The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

Leuth

Ah for the days when it was Spain bringing international embarrassment upon themselves

So which Hindu God is the one to pray to for a playoff win - Mendonca, the God of Wembley hattricks?

Any more of this could see me 'Tippoo' over the edge. This one for history buffs.

There’s a fella on Twitter who DMs me from time to time with info. He seems to have a contact inside the club, as his info seems to have some relation to what’s going on. 

Anyway, he’s just messaged me to say there may be new investors. They are, he says, Indian, and are involved in the cricket world. 
I have absolutely no idea if there is any truth in this whatsoever unfortunately, so don’t shoot the messenger.

Let’s hope it’s not another googly. 

So your mate GM told you some info over beers and you put it all over here, then a bloke DM’s you and you put it all up on here.  Something tells me you are not great at keeping secrets 😀

I have no idea who he (the Twitter) fella is, and GM said it was fine to share, as there were no financial details. 

What's his Twitter handle?

Anyone else think this Indian rumour is merely someone putting together 2+2=5 after reading about Parminder Basran possibly pulling out of the Bolton deal?

Definitely isn’t! I’ve had messages from him before though. 

All information in this flippin’ thread of yours is dodgy, and its only function is to earn you a promote :-)

They weren’t messages containing info, so no, he’s not my source. I only have one proper source, and everyone knows who that is. The rest are just people passing on bits and bobs they hear, like people do on here.

We can all chapati ourselves on the back and hit the cobra's when it goes through ;-)

CheshireAddick

I wonder if this is another one of the deliberate leaks if its come from someone within the club. North Korea time again????

I just assumed you and him sent a letter to muir asking to invest

Heard on good authority from someone ITK that a group of aliens are interested...

Another one bowled from the gas works end is my bet 

johnnyhumphrey

I'm creased-up. Sounds like a lot of bails to me. How did that slip out? An under-cover agent perhaps. Or will it be another one right in the box?

blackpool72

Please make it stop 
Aghhhhhhh&hhhhh

Rudders22

As soon as i came back to this thread for nearly a day. You see 40 new messages you know there will be 39 puns and no takeover..

Has Murray curried favor with the new buyers?

1589, James V1 of Scotland marries Anne of Denmark. She was only 14.

I was hoping for a bit of peace now, but sadly this takeover will just lead to more argy-bhaji
