I'm convinced it will either happen or it won't.

I've had that confirmed by numerous sources as well.

I'm going to stake my pocket money on there not being a takeover by September 1st.

Well if we're getting taken over soon the club has done a hell of a job keeping it secret. Not even a sniff in the press.

Which is precisely the reason I think it'll happen soon, and with absolutely no indication it is happening.

No news is good news.

Exactly my opinion, I just can't believe that 4 1/2 weeks of no news would've happened without there being an NDA involved.

Everyone involved in this deal will be NDAed up to the eyeballs. I've noticed that even in my line of work in recent years - the increasing unwillingness of anyone to talk about anything of even slight financial value without NDAs in place.

Around Tea time, 4 pm...according  a copy of a Memo stating this, that was doing the rounds recently, signed īTomī.  Unless it was a spoof.  .........Godzvilla!

Yep, we get the same, especially if there are Americans involved.  I don't know if it's that they want to have the PR event of a release day or if it's to protect the negotiations but every tender we work on with the US has NDA clauses all through it.

The takeover rumour was made up so we all bought season tickets.

Yeah that makes sense.

I don't think it was made up, but the exclusivity thing was never more than an unsubstantiated rumour. I believe there was/ is interest but don't think come the start of the season we will have been sold. There would be more knowledge about it if we were.
