The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

Isawsummersplay

Whilst nothing could ever surpass the return to The Valley and the emotion I felt sat in the Covered End as the team walked out onto the pitch at 2:55pm on 5 December 1992, the long-awaited departure of Duchatelet et al would run it a close second. If only...........

Please be happening. I can't do this anymore

CHG

Please, would be an amazing day, would be well made up.

"We also understand that former chairman and current director Richard Murray has been keen to play a role in the new administration."

Turn it in Richard!

That made me chuckle. I think we can just assume this is the case with all bids for the club, ever.

This is fantastic news cant wait for Saturday now....the end for them is nigh but a word of caution KM was quite clear 'the club is not for sale' it would be unlike her to mislead us

You've never mentioned you was a director...

I won't believe it until it's official, but VOTV is a creditable source

35 years since Simonsen, Big aka Fat Sam coming in and the Belgians doing one ? I need a lie down.

I am praying for this to be true and is going to happen. If it goes through by Wimbledon at home, it has to be the biggest crowd we have had in a long time. Celebrations, party, incredible atmosphere

I can’t wait!

@Stig tough luck feller I was gonna buy you a ticket to the Truro game....

If VOTV says it's close then it's close. It won't be the messengers fault if any deal collapses.

Fingers crossed it doesn't.

Sports Direct Valley anyone?

Could do a lot lot worse IMO.

You're joking. Really!?

Mike Ashley was not a bad owner in slightest, him as a person is more questionable but he plowed loads of money into Newcastle, their fans just have a false sense of big club entitlement

Are we that sure that it's the Aussies ? The VOTV piece suggests that but are there other possibilities ?
