    Right. I’m sure last night someone posted that today was a big day with the deal going one way or the other. Who was that and was it correct ?

    Just to clarify.......I have never ever made any predictions here or elsewhere before re the takeover, as such I’m very careful what I say and write regarding the matter.
    I was told by someone I trust 100% that a decision was being made today....now, whether that will immediately be for public consumption is another matter altogether.
    I and my source didn’t discuss that......so I cannot say that any further news will be issued, only that some important decisions were to be made today.
    I hope that clears up my comments.

    they have changed Vol-au-vent case suppliers from Jus-Rol to Pidy Bouchee, savings made should cover a players wages for a season.

    A spokesman for the forum *Tom Runningshoe* has said on behalf of the owners. "The forum is not for sale, despite reaching 1000 posts of mainly drivel we believe we have the right man @i_b_b_o_r_g to lead us into the Championship, work continues with the Academy as we blood the youngsters @cantersaddick to hopefully make the grade and step up to the first team before being moved on the following month. Sadly not all the youngsters make the step up @Dazzler21 and drop out of the league or end up delivering the @News Shopper ;)

    Chocked up reading that

    thanks....

    Too many shots in the bunker for you Golfie?
    And the lake, rough and too many playing the wrong fairway thread.

    Do you want to play through ?

    J block, was soundAsa£ in the pub with you when Wednesday was said to be the day to watch this week or was Paul Elliott on a pub crawl and said a different day to different people.
    The plot thickens.

    Don't tell me you haven't heard about the famous Jimmy Two Mountains.

    Now I got your attention, does your info and J blocks dovetail in any way ?

    J said watch Wednesday, you said today.
    Have you ever passed a polygraph test ?

    This is the takeover thread and I occasionally pause to consider what it is that may not be taken over.
    We are owned by Duchatelet, and at the moment we are in a terrible state.
    In the increasingly likely event that he continues to own us and ruin us my psychic energy is not to be spent living in hope, but dealing with the reality before us.
    ROT are probably the most grounded of forces in all this because they are dealing with the club we have rather than the club we may become.
    The bottom line is that we win loads of games (unlikely), or we react.The reaction can be either passive or active that is up to each individual.
    Waiting around on a takeover thread a moment longer is a waste of creative juices.
    Indeed the only action/reaction thing that has actually happened since the end of the season is the admirable mini Tripadvisor/Hotel Stayen campaign.
    We need to line up more stuff like that in the wings, and dare I say help ROT where we can.

    I first discussed this idea on p315 of the thread. It feels like a lifetime ago, but was actually January.

    A Bitter sweet moment has been reached,
    and this thread has an ugly beauty where the small step to the peak of this mountain is also our nadir. The lack of Oxygen has created the senses to become cloudy and many are now suffering from cognitive dissonance where they wanted to reach the 1000, yet also craved this sad heavy gravity journey to reach its conclusion.

    We have lost folk on the way because we had too many Tensing Norgays who all wanted to climb by a different route, and Edmund Hillary started to hear so many voices in his head he didn't know whether to go down under or middle East route or just keep going till WIOTOS.

    I hope you recover soon @jimmyseed but you tried to climb two mountains at the same time while riding a bike which could only end one way.

    There are too many people to thank and blame for this thread but the BIG Question remains?

    Is this the beginning of the end ?
    Or the end of the beginning ?

    Recover from what. Have I missed something?
    I hope you recover from losing your wonderful sense of humour which went AWOL when you confused social media with real life.
    It's others who are confusing social media with real life, not me.

    Things went way too far, and definitely weren't funny, at 'another place'.

    The defense of, 'we were trying to be funny doesn't work'.


    Please let's not debate this further. We can't discuss other forums here, quite rightly.

    I'd be happy to get back to poetry and fish puns however, although I'm struggling to find a decent rhyme for 'thousand'?
    Welcome back.
    Thanks you. I'm sorry I got stressed the other night, but it's more to do external factors, than what's happening here. And thanks for all of your nice messages, they meant a lot.
    Sod off ;)
    Yours especially darling.

    It'll probably get postponed to Thursday 5th July due to the England match on this Thursday.
