their trade like Bowyer is

    Possible hint here from a cheeky Bobby
    The new owner is from Nice. 
    Is he a descendant of the House of Bourbon?

    Or maybe Wales?  A partnership between Mehmet Dalman & Di Gestive?

    One would presume that both Dalman and Warnock have houses around here somewhere.
  • Sovereign wealth. We're being bought by the Bourbons.

    Gallen's already doing that role or close enough to it very well, why would we need Warnock?
    Gallen is only doing it because there is no one else to do it.

    Gallen might want to just be Head of recruitment... it’s the role he came in to do

    Gallens main focus is player recruitment and current player contracts. Warnock can come in and lend his experience on the footballing side. All bases covered.

    Cardiff seemed very sure Dalman was staying last week. Not the case at all now judging by Warnock's comments.

    Gallen sounded like he was seriously overworked and struggling to keep up in his latest interview (not surprised).

    An interesting one where Gallen is clearly overworked and doing things which he wasn't recruited to do, but is probably loving it!
  • I have a bad feeling that Dalman may come in and replace Bowyer with Warnock

    That’s partly because there isn’t a chief executive, in my opinion.
    Exactly. He's doing at least 2 jobs.

    Last year I was working on a team that went through a sustained period of being under resourced and was doing what felt like the role for 2-3 people. Probably the most enjoyable working period I’ve ever had.
