    Lets not get worked up about him not selling - all is going in line with what I was told after relegation - and what I said on here - 2 seasons to get us back up but a sale regardless after those 2 years - seen nothing to think that isn't going to be the case

    Can you point to the post where you said this two years ago?
    It'll be there somewhere - around the summer everyone was rounding on me coz i said there had been a change in strategy, ditching of the network idea to try and get promoted, and I was told I was a beard or something by cardigan boy who was adamant there was no change.
    So you spotted they had appointed a British manager and signed British players, which was obvious to everyone? The problem was that they were useless at that too, which some people couldn’t grasp.
    You've definitely become more prickly after the last year of printing dud info but don't start on me - it was cardigan claiming no change in strategy yet here we are on the verge of the play offs with no network players, another British manager and a British scouting set up - of course, he could have thrown more money at it last year and this ideally but only the most pig headed would argue no change in strategy since relegation
    Current circumstances are down to luck, not design.

    There's no way Duchâtelet won't still be owner next season.

    double negative or just bad use of the English language. I'm not sure if you mean that that there is no way that he will still be the owner next season or that there is no way that he will not be the owner next season.

    Fwiw I still think he'll be gone by the summer - when exactly who knows. I suspect (as many people have pointed out recently) that he is still waiting to see which division we will be in, even though that can be factored in to any purchase price.

    I blame Bowyer. If he had been like all the rest of our managers under RD then we would be comfortably in mid table, no threat of making the play-offs & therefore would have been sold by now. To be fair, KR did his bit & tried to get the takeover done by end of March but then RD saw through his tactic (like we & all the other opposition mangers did :smile: ) and replaced him.

    Nobody did argue that, but the management set-up remained incompetent as the accounts and the league table set out in vivid detail. This season has been marginally better but the main reason is the further unwinding of any Belgian influence on the football side. One central plank (I use the word advisedly) remained unchanged - too much reliance on too many inexperienced young players.

    I hope we do go up but that is by no means guaranteed and finishing fifth or sixth after the vast amounts of money spent by L1 standards remains a poor overall performance.
    trust me, there were plenty who argued there was no change in strategy - the cardigan and his groupies for sure - we even had a debate about what the word strategy meant and goonerhater in the post above - it was clear to those without their head up their arse that the plan had failed, strategy changed to try and get back up and i was told that he would give it two years to do that and then sell up and that is exactly what is happening

    u can't have it both ways - i said i felt he would sell once the division we are to be in is known and that is argued against and now others say i said he wasn't selling - he has always been selling since relegation but it was never happening last october - 2 years post relegation and then off - and so it will be proved

    Pretend you haven't changed your stance on the issue as much as you like. You seriously should consider a career in politics. Plausible denial attempts and no shame, you're a natural.

    Reported earlier this week, on other forums, that today will be the day and for us to keep our eyes and ears open and look out for the news! On CL we have the ongoing I said this - you said that argument raging, yet no news on any takeover happening today. Therefore in summary I would suggest that we all just concentrate on tomorrows game, leave the in-fighting on here to those involved, not look for news elsewhere and wait for something to happen, sometime in the future (or not), and try to enjoy the final 2 matches.
    After more than a year since this thread was started there have been too many false dawns, false hopes and if you include Murray - 'fake news'. Que Serra, Serra!!

    Not sure if this has been posted amongst the UEFA regulation chat and boring arguments, but the takeover was mentioned on yesterday’s Guardian Football Weekly podcast.

    Barry Glendenning recently returned from a trip to Australia and said he had heard over there that the takeover happening ‘any minute’. Also said he was told that Steve Waugh was involved in the bid.

    Only if he received what he thought was an acceptable bid.

    Had someone bid £40-50m in December he’d have probably sold back then as well.

    Wow, takeover news on the takeover site. Didn’t see that coming!

    Interesting. Steve Waugh doesn’t like losing! Thanks for posting.

    And now I pass you back to another episode of “He says, She says “.

    Steve Waugh's name is a bit random.

    It would certainly make the directors box more interesting with him up there sledging the opponents

    Will he still be wearing his old baggy green and have a red hankie in his pocket? Steve Waugh not the prettiest stroke maker but a batsman that could always be relied on to deliver the goods.

    It's not all about you mate.

    Quite some time ago it was reported that RD was giving up on his football experiment. It wasn't even all about us.

    No-one really cares who said what when, and to whom. We just want the club sold, and then we can all hold hands and sing songs around the camp fire.

    And by the way, it'll be sold on May 9th ;-)
