    I reckon the announcement will be made on page 666 ( pretty apt for the old devil to piss off then ). So come on everyone get posting.

    Some of you remind me of going on holiday with the kids, when they were small...

    "Are we there yet?"
    "Are we there yet?"
    "Are we there yet?"
    "Are we there yet?"
    "Are we there yet?"
    "Are we there yet?"...

    Yeah I know, fuckin murder ain't they....

    According to the Standard tonight a takeover announcement is 'imminent'

    Where's that Large? Can't seem to find it...
    It's there. Are they taking the piss by using 'imminent' though?

    Why did you take nearly a year to get to your destination ?
    Did you go by tandem to Australia ?

    If these new owners march in and get rid of Bowyer and install Kewell I shall start a one man protest by chaining myself to the Sam Bartram statue and removing the bust of Jimmy Seed from the boardroom. Man has to be given a chance. Spirit is everything. It's very difficult to create, and very easy to destroy.
    Who's with me @Henryirving2 ?

    [Oops wrong thread]

    Jumping the gun a bit there James
    Joking apart, it'll be tricky decision, if they do want to bring Kewell in. They may not want to of course.
    In fact they might not even be Australian

    This all seems a bit of an unnecessary debate.

    I've no idea what protest CARD had planned for next Monday, but its clear that its either not going to happen (as one of their organisers has basically stated on the previous page), or its not a protest that would need numbers as they can patently see that the widespread support for it just isn't there.

    You could argue back and forth on whether there was any value in announcing a return to protesting in the first place, but this isn't really at this point in time any benefit in getting tied up with periphery side issues.

    Disagree.

    This has everything to do with the sale of the Club and the fans intent to encourage the owner to make it happen sooner rather than later.

    Or is our only outlet to vent our frustrations about the ownership on a message board?
    Did someone say vol-au-vent?

    I'm so upset, Katrien has not returned any of my calls since December.

    We were best friends.

    I usually just put them in the boot on long journeys, can barely hear them from there, especially with some loud DnB blaring from the speakers.

    Chants of support the team not the regime would offer that wouldn't they?

    All well and good chanting that, but last time I was at the ground and heard one of those chants it was interrupted by some people giving dogs abuse to our own player for misplacing a pass!
    Hopefully for the last time (!)

    THE TEAM IS THE REGIME

    Wins have always bolstered the regime and still do. Perhaps after Saturday Roland is holding on for up turn in results.

    No one there and team losing was always best way to get rid of him.

    I honestly can’t take anymore.

    Will be checking into rehab in the morning so won’t be on here for a while.

    Imagine the irony if the Football League suddenly decided to step up their processes and the new owners failed the revamped fit and proper persons test, leaving us with Roland forever. I think even we'd have to laugh at that.

    I would like to know where "Monday" came from as the day, cos I think I'm right in saying that the reports said "early next week", so that could potentially be up to midday on Wednesday...?

    I’m not having that. Midday Wednesday would be “middle of next week” “early next week would be by Tuesday evening.
