No one said it’s not a gamble worth taking or that RD was that bad. The point was made that no owner could be as bad as RD. I disagree with that and the O’s and Blackpool owners would suggest I’m right.
Depends how you interpret 'no owner' I'd take that to mean no new owner of us because I wouldn't think for one minute the Oystons or the Orient destroyer would now want to get involved with us or come to that would be allowed to. Anything else is purely hypothetical.
Eh? Sorry that doesn’t make sense. The original statement was: No owner can be as bad as RD.
Taking your interpretation: Do you really think no new owner can be as bad? That history shows only the two you mention -Becchetti and the Oystons - are as bad as RD? If you do then you’ve chosen to ignore Cellino (Leeds), SISU Capital (Coventry), Chanrai (Portsmouth), the Venkys (Blackburn) I could go on.... Look, the new lot will hopefully be brilliant and we’ll march to the Premier League and Champions League titles within five years. But for now you can’t say they won’t be as bad as (or, god forbid, worse than) RD. We simply don’t know.
Calm down, calm down I haven't chosen to ignore anything but neither am I going to base the future on the handful of zealots (I was merely referring back to your examples of the Oystens and Orient) that have ruined football clubs in the past. Especially compared to the hundreds of owners whose intentions have been honourable and I did say anything else is hypothetical ie we don't know. I'll deal with with any negativities from a new ownership as and when but for now I'm not going to let anyone piss on my Moët.
Oh dear.....I'm perfectly calm. But one more time, just for the record and to get this back on point - my comments were about a post that stated 'no owner can be as bad as RD'. Historically owners have been and there's no guarantee the new lot will be better. That does not mean I think Roland has been good, decent, average. He's been disastrous. I'm not a Roland apologist. I despise the man for everything he's done to our club. Can we give this a rest now?
As you asked so nicely of course we can, just try not to be so condescending next time.
Haha....ok. Just as long as you learn to read then write a response that's relevant to what I said.
Ah but you made assumptions from what I wrote and drew the wrong conclusions, people in glasshouses
Seems weird that a date can be assured of for a sale if there are a number of interested buyers.
Then again I could also make up stuff on the internet that no one could ever prove wrong.
Hope you're not referring to anyone in particular, as there's enough knicker-twisting going on this thread already.
I just find it odd people make stuff up just to try and make out they are on the inside.
The problem is that we don't know for sure who is ITK and who isn't. Experience tells which posters tend to be reliable and the comments from elsewhere should just be taken with a pinch of salt.
My point still stands though. Undoubtedly there are people who make shit up and it's just baffling.
I guess it's a bit like the modern day fortune teller, say some stuff, be as vague as possible and hope that enough people buy into the shit you are spouting.
where I stand:
there are a few posters on here that I know personally and if they post something I would trust the information given as I know them and they wouldn't bullshit
there are a few posters on here who I don't know personally but the above do know and so I'm more inclined to trust what they say in the main
the great majority of posters I don't know from Adam and therefore take their posts with a generous pinch of salt although of course what they are posting could be correct
and then there is DOUCHER
I'm an enigma large you're right - uncategorisable - I do not claim to know who the bidders are or when things will happen. I do occasionally correct know it alls when they are wrong and I do sometimes have information to offer before it is in the public domain - from a variety of sources. For the benefit of the board of course - annoying the pedants is also a bit of a laugh but I never post incorrect info to wind people up - humour is the best way to respond to some people - if that comes across as being a WUM so be it.
As most of you are a day behind back in England, and as we've now slipped over into 1 February here, I am just letting you know Charlton's not been sold yet. I'll keep you updated.
so who do we rule out now then from the takeover ITK club - airman sand red henry can't both be right - are either of them right? possibly, both? definitely not
Konsa staying is the biggest indicator yet for me that a sale really is imminent.
Fully expected RD to cash in Konsa and stall negotiations to get the price he wants.
Maybe Murray played a part in persuading RD not to cash in on Konsa due to us already having 5 loans in.
I said a few days ago let's see where we are on Feb 1st before saying it's a good window. It's now been a good window, we've lost Holmes but replaced him with some good additions.
More convinced than ever now RD is out by the end of the month, it'd be great to see the whole club pulling together for a promotion push when he does finally go.
Comments
You exchange contracts (both parties sign the contract) and a completion date was set (in my case it was 28 days into the next month)
On completion the buyer will own(buy) the property.
I suspect that the contracts (by both parties) for the purchase of the club have been signed,
We are now awaiting the completion date, when the new owner will have legally purchased the club.
When Richard Murray spoke to the staff , he must have been confident that the contracts was signed and agreed and he
was awaiting the completion date, to transfer the club to the new owners.
Everybody is jittery , and the suspense is killing me and many of the supporters.
I am happy that the deal has been struck, and we all need to be patient, for the next few weeks
I'm a few laps ahead though ...
I've only got enough hate for one Douche!
I can’t wait until this is over as well as the takeover!
Three groups still negotiating. No formal bids and yet the information we are getting is that it will be done within four weeks.
When he knows, we'll know.
;-)
