    Whenever I start to write a post on this thread, I end up asking myself, is there anything left to say? Over 40+ pages of comments later... no I don’t think there was! Not that I’m complaining, I get it. People want to talk it through. I’m just assuming there’ll be an edit in the title or a new thread for anything concrete.

    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!

    Be patient - Andy Delort signs tomorrow

    "Takeover Tomorrow" would be a good title for this thread. Or "The End of Roland is Nigh".

    We are so impatient! We've had three years of this crappy ownership that I'm sure we can all put up with a few more days if we have to (while hopefully the i's are dotted and the t's crossed). It may happen this week, it may not. We are confident it is happening! That is the main thing...

    and we're a day closer to it happening than we were yesterday!
  • It's obviously true that we need to be patient but it's worth remembering that any new owner would want a deal done so that they can make moves in the transfer window. If a deal is progressing, and is ultimately successful, then in less than three months, we will have new owners. Three months isn't too long to wait considering we've suffered these fools for almost four years.

    I'm assuming that the take over won't happen on this thread. This is just like a waiting room attached to the delivery room, and we as expectant fathers just pace up and down, smoking. Someone will call us when the happy event happens.
    This analogy is perhaps more apt if written in 1950.

    Hurry up! One way or another... PERLEASE!!!

    This thread is as tortuous as a transfer thread.

    Well to take your minds off it, how did Leon Best do and is he signing? Is big Josh being rested this weekend and lying in a deck chair somewhere sunny as we speak?

    Isn't that worth one promote?
  • 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.

    UK clubs are subject to enquiries frequently from would be owners abroad. And a London club with a decent pitch + stadium + location + history more so than most.

    Absolutely nothing has happened but least this threads given me a few laughs. Some genuine LOLs

    I got 40 lols for one post so don't care if the takeover happens now or not.
    How's the promotes going Henners :wink:
    Still be denied my true promote count by a jealous @AFKABartram
    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.
    Just proves that promotes have been so devalued these days ; - )
    You've got one promote, Henners - be proud of that ;-)
    I had 15 but @AFKABartram took them all away
    There’s certainly something fishy going on , I’ve only been flagged 32 times for Christ sake and I’m the king of the alt right nazis supposedly . :smiley:

    Only according to the public school boy "expert" on all thing far right as long as it's on the internet so he can show off. The rest of us think you're OK but read a lot of shite on the internet : - )

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

    If there’s no takeover then Leon Best will sign

    If the takeover goes through it will be Ronaldinho and Adriano #gettingthebandbacktogether

    Post elsewhere says no takeover unless someone comes up with £50m plus.
