The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Toronto Villa]

The Sunday People are linking us with a takeover by American billionaires David Blitzed and Josh Harris.

Nixon and Moxley joint article. Double the possible credibility, double the possible bollocks. Let's hope the former. It would be nice to see some positive movement on the sale.

Moxley makes it more credible, Nixon makes it less.

It's a zero sum game.

Slight tangent but I am amazed the Sunday People still exists. Do people still go out of their way to part with actual cash for that on a Sunday morning?

I do some voluntary work among senior citizens, and most of them like to purchase some rag or other at the weekend for the weekly TV Guide. For example, The Daily Heil's used to be on Friday, but now is on Saturday. 

So I would not be surprised if people are still getting it for this reason, or the puzzles or coupons or some such. Set in their ways, they are. Don't want to be bothered with digital EPGs, streaming and all that gobbledygook.

The People built a readership by being less right wing than the News of the World like the Despatch was less of a tory propaganda vehicle than the Birmingham Mail and the Gazette compared with the Birmingham Post.

My mom buys the Daily Mail every day for the crossword only. Why she gets it on a Sunday I have no idea as it never has the crossword in it. She is a creature of habit though.

I have my elderly in-laws staying with us this weekend and I have been a little baffled by all the papers they buy. Even yesterday's Guardian which I would have thought I might have been able to get five minutes use out of was a pile of shit. Were the weekend newspapers this bad before the internet? I seem to remember I used to quite like them.

Not seen this posted elsewhere.  It contains some brief quotes from "Football finance expert Peter Knowles", whoever he is.

Wasn't he the former Wolves winger that jacked it all in to sell Watchtower?

No that was Prince.

It would be nice to get Blitzed in the directors box rather than on the pitch.

They specialise in "distressed companies". We should fit the bill then.

what? Randy is a responsible custodian of our club, he'd never let us get in that state.

I'm sure he'll do his very best until the day the club is sold.

[TheEgo]

I'm the mirror too. Although isn't Nixon from the mirror? Mosley has said on Twitter this morning the club are still saying no negations and Nixon working on this.

[Steve67]

Jeez, what a mess. We have a club that the owner doesn't want. A Manager that the fans don't want. Players still at the club that the Manager doesn't want. What can possibly go wrong?!!
