Happy new year I’m thinking0

Murray has been misquoted.
What he actually said was:
'I was very surprised when I found out that Katrien worked here.'63 -
She needs some flowers to be sent.1

This is fantastic news.
Now I believe it really is happening.12 -
Another great Murray-ism. It's likely Meire's departure date of 31 December was agreed back in October, but at this stage was assumed to include a handover period to the new owner. This particular scenario then dragged out, but it sounds like she didn't want to wait around any longer for the various bidders (as now being reported) to be played off against each other.micks1950 said:
I don't think anyone ever suggested that Meire was their source (not even Doucher)?LargeAddick said:a few on here 'in the know' and yet KM's resignation has not been mentioned at all. Are they as 'in the know' as they/we believe?
And as for Doucher's probable source he didn't know either apparently:
Director Richard Murray added: “I was very surprised when Katrien told me she is stepping down and I am sad to see her go".2 -
Fingers crossed but I still think Duchatelet will not leave without a bombshell being dropped.Redhenry said:If it's the one I heard, money won't be an issue

Well this is a very welcome belated Christmas gift. Clearly both parties are confident that this takeover will go ahead or Duchatelet would want Meire in post to negotiate any player contracts in January. I think we can all start to get excited now.
Someone needs to post that Roly It's Happening gif!3 -
Would suggest to me that the new owners saw enough during the due diligence not to want KM around for any handover - good sign that they have some judgement.13

I am very disappointed that squirrel face did not stick around to negotiate the final sale.5

Go on RD turn up for the Gills game and feel the love.9

I'm sure KM is happy to leave anyway, she's got "CEO of a Football Club" on her cv, and no doubt will be very good at bullsh*tting away at job interviews about what a great job she didsm said:Would suggest to me that the new owners saw enough during the due diligence not to want KM around for any handover - good sign that they have some judgement.

Some people, and a certain fanzine, mocked the "When it's on the Official Site" mantra but yet again it proves it's validity.LargeAddick said:a few on here 'in the know' and yet KM's resignation has not been mentioned at all. Are they as 'in the know' as they/we believe?
No one had this before the OS.

Oh hell yeah. Please be correct now!cafcwill said:Can't have this drop to the second page
From past experience:
Poor performance(s)
+
Strong Takeover rumours
=
Takeover happening very soon
When jimerez and co took over were had really bad form in league one
When Roland took over we were struggling in Championship
We are now in a bit of really bad form (and injuries) and takeovers are being strongly rumoured
Just hoping the pattern continues
Please Please Please0 -
'Now likely that the club will change ownership'....from the horse's mouth...that's good enough for me.
I feel a big celebration is just around the corner!1 -

Don't know if there's any new info or if it's just a rehash, but this one's suggesting it's the Aussies.

Well I know Jim White was in touch with Duchatelet some time ago because he did quite a lot of shows involving us and had Meire on to explain herself. Therefore it's probably the case that White text Roland to see if he could get some inside info and received the text in response. I believe RD did send White a text that he read out on the show around the same time, so it's quite credible IMO.ShootersHillGuru said:

Remember where you heard it first!Stig said:With the news that he's spend €4m on a farm to convert, he's going to want to cut his losses somewhere else. He'll also need to find 2% of his time for his Basil Fawlty work. Plus of course, no-one in their right mind would want to start such a public facing and easy to find business as a hotel when they still had so many enemies at large, it would be far to easy a target.
To me this all adds up to one thing: the fact that he's going.

Well he's known for attention seeking, but didn't he get on well with both RD and KM when he was a guest or something along those lines?ShootersHillGuru said:0 -
