We are likely to hear anything - The silence is defening  :?

I've spent every available minute checking the net to see if there is any news !!
Arrgghhhh !!!!

i'd be surprised if we heard anything for the rest of today, first thing tomorrow will be frenetic with news no doubt.

Nope we are all in the dark.

I expect it will be early next week one way or t'other.

It cant go on another home game, surely.

My sources tell me that we'll definitely hear something, maybe next week.

It may also be good news.

Glad I could help........................

fitton is away on business this weekend so doubt we'll hear anything until midweek at the very very earliest.

no doubt we'll get some horse manure from the board in the meantime.

Even if a deal has been struck the lawyers will take a while to put it down, then the other side need to check through, etc. So my guess would be mid-late next week.

 Nothing to stop an announcement being made early, though they are pretty worthless at the moment as nobody will believe it has happened until it happens.

Unless it goes tits up of course.

After the reports of friday from Fitton I was thinking that an anouncement would be imminent - Wishful thinking on my part :D
Maybe Fitton has decided not to say anything else unless/until the deal is signed and sealed  :-))(
I must admit to being quite optimistic after Fittons 'short' comment on Friday. :soapy tit wank:

arrrrgh!!!

He has to make his money somehow Sonic if he's going to afford to buy out the Greek  :wink:

At the moment???

And if it does go tits up, whose fault will it be this time? My money's on Rob Stiles.

soapy tit wank. Yes club statements have always been worthless!

I meant even a Fitton statement, because even though he could be 100% sincere in what he says there is always the chance of the other side scuppering it before its done and dusted.

Incidetally, back on topic:

With Mike Diamandis still involved this deal will NOT go through.

The only way for it to succeed is for him to be banished from our club.

Even despite positive talks friday i still think the rat has something up his sleeve

Let's just wait and see. What's the point in saying the deal "will NOT go through" without any proof to back up your claim.

I think 2, almost 3 failed takeovers is quite adequate proof really!

:tea:

2 out of 3 ain't bad!

Quiet here today innit!

 :tea:

Like a church ...

this lack of news is fucking killing me :|

Would you like me to make something up

I was just about to suggest that red macca, do your worst and give us some un-substantiated rumour for us all to chew over for a bit.

I have heard that Andrew Fitton has applied for a asbo against mike diamindis attending the county ground .

I have also heard that fitton was able to revive the deal after hearing that diamindis once got a 3 legged donkey pregnant while he was doing a ride across beirut,  i dont think this one is true though

Source? Until I hear it from Fritton (sic) himself I won't believe it.

Does anybody know if Fitton is back yet?

Meatloaf?

Apparently its now with the lawyers. I'm not quite sure what that means, just something I heard earlier.

Does anybody else find the silence oddly comforting?

They must know the contract off by heart after all this time - apart from the last minute additions :wink:

last second additions apparently

I wonder if this red mole guy on 606 has some dirt on diamandis? He mentions Diamandis and the Scunthorpe Star http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A29918370

no

There's a poster on football forums who mentions Scunthorpe Star as well... Might be the same bloke.

Another failed Diamandis printing enterprise?

Seems like theres one in every town.

You'd have thought he'd have moved on to another industry by now with his failure rate

No - it's a newspaper that apparently shut down in 1990.

Wonder if any of the libraries up there have got them archived? If his name is mentioned it could be something ...

Ooooo There was a woman called Carol he knew very well in those days ..

carol diamandis?

Scunthorpe Star Ltd, based in Plymouth and subject to Compulsory Liquidation in 1993.  Prev Footlaw 11 Ltd.

Could be that one?

A new company called Footlaw 60 was incorporated soon afterwards it seems and is still trading today.

Any links I wonder to the Cornish printing firm that Diamandis screwed over and got confronted by angry employees in their car park

Diamond really does have alot of history doesn't he, he seems to ruin every company he touches and gets them all liquidated.

he is a human kenwood chef. how the firk hes ever made any money is beyond me.

does diamandis have any friends? do you think he was bullied at school?

Don't confuse being involved in companies that get liquidated with not being personall succesful in a financial way.

ok i wont thanks rob :D

good good

Anymore pearls of wisdom

  I'd kept a link to a printing trade paper that had the story of Holt and Diamandis in Cornwall....it was about 3 years ago.   When the current fuss kicked off I thought it would be a tasty morsel, for us busybodies to chew on.

  To my surprise though,  although the paper still runs and has an excellent archive the Diamandis stuff has mysteriously disappeared.....more admin expenses ?

Meanwhile. it seems Fitton is back in town. From the Gazatte and Herald :

Slow progress in Town takeover
By Nick Mashiter
Comment
The Swindon Town takeover is making slow progress as final details are still to be ironed out.

Crisis talks last week look to have bought the Robins some time after buyer Andrew Fitton pulled out of the deal, citing the length of time taking to complete it as a major factor.

But the Ramsbury businessman was talked round by majority shareholder Sir Seton Wills on Friday to give the deal more time.

 Fitton said today the takeover had moved forward slowly, although would not elaborate any further.

"There are legal details which have to be resolved which perhaps the vendor had not focussed on, but they are focussed on them now," he said.

"The lawyers are working on it and they know they have to work as fast as they can.

"These transactions are not as simple as people think, it is not like going in to buy a McDonald's or a car."

5:37pm today

or a house?

fucking hell, i thought that was a joke when i read the last line...then i clicked the link :?

Re WDP..... I'm sure its been done before but what an ace name.......Nick Mashiter.


   I can't help but sing it along to the Prodigy's... Smack My Bitch Up.

Nick Mashiter sounds like a porn name

Good job his name's not Phil

Well apparently (From thisis), a friend of a friend of somebody who has a friend that works at the county ground said it may definately possibly and without a doubt probably be done, without a doubt maybe for certain perhaps on Thursday.

 :tea:

Senoir' Holt is un-nervingly quiet today innit!

 :tea:

or what happens if you try to shave your arse hair *don't try this at home kids*

Ive been told by my sauces its literally Friday or bust! long week ahead!

ewwwwwwwwwww  :soapy tit wank:

Oh Goody,
Here we go again  :roll:

Ive been told by my sauces that Ketchup is better than brown sauce and that tartare goes best with fish. And HP sucks dogs cock.

Your sauce is obviously misinformed as brown is clearly best.

Depends what with BR  :wink:

My last computers motherboard was made by Mashita

Well your source is obviously wrong then, according to the Adver AF has said that the deal is nearly complete and there is nothing for the fans to be concerned about.

On this is someone has posted that they have a works do at the CG on Saturday, but they have to wait until Thurday to know if it's still on.  He/She says that the club can't take there money until they know they can trade. (I took that to mean his/ her company won't GIVe them the money til then as the club are still taking OUR money

A friend at work has her wedding reception at the CG next year, she got a phone call the other day advising her to look for another venue.

 :o

Surely we won't have a new stadium so soon? :shock:

 :roll: The Greekinch that stole Christmas.

That'll be Nationwides, I'm going to that with my girlfriend... I think they said it's definitely on, I'm not sure though.

in fact you know what I just realised too ?  Its sort of a spoonerism of...

Shit MaNickers

surely, this can't be a real name !  Fair play to him for trying it on if its not, and commiserations if it is

I dont thinmk thats anything to do with insolvancy or winding up, its just because its a dump :D

Well, according to that philosophy the ticket office must be closed down as how can they sell tickets for Saturday if they don't know wether they can take money or not.
