Black : Things are very fragile, no further comment to make....

Followed on to say that if it wasn't done and dusted soon then we will have to sell players.

Thought that was Shaun Hodgetts summarising what had already been reported earlier rather than a direct quote of his most recent chat with Black? But must confess I was distracted so only half caught it

Don't really see how that's going to work. Player(s) still have to want to go, agree personal terms don't they?

Cutting it fine to go down the sell players route.

[Bob's Orange]

Transfer window closes on Thursday. Pdc going to go apoplectic if he has to sell players I guess.

[Batch]

No idea what's going on (regarding PDCs interview). But he still thinks he can strength squad ***IF*** takeover goes ahead. IF IF IF..We'll know by the Crawley game either way!

Black : Things are very fragile, no further comment to make....

No concern in that for me. Rarely does an acquisition go completely smoothly. I've seen some comical tactics on far larger processes than this. In any event, Black has zero incentive to say it is going well (says to bidders that they're being soft), and every incentive to say it's fragile (suggests som remaining issues are deal breakers, regardless of whether they really are.)

I know black has been trying to sell the club since last summer but this just stinks of complete desperation now.

[Ardiles]

A point's a point, but that was frustrating.  Rarely have I seen us dominate for such long periods without scoring.  McCormack was a rock; linked very effectively with De Vita.  Disappointed with Williams tonight.  And Gary Roberts...what can I say?  Something not right there.  Looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights.  Hope he sorts himself out soon.

The PDC rant:
- If you don't put in quality you dont score
- Very disappointed
- Step backwards w/r/t desire shown
- We weren't effective. Too much tippy-tappy
- Looked like we were in the beginning of the year
- If it hadn't been for Wes we would have lost
- Disappointed with several players. He will talk to them later
- Collins, Williams and Martin all went blurry infront of goals
- The subs were very bad
- PDC blames himself for their poor performance
- Will make his decision on whether to stretch squad or drop people in favour of youngsters
- Not a dangerous situation but he smells something he doesnt like. Would prefer to play players with desire. Some individual situations that he doesnt like.
- Too angry to say which players he might bring in
- Thanks to Wes tonight.
- For a group of players who say they can push on this was unacceptable
- Devera re occurrence of hamstring
- Happy with Miller, Ferry, Ritchie and McCormack
- Doesnt know anything new about take over. Going to get on the coach and find out
- PDC always positive, but is negative now because he is angry at performance
- Needs to know which direction he has to run with with the club
- Would like to keep the feel good factor in the club where fans travel and can celebrate
- Thinks he can get players in before windows close
- Have to make sure that we have competition for places. Needs more cover at the back. Wasn't happy with the way Flint played
- Talked about possibility of 2 or 3 new players
- Before Crawley we will know much more
- Main priority to give stability to the club

I wonder why he bought us, excuse my logic, but we were never going to be a money spinner, is he shocked by that?

[Nomoreheroes]

PDC time.....erm......over to you NMH..

Is that OK?

[Batch]

Is that OK?

Very good thanks, though my inner voice has taken to reading your notes with an Italian accent.

[Dostoyevsky]

Cheers NOMORE HEROES, appreciated. Did Paolo seem happily accepting of the point, the tone of his voice?

That's not a quote from him that's BBC saying it's obvious that if the funding doesn't come in that swindon need to sell assets.
That's not a direct quote from Black from my understanding
