I thought he was commenting on 'what ifs' rather than any tangable doubts

I hope that's all it is, but as this whole saga unfolds I fear the worst.
DoB has given us some positivity with his optimism and I have taken his word that things are going well and in the right direction. For him to then declare if ir doesn't go through we're finished I took that as there is a potential stumbling block. Pessimist in me sets off alarm bells at the thought of this going south.

Can we ban the acronym ITK please? It’s pretty clear throughout this process the only people giving us concrete info are the trust members on here.

Is it though? 2 or 3 days ago it was all imminent and to me that's as close to immediate as your going to get.
Duke has given us snippets in the past that have come to fruition so he does have some inside knowledge. However if it upsets you I'll no longer use the term  "ITK" and only listen to the trust.  Thumb

Of course there are potential stumbling blocks. There always is, but that does not mean there's going to be a problem.

It's Saturday. Stop looking for things to worry about and have a beer and/or shag the misses or something.

I've got a chip butty going and then I'm going to start demolishing a bottle of gin.

It was slightly tongue in cheek. I need to lighten up. My point is all we are waiting for is the EFL and it’s suddenly hit me that there’s no point thinking about anything else until that comes to its conclusion.
The trust have access to the lawyers. Others do not.

As Flash has stated above, we all need to try and relax but this could be the end for the foreseeable future if this doesn't work out. I can't forge an allegiance to another team and not having Saturdays for football is numb.
I cannot commit to attending every game due to working alternate weekends and weekday fixtures are a twat to get to after work due to travel times, but in order to help the club out I will buy a season ticket, the first for 20 years.

Clem spoke to me in a dream last night.

The scenario was a pre-season friendly v The Pox and for some reason I was dressed in a Pox kit (unclean! unclean!). No one knew if the game was on but we trudged towards the pitch, which was at the end of a grassy track rutted with tractor tracks and through a farm gate.

Clem turned to me and said: “The first thing I’m going to do is gravel the driveway.”

I’m taking this to mean that Clem will successfully take ownership but we should temper our expectations for grand plans and ambitious projects.

I fully expect Clem to prioritise things and sincerely hope the dodgy scoreboard and ropy PA system is top of the pile 😂

Fair play to you, if only it was that easy..
I live too far from Swindon and it was too long ago to have any real contacts or links to the town. My experience is from my trips to town to watch the football, then my mate from work who's cousin became the manager (Sheridan)  was excited but became very gutted, he knew very little about the ongoing shite but knew his uncle was hated and he said his uncle hated the hierarchy and where the club was going but told to crack on. I'm not defending Sheridan but he was told who and how to play. I know Power will stop at nothing to save his own skin and make a quick buck. Sheridan knew we were getting relegated and could do nothng about it because he had orders. Now I'm not saying Power enforced relegation but he knew we were going down months before it happened.
Hence why I'm sceptical and pessimistic about this takeover.

I said/asked that to my mate, he said why would you when you're guarranteed a wage for just doing as you're told. I don't know how much of this is true or fluffed up but it all rings true and went the way he said it would.
