  • 2013, The murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich, RIP. Andy Murray becomes the first British male to win the men's singles at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
  • The price tag is still nonsense... but Footballing people, who know football, will see just how good Bowyer is... I mean he's clearly a footballing god

    So now is the time, just step up, do it, put 10 million into the team and watch as we sail, frictionless, into the Big Time.

  • Significant investment over 3-5 years you say.

    If a deal got over the line by January I would hope the first things they do are to:

    Tie Taylor down to a new contract
    Attempt to buy both Cullen & Gallagher.

    But I'm not holding my breath. 


    No way would Chelsea  sell Gallagher and no way would he be willing to sign for us.


  • Six pages to go,
    Six pages ‘til takeover,
    One new rumour on this thread,

    And put Bowyer and his team on new long term deals
  • If only we knew 1000 pages back that this would get to 2019. How fuckin depressing

  • Serious question as I've jumped about 20 odd pages - Are there there still people rumoured to be interested?

    Gutted I missed page 1995. Crazy to think @ForeverAddickted started secondary when I would only have been about 2-3 weeks old.

    Just have to settle for being 2 in 1997.

    The page numbers are the most exciting thing on this thread now.

    I wonder if we get to page 2020 before the turn of the new year, the internet will just explode..?
    Everyone is waiting with baited breath to find out the year canters lost his virginity!
    Still waiting
    Yay!!!

    Those were the days mate, logging onto this thread every hour of every day, hoping for a link to the os, confirming a take over had been completed. One thing I will say is that when I was on here, keeping informed, I wouldn't have thought twice about updating a member who asked what was  new

    GM has confirmed to poster Jimmy Seed, that a second bid has been made that is apparently ‘attractive to fans’

    Gallagher would reject a permanent move even if in some fantasy land we had the money to buy him. He’s gunning for the Chelsea first team next season and probably feels like he has a chance with Lampard in charge. We can’t compete with that.

    My (total nonsense never happening because Roland will own us forever) priority list would be:

    - Bowyer long term deal
    - Taylor extension on decent terms
    - Attempt to buy Cullen (they keep buying expensive midfielders and I can’t see them stopping...)
    - Go sign Karlan back from Huddersfield
    Serious question; How would people feel if we were to re-sign him after a takeover?

  • Cardiff seem to be falling apart - that’s our best hope if u ask me - maybe dalmon is back in so rd has triggered the Aussie nonsense again for competition purposes

    It would depend on how soon after the takeover we bought him. But if it were within a few weeks, I think most people would feel exactly the same way. Hungover.

    I agree with you some ways, but remember, this has been going on for so long weve all got old, so cant remember what you ASKED.

    Wasn’t sure about posting negativity when the football side is going so well. Met an old Charlton player last night who is a mate of LB. He didn’t ask not to be named, but I think best not to. Apparently Lee isn’t getting on too well with the owner at the moment. The owners complete lack of interest as well as the fact he is rarely available is causing problems. He thinks the frustration will boil over at some stage if there is no change in attitude from Duchatelet or the club is sold. I know this is probably not ground breaking information, but I thought it worth posting. If this sale doesn’t go through we will lose Bowyer.
    Let me rephrase that for you......If the sale doesn’t go through, we MAY lose Bowyer.
