Seriously after the last couple of nights I've had it really couldn't get any worse, or could it....0

24th was the legally binding date to purchase the club wasn't it?
I personally, with no insider knowledge think it will be done. Just have to wait a little bit more. Alhough I really don't understand why they had to put such a specific date on it...0 -
Might be announced on the pitch vs. Southampton?0

No I don't think there was anything legally binding on the date BigRedEvil. We really mustn't get too alarmed by this delay. The 24th was the aim for date and it doesn't sound as though they've missed it by much. They've kept us as informed as they feel they can and hopefully there are just a few loose ends to tie up. Be good if the could announce on Boxing Day but if there's money to be moved around will the banks be doing it then?0

The 24th was 28 days after starting the DD
Bit like exchanging contracts on buying a house

No, and don't go hitting F5 either...0 -
I have been led to believe that the sticking point is the north stand being owned by KRBS, and that is the final piece of the jigsaw.0

KRBS? Lmao0

It was a stupid day to aim for completion by because a lot of the businesses that such a deal relies on - lawyers, football authorities etc. are going to start winding down halfway through the day, or before. Poor decision making again I'm afraid. For supporters who've been on such a roller coaster and seen one potentially club changing deal go up in smoke it was really daft not to set a date that all the parties could adhere to.0

Oh come on... Seems some will use any stick with which to beat the club.0

Supporters like Richard Murray and the rest of the current/past board you mean? Yeah, I can imagine they are really hoping this deal goes through to secure the future of the club they have invested do much time, effort and money into and are a bit disappointed that it hasn't been signed and sealed yet. But I'm sure they realise that that's how it goes sometimes, particularly when you get the sort of weather we've just had, and that there's still plenty of time to get this done.
Or were you just thinking of yourself?0 -
Alexander knaster, moscow born owner of private russian bank, net worth £800 million.
Source: family member on board of bank through a mutual friend.
God knows how reliable that is, but wanted to share0 -
Well Alexander knaster certainly has money. Now ceo of private equity firm pamplona and lives in London. Russian born but moved to USA when 15 and now an American citizen. More credible than some rumours we've heard on here.0

It would be fantastic/a bloody miracle, if the new prospective owners had genuine big money behind them.0 -
Was told last night it's the fella or company that owns the 02 arena?? It's from an insider so could be true??0

No, all of us, including the board, as you say. Personally I didn't expect it to happen, and I'm doing a Henry on this (until it's on the OS, I'm going to accept it's done).[cite]Posted By: Off_it[/cite][cite]Posted By: Mortimerician[/cite]For supporters who've been on such a roller coaster and seen one potentially club changing deal go up in smoke it was really daft not to set a date that all the parties could adhere to.

The point about it being a silly date to work towards, stands. It's not unusual to have bad weather in winter, it's not unusual for a lot of organisations not to do a full day on Xmas eve and it's really not unusual for nobody to work on Xmas day, so if they'd picked a "normal" weekday they'd be able to run over by a few hours without any drama. The context (the disappointments the supporters have faced in terms of perfromances and the last failed takeover), just make it more critical that they hit the date the change. That's all I was trying to say. I can't think of a situation in normal business where anyone would try and aim for a big deal, that was getting media attention, done on Xmas eve because of all the factors that I mentioned.0 -
like is christmas eve if it hads fallen through you would know by now even it does its hardly anbyones fault is it0
-
According to the original announcement 24th wasn't a 'target' anyway. Its was the date that the deal was 'anticipated' to be completed by. These things are always complicated and expectations change all the time. If you'd have asked me what I anticipated, it would be that what ever date was given, it would have taken a little longer. We just need to be patient.
