Takeover

[Bob's Orange]

Frankly it could come in a clown suit and as long as they managed efficiently and professionally i wouldn't care.

Exactly my point.

[Valefan2]

Those of you taking what other Vale fans have said with a pinch of salt should really heed their advice.

Perry Deakin, Peter Miller, Hooper, Ameriturf....You do NOT want these people anywhere near you.

I suggest if don't want to have your club asset stripped and duped into 10 year contracts with businesses ran by friends of the scum above so they can get a kickback, you read the following

This is a tiny snapshot of what happened. The whole story is extremely long and complex.

Miller, Deakin, their associates like Hooper - SCUM.





You've been warned.

[Flashheart]

I've read all that already and cannot find anything that tells us what Hooper is supposed to have done.

This is getting silly.  It's a frustrating situation.  The NDA means no-one who knows anything can say anything about anything (incl Paolo, by the looks of it), so the fans can either (a) avoid all comment until such time as the people involved start talking substantively; or (b) base comments on what little info there is out there.  On a discussion forum, (a) isn't going to happen though.

For what it's worth, I'm not encouraged by what little I've seen of McCrory so far either.  Image does matter - and if he really can bring the levels of professionalism that we need at the same time as having (for example) a childish looking twitter profile, then great.  But I'm not encouraged right now.  But fingers crossed.

[Loobug]

I agree that image does matter, but having said that - if we all truly believed it was more important than 'delivering' results then we wouldn't have hired the manager we have right now

none of these people have been linked with the takeover except for Hooper who has been mentioned in one particular article by our local paper.

What exactly did Hooper do wrong at Port Vale? He seems to be painted as guilty by association. Not a single mention of Hooper on any of the links you posted.

Can I add what Ameriturf did too please. From the outside it looks like they agreed a deal of some sorts, then got gazumped by Blue Sky and got arsey.

Don't take this the wrong way, we want to be vigilant as we have had our fair share of leeches associated with our club previous to the outgoing regime. Its just that its not too clear what we are looking out for and clear info is not easy to find.

[Samdy Gray]

I think people need to remember that Andrew Black is retaining a significant shareholding in the club. He is certainly no mug and will not be taken for a ride by a bunch of shysters.

[TheMajorSTFC]

Worrying times for all right now, a lot of speculation and rumours and it isn't filling us with a lot of confidence. In saying that I'm giving McCrory & co the benefit of the doubt until the supposed takeover gets ratified, we hear from the 'consortium' and see where we end up the end of the season!

[kerry red]

So why still no ratification from the FL?

Could it be that, for once, they are actually looking deeply into the new owners - and presumably don't like what they see.

I said a while ago I'd happily accept a 10 point deduction if it meant actually getting 'fit and proper' persons to manage our club.

Short term pain for long term gain

[fittons_coaching_badge]

So why still no ratification from the FL?

Long weekend?  Or extended lunch break?

[horlock07]

Just some pure speculation as if you can't beat them etc...

Morshead could be quiet for a number of reasons, he could be even as I type this meeting with the new owners in an interview that outlines their philosophy for the club and the millions they plan to throw at it, the new owners could be there wads of fifties fanned out in their hands having their photograph taken Carol Smillie style.

I wouldn't want to read too much into his refusal to give an impression on the unofficial reasons for PDC not attending the interview, bear in mind that the club is the hand which feeds the local journalist and it would be pretty naieve to upset the new owners by perpetulating speculation even before they have taken over.

But then again he may have just given up on the whole STFC pantomime and instead be concentrating on the speedway.

[LittleRed]

Matt ritchie was sold to fund the club for a period of time, that time is running out!

Of course it is, that's what periods of time do. But as that period of time was (supposedly) till the end of the season, I'd suggest you put the panic button away for now

[LittleRed]

Im not panicking, my life wont change either way.
