  • Enjoying a pre match birthday beer.
    Are they (nearly) all drinking Guinness in your honour  ;)
  • It was always Bear Island when I attended said pub.
  • Well if the ITK group would like to share what the motives were / current state of negotiations that would be nice too.
    Blimey it’s not difficult. Show the people involved what it can be like to encourage their interest.
    If it was that straightforward then I’d say job well done

    Can you confirm that Peter’s guys still attended the match, despite everything else going on?

    Quite. It’s not that difficult but still lots of mystery for those of us not in the inner circle. 

    Whilst NDAs play a part it would be nice if more were shared given particularly the ‘senior’ appointments made this week. That suggests others are more advanced doesn’t it?

    If you are hinting  PV party still in the running then all is good I guess.

    I think we have the general idea but surely it can't be that difficult to work out that people don't understand whether PV has any involvement with what has happened over the last week or whether that has scuppered what he was hoping to achieve or boosted it or??

    or whether what has happened this week is a temporary scenario to try and sell the club so PV was expecting it - my hunch is that but its anything but obvious

    I don’t speak for PV or have anything further to share but as I’ve already said I am certain he is not working with Methven or involved with this week’s appointments.

    Methven may well have investors in which case you’d think they are in pole position, but anything PV is doing is separate from that.

    That’s how I see it.

    Have you any thoughts on who made those four appointments ? Given Scott’s interview there’s money available so is it Sandgaard at this point ?

    No way is Sandgaard suddenly willing to invest heavily (if that’s what Scott is saying will happen)

    What I think I’m getting at is I agree that Sandgaard isn’t financing those appointments or the transfer kitty Scott spoke of so that implies the club is already sold. If it isn’t then who picks up that tab if it goes tits up ?

    I just think this is all very unrealistic, especially those demanding more info from PV, and quite frankly I’m inclined to think that anyone who was giving the kind of updates that people seem to want wouldn’t be somebody I’d fancy as owner; please see the incumbent , who was very generous in his pre takeover updates. Which as we can see now is because he is a stupid, incredibly unprofessional attention-seeking idiot - how he managed to make a multi million fortune I’ll never know. 

    People are considering things, doing due diligence (including perhaps watching last nights game), thinking, negotiating. Starting to mouth off about who is involved and having a Sky sports news style ticker tape updating constantly on what they are doing and where they are every day would be mad. There is a lot of validity in the policy which created the old CL adage of ‘WIOTOS’. Ie - make an announcement, when there is a proper announcement of meaning ready to be made or there is a necessity to make one, not when something is speculation or an idea.

    The purpose of PVs rallying tweet was clear, he’s attempting to garner interest in some form. That’s all we need to know for the moment. Maybe painting your house before sticking it on the market will get you an instant offer, maybe you won’t even get a viewing. You’ll find out in due course though.

    Has Charlie boy got any money?

    No
  • It’s odd. Appointing these 4 as a joint announcement in itself is odd. Minimal references to TS in the interviews makes little sense. 

    But why a new owner needs to put them in place first equally seems strange. 

    A change of some description seems to be more advanced. That suggests the other interested parties are not in the running unless the current front runners are just trying to ‘flip’ and negotiate a fee for stepping aside perhaps. 

    But that said would the ‘football’ appointments in the 4 want to be associated with a step in and immediately out again scenario?

    I just don’t get it.

    Is it? A new owner appointing staff seems pretty sensible to me

    The potential new owner in the ground the evening standard mention - who is that ?

    Is it a case of Sangaard putting in vases of flowers and putting coffee on to impress prospective buyers.

    I got to North Upper turnstiles about 7.35pm and was in within 2 minutes.
    I wonder what time people turned up who missed the start?

    Scott wasn’t asked about Sandgaard at all and didn’t mention him. Weird.

    You by the sound of it

    You nailed it and a massive queue must’ve started about 30 seconds after you went in, as we got there at 7.40 and had to wade our way through 100+ person queues for each of the handful of turnstiles that the upper tier has and got in 15mins into the game 
  • To be honest I think you could have called that crowd at the start, based on Norwich. A few hundred people may have responded to PV but it was always going to be about that level. 

    What’s striking is that the club didn’t have a clue.
    Did they not ?

    Surely the answer to that is the threat of relegation so real they need to ensure a decent Jan window and this is the way to achieve that.
    For whatever reason the deal can’t be done in time before the window. tS or RD being difficult is the obvious reason for this.
    Maybe 2 +2 = 5 but could be plausible
