I am having a dreadful time right now, I could lose my job and lose my livelihood, I am worried about money already as it is and all that comes with that. I really need some good news
If it does happen let's hope it's not a case of out of the frying pan. For all the abundance of negatives at least the bills have been paid albeit at the expense of a divided and dwindling fanbase.
Surely after the last 2 takeovers we're due a bit of luck. Ano ownership that can afford to run us and have footballing ambition without destroying the soul and identity of the club.
Andrew Muir is a passionate philanthropist. At The Good Guys he set up The Good Guys Foundation and Local Giving Program that sees a donation from every transaction in-store and online donated back to local charities. To date The Good Guys Local Giving Program has donated more than $8 million to more than 150 charities across Australia.
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.
Both good points.
I've skipped over some pages so sorry if the role has already been taken, but I'll play wet blanket and say there are probably still a lot of reasons that talks could still break down. Back in the spring the Aussie group were still looking for investors and I imagine there's still a possibility that they might not have the cash. Plus Roland could change his mind once he knows they have the money and up the price.
Lastly, we don't really know what to expect with this group given they're a new consortium. Having a former footballer or former executive doesn't automatically make them good, or mean they know what they're doing, or that they have the funds to do it.

The Tate & Lyle jetty is probably easier to wrap chains round anyway

Hopefully not too much to ask in 2017.

A mega rich middle eastern fella would fine

I'm treating this with cautious optimism.
