Re: Have your go at being ITK

I am hearing that Dai wants to convert the SCL into a dog racing track and a speedway stadium. Also , he’s planning to build a mini Las Vegas on the land around the stadium as he wants his own casino.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The last 2 tweets from the club have been another reminder about the mini season tickets, along with the fan store being open over Easter. I appreciate this is just marketing, but it’s the usual rinse repeat comms/process whenever we’re supposedly close to exclusivity. I am just waiting for the talk...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I really appreciate what SCL and other sponsors have done this year, but it does allow more procrastination. 7 days ago, my working assumption was we'd either have exclusivity and funding, or we'd be in arrears with HMRC which would mean 2 points deducted and a step closer to the endgame. Turns out...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Earnshaw is back from his holiday tomorrow so it’ll be interesting to see if he has any further updates about the pretend takeover.

On another note, I see over £1,300 has been raised for the Ruben flag, so we might get to see that for the last two home games.

Re: Have your go at being ITK

No exclusivity announcement and the season will end with confirmation that takeover talks have collapsed. Whether we can start the 2024/25 season will become a hot topic on HNA.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I hope more than anything I am wrong, but I think we’ll get to 2 April with no news. The club will go silent apart from the usual tweets from admin and in the middle of April news will slowly filter out confirming that takeover talks have collapsed. I don’t trust Dai to sell the club.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Being owned by anyone other than Dai can only be a good thing; obviously, if we get bought by someone (or some organisation) and they continually fail to pay HMRC, pay bills or pay wages, who look to asset strip the club of its value and take us to the very brink of extinction, then maybe we can sa...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

As short term as it may be, I think we are mostly all on the same page - if whatever group comes in passes the low bar tests and then just keeps us ticking over and invests, wisely, in the team/club then fine. The alternative doesn't really bare thinking about. If you speak to Wigan fans, Al Hammad...

blythspartan The club are plugging the mini season tickets again so it doesn’t bode well.


Err - it would be a massively dysfunctional marketing department if you create an offer and publisize it once and only once. It means nothing beyond marketing.


Yep agree, I am being a Pratt.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

So losing half of your income wouldn't leave you feeling a bit stressed GWL? Keeping in mind that the 28 year old footballer probably has 4 or 5 years left of earning well before their career ends. I doubt many lower league players waltz into lucrative salaries after they retire just as the rest of...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Really 72? You don't think the pressure of not knowing if you're going to get paid from month to month or even if you'll have a job come the end of the season doesn't affect the players and their families? Oh but football players get paid sooo much, so they are excempt from these worries of course....

Just getting ready for the meLOLtdown when nothing is officially announced by the club today/tomorrow or over the weekend. Yes, we have been here before. Earnshaw’s 24 to 48 hours expired yesterday. Tbf, he tweeted something last night and mentioned he’s now on holiday until Tuesday. Funnily enough...

Sadly, there’s probably more chance of 13 people being right.

I am in block FU1 and I’m working up in Chesterfield over Easter so I am planning my train journey. I think Horwich Parkway is the closest station.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The interview given by Daniel Loitz to Sky Germany doesn’t sound good. However, he appears to be another William Storey character. If he’s telling the truth we’re oxf*rd.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Once exclusivity has been agreed can Dai change his mind or can the buyers withdraw their offer and walk away?
