Yeah it'll be a Marathon, don't get your Snickers in a Twirl, they maybe up to their usual Twix.LargeAddick said:

I may have missed it but what exactly was the 'evidence' that brought about this new story of a takeover? Was it a DD document? Was it a letter to a bank? Was it word and mouth? What was it and why do we think its still ongoing? Obviously names can't be given but clarity on what form the information was in would at least help substantiate wouldn't it? My source says its a non story and isn't happening and that source would know. Whether that is or isn't true and the reasons for saying that, as Airman alluded to, could be indeed for good reason - i.e the post zabeel crash etc etc?? I don't know but my view is that RD does want out and has done since relegation / the change in strategy 18 months ago and if I was a betting man I'd say he will sell in the summer whether we go up or not with the up or not being the last part of the deal affecting the price.3

Tens of thousands of pounds have been spent and Meire has been actively involved this week, which would be odd for something that isn’t happening at all. I can’t give up the sources for obvious reasons but they are multiple, well placed and don’t know each other.DOUCHER said:I may have missed it but what exactly was the 'evidence' that brought about this new story of a takeover?

If Meire has been heavily involved I expect this to collapse in to a massive pile of fail!36

Dread to think what Meire might tell any prospective buyer about us fans. Hopefully the other party/ parties will have the nous to do their own due diligence in that respect.15

I swear I have gone to purgatory with this thread. 500 years of a few comments an hour leading nowhere.

Meire being involved is only bad for one party Roland, she will be negotiating the offer down as soon as she gets in the office at midday.4

If Daisy has been involved in other lawyers I wonder how long it took for her to show herself up..??
I can just see her stomping around the office with the hump because she has failed to do something simple2 -

Doubtless there are all kinds of machinations going on.
I believe that the fundamental problem is that there is a desire to sell, but at a ridiculous price that would mean for Roland he can exit his experiment without it having cost him a groat.
If he can't get it he will continue to pile on the debt and any hope that he might remember establish a harmonious club will remain a hope. The stewardship of this regime is punctuated by alienating events, and just now we haven't definitively 'turned a corner' so much as getting a bit of high water before the tide turns again.
