So what do you reckon then, will it be a five minute job or a two hour marathan? All parties to leave after hostility? Or will peace be achieved? Will the board listen to Bill's offer?

Still think Kofi Annan should be there as a peacekeeper.

anything could happen and probably will!

waiting with baited breath for the statement fest that will invariably follow.

Its a bunch of lawyers meeting as far as I'm aware so they will probablly drag it out til 10.30 tonight at £200 an hour

Basically, they will piss Bill off even more i would imagine

Sack the board

I suspect that the board may try to but Bill Power off today.

Clearly the board (not necessarily the majority shareholder) do not want to relinquish control of the club, there’s a vested interest at stake and being realistic a lot of them are going to end up losing their job if the consortium’s offer is ever accepted.

If I were in their position the priority is to remove Power and effectively kill the credibility of the consortium.  The omission of Mike Wilkes and the leading comments on the radio the other day lead me to suspect this could be their next move.

Return of his shareholding or perhaps an offer of a return plus a stake of the profits from any theoretical ‘stadium’ development?

Cue  mass demonstrations then i hope

Power to the fans

I will try an keep an open mind about tings, but I suspect deep down that the meeting will be an expensive waste of time.

I hope I am wrong.

I'm sure that stfc will go along and want to discuss Bill's "shareholding" and then when it comes to discussing the takeover Mr Diamandis will tell Bill & Phil to forget the idea as he is not selling to anyone that has links to supporters.

Cue mass demonstrations on Sat after the game.

Bill and Phil will be there PM, fact!  (As OST says)

I was led to believe that lawyers and club reps will be there too.

how? :roll:

I'd love to be a 'fly on the wall'. I wonder if it will get heated...

10 minutes until kick off, i'm getting nervous

Indeed DV perhaps the most pointless chant in football? I guess 'boycott the corporate activities of a sports marketing company' doesn't quite sound like as good a chant?

When will the details of whats gone on in this meeting come out?

I expect a statement tonight to completely overshadow what is an important game.

I dread to think what the statement will say...

I dont think it will be tonight

Unless of course there has been one prepared in advance   :wink:

Good question, you should have added "Should we believe a word the current board's statement will say" :soapy tit wank:  :soapy tit wank:

Or more likely, "would you believe a single word they say no matter what the outcome?"

I can't see there being any press release tonight before or after the game regardless of the outcome of the meeting.....expect one early doors tomorrow though!

I hope it all goes well for the consortium though as we need to see some light at the end of the tunnel

Tomorrow afternoon at the earliest I should imagine, although if a board member attends tonights game and Radio Swindon see them maybe we'll get a little taster of how it went.

Surely they have to let us concentrate on the game and they reflect on the game before getting all political on our asses.

Board member.... Peterborough.... Tuesday night

You're having a fucking laugh!

Bowden was at Palace though Sam

So was MikeD

He nearly pimped me over on the old zebra crossing

Any news of how the meeting went today Fred?

Sorry mate

Just got back in from London and been "off the radar" since about 10 am.

Going to have a bath then make some calls

Hopefully we will hear something soon regarding what happened today, i think we are all eager to know something.

Nothing coming out yet

Rightly

Hopefully something will come out tomorrow, the board will probably release a unprofessional bollocks statement tomorrow no doubt.

No News is good News at this point.

I'd rather we heard nothing until something is sorted out either way. All these tit for tat statements seem to do is send the forums in to speculation overdrive.

wait till 4:59PM thats my guess anyway

According to the Adver, discussions were 'cordial' and another meeting lined up next week

cool. thats positive is it not?

very positive

better than "fuck off you QPR supporting cunt, we arent selling you our club"!!!! :mrgreen:

Always knew that this will be a long process, but at least they are sitting down and talking now

STA sounds like you were a fly on the wall, now where did you hide those bugs?

no bugs... I was hiding behind the spider plant in the corner
