I haven't got a clue who it is tbh. Not really that bothered about it, this has dragged on for far too long.

PS - Is no one else even a little worried about tomorrow, the official deadline for the takeover to be completed? I know I am. I can't help but feel another "we're not quite there yet, should all be done by 31 Jan - don't worry" kind of statement will be released.
In a word yes. Though in the absence of bad news I am still strangely calm about the whole thing. Worried but calm. It'll probably drag on into next week, just because we're Swindon and it always does. But strangely I've also picked up Batch's zen-like calm on it (well, zen-like for me anyway). By the way surely this must qualify as most pointless thread of the week? |

Not until I start the 'I don't know who the investor is and I don't care that much as long as he spends it all on us' thread. |

I see certain things as calming factors though;
Bidding for Cox
Acting on loan targets with the view the embargo will be lifted
Two things that wouldnt be happening if the takeover wasn't going to go through.

If Fitton et al want to takeover they'll make it happen. If they want to fanny around until the end of the month then Fitton is not as clever a businessman as he makes out to be.

A couple of points about investors - 1. just because they are worth x billion doesn't guarentee much of it will head STFC's way 2. The last thing we want is names being released during the transfer window as we'll get mugged off by clubs upping the price on anyone we want to buy/loan. So I don't want to know his fecking name  |
