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...

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....

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

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...

SouthDownsRoyal Three people hoping tomorrow is the day


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.

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

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

But exclusivity must therefore be close. It's only the first step and there is plenty of process to go through after this point. So this contravenes nothing James Earnshaw has reported, only the ITKs claiming "done deal". What a surprise. There's still a route to exclusivity and bridging ...

Hobnob could sponsor a player for £1k and IR could write the hand delivered letter.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The planning condition isn't the barrier people think it is, but it obviously adds a lot more risk for a purchaser who is trying to do something that is likely to attract significant local and political opposition (plus an inevitable 1-2 years worth of delays through the planning/appeal/possibly ca...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Earnshaw is the only one who can be trusted. You'd think the ITKs would have learned by now that Dai is unpredictable and whatever their contacts have heard, it means next to nothing. The ITKs on Twitter are oxf*rd laughable. I have not seen most of them post anything before. Some now claiming ther...

Stranded Earnshaw tweeting that there are no meetings today, understands the offers are just with Dai and his people to make a decision.

So don't hold your breath.


I think we all know how this will end. Radio silence for a few weeks and then takeover talks have collapsed.

Latest rumour of that there twitter is that Zygi and Mark Wilf - owners of the Minnesota Vikings were one of the 3 bidders.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Admin are very quiet today. I can’t help but think it’ll be like this all week and then on Friday Earnshaw will announce that all parties have walked away from discussions. Actually, maybe for once we’ll get good news.
