Pull the other one. It also says it's being paid out of the amount muff are getting for Ollie, and that's nearer £250k IIRC.Compensation sum is being kept secret (There's a surprise) but the adver is suggesting 500K...................... Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:05:02 I recon £200k tops compensation, as for the collapse of the takeover, if it has then I feel it could be the beginning of the end.

As for the takeover....well what can I say?! Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:32:56 Fitton was quoted on RS this morning saying there were a few minor things that was holding up the takeover so minor even he is not sure what they are but if they are not sorted soon he may choose to walk away.
Didn't he say originally he was working to a deadline of the end of the month and if it didn't happen he would walk away.....unbelievable is this Diamandis sticking his nose in again ? Title: It's Now Officially Official!

Mr Fitton... No you will not be blamed for this delay and possible collapse, that falls fairly and squarely at the feet of the current incumbents...no one more no one less. Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Whits on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:39:32 I thought you it was going to be officially official that the takeover was complete. ARSE! :evil:

We are very frustrated and fatigued over it all at the moment", said Fitton. "They say a good deal is a quick deal and this is anything but that. I am sure I will get the blame for that. Sounds as though he knows how the current incompetents work. I'm sure he can be safe in the knowledge that it won't be us, the fans, who will be holding him responsible.

We are a laughing stock............... Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:46:58 I think Mr Fitton has come out of all this whiter than white, unlike BEST and the board have.
Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:47:44 I actually feel physically sick by it all.
Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:48:44 i wish I had Mr Fittons phone number, I would tell him how we all feel about this and get on my hands and knees and beg for the completion with him in charge.
And to reassure him that we DO NOT IN ANY WAY hold him responsible for this. Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:48:48 Sturrock's Time In Charge?!!
I don't want to see pictures of the fat cunt smiling away at us. FFS, the club really know how to annoy us. Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:51:51 I now feel un-characteristically violent.
Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: herthab on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:52:14 Remember Sturrock saying that us fans deserved to know what was going on?
Thanks for your transparency Paul. The farewell statement you gave was a nice touch too.................................... Why is the compo being kept a secret? (That's a rhetorical question by the way) Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:54:54 Because the board don't want us to know how much money they are fiddling away.
Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:56:00 I never liked Sturrock .. good manager tho Ill give him that
Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 08:56:19 Again...I dont blame Sturrock for doing what he did but the bloke is a cunt he missled us and lied to us, he is not getting a christmas card from me this year!

More like they know we would go ape shite when we found out he had gone for a tenner and a packet of pork scratchings. There's no way we would have got what he and his coaching staff are worth as we are in no position of power to negotiate. Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 10:19:34 What i don't understand is how can 500k be plan B when we owe 900k to the creditors and 1.5 mill or so the IR? :-))(

What the fuck are these bastards playing at? I'm still sniffing the air for the smell of burning shoe leather but there's not hint of it BOB! As far as I understand, the terms of the takeover were agreed and were with the legals ready to be signed last week. That is until a certain individual decided to halt proceedings because "there wasn't enough money in it for the Wills family", but then took a slightly different tack and said "there wasn't enough money it for HIM". Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: STFC Bart on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 10:27:39 Thanks Sandy Fray now we know then.
Basically because this "Individual" will not profit is the reason behind it all. Well sorry i lie the blame firmly at the Wills door for this no excuses Title: It's Now Officially Official! Post by: janaage on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 10:29:27 So now is the time for Wills Sr and Jr to grow a pair and tell the bloke to f*** off.

Two disgruntled fans loitered outside the reception area hoping to catch one last glimpse of Sturrock before his departure was made public. Shouting abuse up to the office windows to anyone who would listen, :mrgreen: any takers ? Title: It's Now Officially Official!
