The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Malandro]

Which roughly translates to: wait a bit, Randy is going to sell to a rich dude

[Simba]

Yes Brother. Let's hope he can't fit through the eye of a needle.

[Ian.]

I've said before that the club's communication and PR is useless. The sooner this ignorant regime is out all the better. A great way of boosting ST sales!

And all because they're not doing exactly what you want them to do.

This is the sort of thing I hate.

I read things like Randy has to sell, I see the supporters trust say he has to sell as soon as possible. Surely though first someone has to be interested and have the finances to do so, also a buyer who is actually right for the club. It's all very well Joe Bloggs complaining that Randy is shit and has to sell. Well that's what he doing, but he can not magic a interested party out of thin air can he?

It annoys me in my town where I live. People complain that the shops are shit and there should be more choice. Well surely if they don't like it go and open your own shop and do it better if you can. These shop owners have gone out there, leased or bought the premises and have tried to make a go of it.

[Small Rodent]

We note with interest that there is no announcement.

[VillaAlways]

If a deal fell through 3 months ago that's not Randy's fault. I respect him for doing what he said he would do by telling us his intentions straight after the season finished, I liked the statement too on reflection, it was from the heart.

Regards the takeover. I am taking the complete silence and lack of activity as a positive ie that due diligence thingy is maybe happening at the moment. I just think if there wasn't a sniff of interest we'd be hearing more about plans for next season contract extensions etc

[clash city rocker]

Well what's the worse thing that can happen if there is no takeover..another season of struggle and relegation. And if we did by some miracle stay in the premiership then that would be a bonus. Let's face it the chances of someone buying us that is able and willing to put the money into the club to see us challenge the top 4 is pretty remote.

They'll be a big announcement this week peeps.

Far too many on here seem down trodden.

Start of big things....

Is that Orange or Red?

[john2710]

I doubt many people expect any new owner to put in the finances to compete with the top 4. It would be great if that happened but it won't. Personally I have no moral objection to doing it the Man City way, life's too short & you enjoy the good times while they last. Such is the state of our club at the moment I'd be very happy to be comfortably in the 6th-8th place.

In the event that Lerner can't find a buyer in the next 6-8 weeks, I would hope that he protects the club & his own investment by ensuring at least a moderate level of investment is made in new signings. Anything else will be suicide.

Haha <walks away, nothing to see here>

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Saw a rather fat unkempt man in uniform pushing things through people's letterboxes this morning.

From this I deduce that Randy has no buyer and is doing a house to house search to get someone in.

He has also disguised the details of the sale as Ukip propaganda. Very devious I thought.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Nick Mashiter on twitter says expect no news this weekend but Monday could be interesting

I suggest we all just enjoy the sunshine

[LondonBoy]

I'm hearing potential press conference on Tuesday peeps.

[Steve R]

Do you call that hope? Who on earth could find any hope in that?
