The Adver has learnt that the Football League required paperwork to be re-submitted by the Robins, which held the takeover process up recently

*Conspiracy alert*

So the Football League's fax machine was broken, and subsequently we've lost our manager.

No, you've got it wrong.

Jed fucked it up on purpose because he wanted to push Paolo out. FACT!

So after all the mocking Bob Holt was right, buying a club is much like buying a house, full of red tape than at the last minute someone loses the paperwork and you have to send it all again!

Di canio didn't quit over the takeover alone. It's a number of issues. Wray was on talk sport last night and said as much as that.

No, that's been disproved because Jed twittered it. Fact.

The point was that the sequence of events as portrayed in the media and via PDC are that the club didn't exactly bend over backwards to keep him. That they acted unprofessionally by not informing him of a player sale, that the lines of communication between old/new owners and PDC have been cut.

Its not fact, its one side of a story. But it is a conclusion that could be reached from it. One of many conclusions. Any of them could be right, wrong, or somewhere inbetween.

But if it makes you feel intellectually superior to label us as thisis mongs knock yourself out.

You put up a FB status about not being able to judge yet, although you are doing exactly that"

What exactly makes you thing they did not try to bend backwards to keep him happy?

What part of their negotiations, and there were negotiations, were you not happy with? By all accounts it appeared that the meeting went very well so what more could they have possibly done?

PDC himself said he agreed to stay so what more than that could the board be expected to do?

It's not a matter of feeling intellectually superior at all. It's a simple understanding that we know fuck all and are therefore in no position to make wild assumptions but if you do want to act like a mong Batch then be my guest.

You put up a status on FB about not being in a position to judge yet you are doing exactly that.

Flasheart, you speculate the same as anyone else and make judgements like those you criticise. You slated di canio for quitting due to the takeover not being completed yet, but it is for far more than that. You're as mongy as the rest of us.

I criticised PDC according to what he said himself. Others are judging the new lot based on guesswork.

Arriba, I agree with you when you say we just have to wait and see and that their actions will truly tell who they are. Let's wait for them to get started first, innit.

he said there were a number of broken promises which shows he quit for more than a delay in the takeover.

Personally I don't want the lot in waiting to take over.Id rather start from scratch.

This new lot could be the best thing to ever happen to the club. There's another two or three members of the consortium to be revealed yet and one, or all, of those could turn out to be stinking filthy rich and willing to use it.

They could also be the worst thing ever for us and their first action could be selling Ferry, Wes and anything else that isn't bolted down.

We just don't know. We wouldn't know if it was a different consortium either.
