    Someone ITK on another forum seems to think Roly will keep some form of interest should a purchase go through

    So may rumours...oh who to believe

    I'm reliably informed that there is nothing happening and its been a non story from the start.



    I can 100% tell you that is 100% incorrect

    What you posted later with regards to it being right and now not may be true I don’t have any knowledge on that part

    I don't think we need to disrespect Doucher's motives over this. There has always been an inconsistency between my sources over timing, which I took a view on. I haven't spoken to the ex-directors (and I wouldn't expect them to breach any confidences to talk to me when they potentially stand to gain financially), but for example you can't sell the club without them knowing because they have a first charge over the assets. So they would know if something was imminent.

    Equally, if they don't know that doesn't disprove that there is a process, because they don't need to be brought in to the discussion until the end. And I would expect the club to deny there is a process full stop.

I don't say this with any pleasure and I'm sure most will either ignore me or call me beardface or some other nonsense but there you go. Only passing on what I've been told - if I think its appropriate - as always.

    If you cannot bring good news then don't bring any- Bob Dylan (The Wicked Messenger).
  • If I remember correctly, the correct translation of the French verb 'doucher' is 'to dampen', as in 'to dampen one's enthusiasm'. I assume that you are merely validating your 'nom de plume'.

    What's French for 'nom de plume' then clever clogs?

    I got 40 lols for one post so don't care if the takeover happens now or not.
  • And still we wait, if nothing else I’ve learned a lot about Sue Parkes’s vol au vont habit during the last few hundred posts.Although “who ate all the vol au vonts” might not catch on as it doesn’t quite have the same snappiness as “who ate all the pies”

    I won't have a bad word said against our glorious leader who gave me my Ist promote after the away game at Wigan when I claimed to have played with better Sunday league keepers than Thuram.

  • How patient are we to be this time...

    Cause this is doing me head in...please let it happen,for sanity's sake

    Jesus Christ. Rick said it could be done by the end of this week at the earliest. So likelihood any deal would be done in a few weeks. If at all.
    Ooooops...soz...my winky face didn't work at the end of it...doh...!!!

    When they've sold it, as technically at that point it won't be for sale.

    Henners would never call me that, we've stood shoulder to shoulder for the cause, I needed an orange box mind :wink:

    I predict a missive from AFKA to get this thread back on track when he wades through this lot later.

    the real tragedy in this taking so long is the takeover won’t be in the new football manager that’s being released in the next week or so

    So then ,after 88 pages we're still no wiser if it's happening or not, I reckon at least by page 100, we'll have something to celebrate or then again, probably not!
