  • Where did the money for Jonny Williams come from if we’re not being taken over?

    Bowyer has a budget, but I would be surprised if we are paying very much if anything for Williams.
    We must be paying him something, did we not take over his contract from Palace, so he wont be playing for free will he
    F*** Williams, we're talking takeover.
    Oh right, I thought it was just a thread for general bullshit!

    What’s the latest guys? Been out all day.

    Nothing. It's been pretty quiet on here.
  • Australian consortium according to JW.

    Doesn't that contradict what Airman said the other day?

    American money, based on holding the assets. Australian control, based on owning the football club. However, the same source says the Americans will now back off.

    This isn’t via JW, by the way.
    This is what I posted earlier, if that helps. A few calls were made yesterday by other people and this is what came back. It’s a prediction and it comes from someone who has been involved, but it is not a definitive statement of fact or a claim that it has already happened.

    I don’t know anything about Jim White’s meeting but there are two primary sources of the report it’s about to be done. One is the broker, who is talking to JW, and the other is Lieven De Turck.
    Airman I don’t mean to be rude but that’s conflicting unless I’m being stupid? You have said the contact said the Americans are going to back off and then say the source says it’s about to be done?
    Quite. It's called hedging your bets.
    Whatever happens you can claim to be right if you've covered all options :smile:

    Its really starting to get on my tits, so many people supposedly ITK who clearly know fuck all.

    The two things that cause annoyance on this thread; certainty and a lack of certainty.

    My contact is very sceptical about the parties’ ability to conclude a deal and believes the next thing that will happen is that the American funding will stall.

    Both the broker and De Turck, separately, have given the impression that it is imminent.
    So Airman - Given what you said in your last post, can you tell us how your source is so knowledgable, when the information that it's imminent comes from the fella handling the sale for Roland and the fella brokering the deal itself?
    I'm assuming your source is close to whichever consortium is/isn't buying the club, can you elaborate?

    Essentially only two questions being asked at the moment. Is it still on? or is it off?
  • 2 fat ladies, up The Millers

    Lucky you. I have never heard it called Millers before
  • FFS! I’ve bought Accrington tickets 🙈

    You know the absolute worst thing about this weeks sorry little episode....

    About 10 pages ago @DOUCHER said it wasn’t happening so he’s actually got something right finally....





    Mind you he does like to cover all bases though....
  • I have had 300 pot noodles in my basket all day? Do i purchase?

    My immediate concern is whether RD is about to sell Taylor to the spanners to help towards the mounting running costs.

    If that happens then i think i'll be done with this club
  • Assuming a meeting is taking place at all, you’d have to imagine it’s happening now or just about to.

    Would certainly be a new low. I think Bowyer might well walk if that happened.

    Not easily, while respecting confidences, but timing is part of it. The broker / De Turck line is last week’s news. As people have noted, JW has backtracked a bit on Friday’s public position. It’s not a coincidence.
