I know there's nothing quite like this club.
Also don't get the McCrory haters tonight. Only feasible option to prevent big financial problems who went out of his way to achieve the sale of the club at a ridiculously quick speed is getting slated for not renegotiating a deadline imposed by a manager who isn't yet under his employ before he's able to do anything as he has no power within the club. Seems a bit daft. At least let the guy speak openly (to everyone not just nuggets of info on Twitter) and then make an educated judgement.
That's all I know.
Obviously time to call me a...

You speak sense sam.

I agreed with Sam, until I saw Jed tweeting 'You're' when he meant 'Your'.

We have to uphold some standards

No that's fair enough Sam, I won't sing his praises because of a few tweets, nor label him the devil incarnate.

But there are a few things that I'd like him to answer when he can. Bear in mind as a normal fan with no sources to ask we really know very little of the facts, whereas I'd expect the local journo to have a few more sources - so take these accordingly:)

- PDC says he has had no contact with the potential new investors. If it were me I'd be in contact with him daily - even if to say there is no news.

I note you answered somebody by saying that it would have been strange and pointless to do this. To my mind it is common courtesy that while it may not have made a difference, would have at least shown as much commitment as possible under the circumstances to keeping him at the club and keep the lines of communication open.

- I still don't understand the way Ritchie was sold. I fully appreciate it had to happen to keep the club afloat in the short/medium term. I find it strange nobody contacted PDC to let him know. The perspective new owners did allegedly agree to it after all.

These aren't questions to you, more to Jed when/if we get the opportunity...We have only heard part of PDCs side of things.

I'll suck it and see other than that.

The big question for me is that PdC or his representatives met with the new owners last week and they were quite happy to talk to him then. If he clearly signposted a deadline and it wasn't going to be hit - and they would know this - then why didn't they try and talk to him to say the deadline would not be hit instead of putting their heads in the sand. Its not difficult, is it. thats if you wanted to keep him. If you're happy for him to go then you don't contact him. Given that Jed has been on Twitter to talk to but not say anything to the fans, then you've got to go for the don't give a fuck if he walks option.
This is hardly a good start.

Sweet merciful Jesus if you really believe that then you are a plank.

I have already said I don't see why Paolo would have been obligated to keep McCoy informed but surely from the other side McCoy and co should have seen the importance of keeping PDC informed and keeping him sweet.

If you had a new editor coming in and he didn't mutter 2 words to you presumably you would be worried about your future too?

Well looking at Jed's twitter he seems to imply he did indeed try and speak to Di Canio before 5pm which makes much more sense:

To Jed: @JedMcCoy with an agreed Monday 5pm deadline conditional takeover completion - just sayin u shud've extended deadline if u want him to stay

From Jed: @TheTownEnd don't you think we tried ..??.

Apparently he (or the new owners collectively) had the power to accept the new terms that Paolo proposed (going by Paolo's statement) and he, presumably, was well aware that Paolo had set a deadline of 5 o'clock tonight. Surely, if he has any sense about him, he would have been in contact with Paolo at some point when it became clear that the takeover wasn't going to be approved by the FL in order to persuade him to prolong the deadline...? It seems a bit daft to me to let the situation that we now have happen. His response that he hasn't been officially informed of Paolo's resignation is a silly remark to make too and doesn't endear himself to the fans - it's like he couldn't give a toss.

So if I was buying your company and signed an NDA but the whole deal depended upon the say so of a third party regulator you would be happy for me to be having cosy little chats with your staff before it was agreed and signed off.

We have no ideas what has and hasn't been said, except one statement from an emotional former manager who tried to apparently resign last week, didn't roll in for 3 days them issued an ultimatum that was actually outside the control of the club!
