Takeover

[horlock07]

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

It is indeed, we are all going to die someday

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.

Good to see you are waiting our new owners intentions with an open mind

I also noticed that big J retweeted over the weekend from some 'casuals' twitter account that he must follow..
(relating to the barrier to seperate Looton and 'wall fans)
Maybe our Jed is into all that, is a little bit 'andy etc etc.
Perhaps he could become our new top boy?

Tis all a bit frustrating all this waiting. No news is no news though...

This has all become so utterly ridiculous.

This state of limbo, where nobody has the slightest idea what the fuck is going on has now seemingly become the norm. I've lost count the amount of times it's been said that the takeover should be complete in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, we've nothing left to do but speculate as to how shady the new lot are going to be, how unprofessional the head of the consortium is, how much money they don't have, and how long Paolo will hang around for.

I've been desperately clinging onto the idea of it all getting done, the new lot turn out to be a decent bunch and we can get a few players in to continue our promotion push, but I'm just sick of it all.

And I'm surrounded by people who've never given a flying fuck about football all planning their trip to Wembley on Sunday.

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.

I'm not sure if this has much significance...after all James Wills hung about with a shareholding at the end of the last sale.

Apart from 1 setting up and then selling a multi-million pound business and the other having a wealthy family and money handed on a platter, I would agree that it is obvious that their business acument is comparable.

I always assumed that they kept the holding in the club as it was either that or stay at home and watch Bargain Hunt all day.

So another day passes and no white smoke rises from FL headquarters......

or he could have just retweeted a retweet of a picture that he saw

might be fun to protest against a board that fight back though :0

Perhaps Eric is the silent power behind the throne.

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.

At the outset, we were told that a couple of members of the consortium would remain anonymous, could these two be Miller and Deakin? We've been told that Deakin was not a memeber of the consortium, but we were told Diamandis wasn't a director at STFC.

We know that JedUPVC and Deakin were part of the Ordicium entity which took over Banbury...we know that Hooper and Miller worked together from the Smarmes interview.

For sure there is an element of guilty by association here, but this is our football club, it is going to be that way.

Now that would be cool

To be fair Reg they could be The Queen and Prince Phillip for all we know!

[pauld]

Or they could be Steven Vaughan and John Batchelor. Or Mike Diamandis and Bob Holt. Or any of the various dodgy (and in some cases completely fictitious) Portsmouth chancers. Any "anonymous" owners should be treated with the utmost suspicion.

I'd take her Madge, but think we've had enough Greeks for a while...
