I mean in terms of statements from the board, it's what, nearly 6.30 now and nothing at all on Sturrock or the take over. What have they done? Just packed up for the day and gone home whilst us peasants are left looking for scraps of information?

Yep.

Probably won't get anything until tomorrow morning now.

Maybe they are working on the takeover to finalise it today so its bad and good news???? soften the blow or am I just being optimistic?

They will put statements out over night and will be on the OS when we wake up tomorrow

crikey, you weren't expecting a slick PR machine were you?!

Optimistic/Unrealistic both come hand-in-hand mate

Are you surprised about getting no statement? this is the board we are talking about, no news is bad news with STFC, i'd put money on it that this takeover will collapse.

umm, far be it for me to go all doom and gloom but were any of you guys actually expecting a statement.

I sure as hell wasnt, we've heard all this before and we've been strung along and fucked around. I believe none of it.

Still someone there .... it just said Williams to return to action, but that disappeared????

Jeeeeeeeesus and you still believe it's going to happen!? i admire your optimism.

The person I spoke to Friday stated that it was still going ahead.

If it does collapse this is going to get very fucking nasty !!!

They have been warned !

I hope so. I want to wake up feeling assured that we have a brighter future for this club even if Sturrock has gone.

Loads of people I have spoken to etc said it would go through today so I was confident it would go through later today BUT..... its getting very close to the 11th hour.

It will only concentrate on Sturrocks exit I think Rich

ohhhhhhhhh new picture of Willams, thought the headline said "caretaker lines up Cheltenham return"

Still there:

Great. So much for todays completion then  :roll: Oh well. I think we all know we are as good as fucked anyway  :(

Oh and Rich

Change your avatar mate

The club is a disgrace for not keeping the fans informed today,oh i forgot thats not unusual at our club is it :suicide:

Fuck i almost forgot i had it. Cheers Fred  :mrgreen:

:mrgreen:

Do Thorne have a logo rich? You should use that. If not I'll design you one. Basically it would be like the Amnesty international one but instead of a candle a T, and then just paint the barb wire green so it looks like thorns. Then all you have to do is but horne at the end. Easy.

All done now. A little bit of Ricky to lighten the mood.

Thats ace Ben

Yes we do Ben. Cheers for the offer though  :D

At least the G and H are giving it out ...

Fair play to the Gazette and Herald. I can only assume that nothing is on the O.S because he has yet to agree terms with Plymouth officially, until such time he is still technically our manager and therefore nothing to report about a move? Could atleast mention permission was given like they did with Wise though.

Banbury on thisis ... no word from bape, perhaps unsurprisingly

I am not confident at all regarding this takeover and it would not surprise me one little bit if it fell through, this board wrecks everything especially the good things and they probably still don't have any intention of selling up.

If it collapses it is the end for STFC.


Conflicting views but maybe we have seen the last of Bape. (I hope not).
I have this fear of Plan B being compensation and a gamble on a Cup run.
Coupled with off loading players in January. This is pure speculation though. The end on the Month will no doubt be when all the cards will be on the table.

Fitton may need our support and help to get the message across. Don't underestimate the cornered Rat. I think the takeover will go through as the Club (Board) have run out of time. With these lot in charge I hate the fact that they are blinded by pure greed and anything is possible in that quest.

Lets hope someone is going to get payback time very soon.

If Sturrock is the casualty and we get our Club back then it is still a small price to pay.

Sturrock is no different to Wise................the common denominator remains (for now).

No news from official site but this on Swindon Web......
Swindon Town are looking for a new manager.
 
 
As expected, Paul Sturrock resigned today to take up the manager's position at Plymouth Argyle.
 
It is understood club captain Ady Williams and Youth Team coach Dave Bryne have been put in temporary charge of team affairs.
 
A press conference has been arranged for Tuesday morning.
More to follow…
 

 GOT AN OPINION ON THIS STORY?

Someone on thisis called monkey has said that the takeover was completed today after Sturrock left, his source apparently is Clive Maguire, I'll believe it when i see it.

Wait and see. People on this is seem to think they are all in the know. Funny how they are  wrong 99% of the time  :-))(

I called on Sherlock Manatee tonight

Everytime I call him up he gets a bit more zombified. It's a shame, he's good company. But a few more call ups and his brain will have rotted away into insanity.

He has it on good authority from a White Rabbit...

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/wrab.jpg

...that the takeover is not yet complete.

Yeah i agree, it's probably more bullshit, he said it will be announced tomorrow, i'd bet that it is more crap.

Yeah just like that Bape buy (who supposidly is always right  :roll: )
said it would be announced today.

I remember someone saying that there would be good and bad news today, where's the good news soapy tit wank.

He's disappeared off the face of the planet, he must have been very close to Sturrock, well according to people on there anyway.

That's quite possible. He seemed certain Luggy would go at the back end of last week.

the statment will be somethign the lines of. "its all ok, we have plan z"

:tea:

 :porn:

Much better.

**Bump.

I know that I bumped my own post, but...... Deja Vu anyone???

I get the impression that if this takeover was really going to get done it would have been done a long time ago or at least by today, i have got a bad feeling.
