  • I can feel it in my fingers and feel it in bones...the takeover is nearly close now as everybody knows.

    It’s happening!!!
  • 1409 , come on keep it coming !

    Just seen a guy in a 3 piece suit & tie, white haired, giving a talk to about 10-15 others in the Directors’ Box. Lots of hand gestures & gesticulating while pointing out various parts of the ground. He got an ovation at the end & they all headed off inside after lots of hand shaking. He did look a lot like Gerald Murphy. Maybe he was introducing other investors to the club?

    Likely to be keohane?
    He’s the last remaining SMT
    Trying to look after himself, no doubt.
    American investors and our Tone turns up in a photo with Donald, starting to make sense now. Remember you heard it here first. ;)

    Looking at trumps pals, do you think he only hires bald people so his wig looks better? Just putting it out there.

    Or just a staff pre-game meeting?
    I can see that you are not taking this in the intended spirit 😀
    Sorry.

    The guy in the suit is the new CEO. The larger man is the new CFO, while the younger looking bloke with the green and red tie is their football advisor, who will be the “Football Operations Manager” - whatever that is?

    Is that better?

    If it's done then why only 'should' be announced next week?

    If it's done, surely it's a given to be announced by Monday latest. Why would they be waiting and waiting to announce it?

    I don't know, proof of funds and transfer of funds are two different things and arranging the press announcement etc but don't shoot the messenger who has reported in good faith what I thought I heard him say.

    Jim White is at the ground, his info is from the guy that brokered the deal. Money to be transferred Monday and a deal should be announced Tuesday.

    Cough, cough :wink:

    According to someone on Facebook Murray has said “no smoke without fire” in regards to the takeover.

    He also said it would be done last February :smiley:

    1 - I suspect this had to be sorted before we could announce "Jonniesta" this morning

    2 - @Glovepup - if you are still the man in power can you PLEASE play Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport before the game tomorrow. Please. Pretty please. That will get the crowd gee'd up

    I gave up doing the music about 2 seasons ago, apparently it's been dreadful since I left? (you're supposed to say yes). If I was in the hot seat I would sure make the music choice topical.
    Always fancied that job myself but I didn't like the hours! Also, apparently its not appropriate to play "I'm in the mood for Dancing" when we are at home to the spanners. ;)

  • Never got an email back from MCB or his handlers. Was not really expecting it.

    Dammit, after all these posts I am excited by the prospect even though it makes no sense that it would be true!

    I even find myself defending news that would counter the belief, such as the rumour that it is “American money.” Because Atlassian is listed on the NASDAQ, it’s possible that some people are confusing the Aussies with “American money.”

    I'm guessing between 16500 and 17000
  • Just spoke to Jim White. His info comes not from Roly but the other side. He says Tuesday/Wednesday.

    By Monday it’ll be Wednesday/Thursday!
  • When is the best time to mention imminent; Sunday or Monday?
