Any news on the takeover?
« on June 05, 2014, 07:02:11 pm by The Red Baron »
Now I'm gainfully employed again I don't get much chance to look at this forum in the daytime. I see there is a 14-page thread running, but that seems to have descended into the usual slanging match.

Can someone tell me whether anything has moved forward vis-a-vis the takeover? The last I heard was that there might be some news by the end of the week. Is it still just JR and LT who we know to be involved, or have other parties emerged? There seemed to be a few references to our old friend Mr Phelan on that long thread. Has his name been mentioned again (I do hope not!)

Many thanks.

Nobody knows yet - the press seems to think more news is imminent though.

Thanks. I really hope we get some clarity tomorrow. I'd rather be reading about players that we've signed than go through another round of takeover-mania.

Sad, Would I be right in assuming that your source is not aware of this forum and doesn't read it?

Further to that is he aware that you are debating it with so much vigour on here?

Ooh, are we playing Botticelli?

Does he have shares in the club that he might or might not have sold to a Belize-based hedge fund?

Sad, was the "he's aware" answer in response to this question as well?

He doesn't wear glasses,
He is 5'7''
Wears a suit and tie

am I right?  I know you are not at liberty to say! But what about the Freedom of Information Act?

What do you want me to say Stockton? I promised the bloke I wouldn't spill and I haven't but I've said more than I should if I'm honest. All will become apparent by tomorrow.

Sad I'm not asking you to name your source - I'm asking you if he is aware that you are debating the information he passed you in confidence so vigorously on the forum.

As you don't know if he's aware, do you think he would be pleased that your debating it so vigorously?
In fact lets cut to the chase - did he ask you to stir up a debate on it?
