Or more likely in central London offices of the solicitors.

Or even more likely absolutely nothing will happen at all and we'll still be discussing potential owners this time next week

Surely it has to happen on the dates given now or there will be a bigger enquiry than the weapons of mass destruction
Interview with Scotland Manager. https://www.pressreader.com/uk/evening-times/20180217/281852939042873 Towards the end of the article he mentions about us and was there helping out friends on a consulatancy basis, Donald Muir was fronting the bid but the owner wanted too much money.
I was devastated when they stopped the cheese and tomato one. Going back probably 25 years.
Did they ever bring it back?
Hahaha, had same conversation less than a week ago. They bought it back but tasted like shite, more tomato than cheese tasting like it used to.
The cheese and tomato pot noodle and the coconut boost should be bought back.
Bought by who?
There are a number of interested parties, including an Australian consortium, a mystery middle eastern buyer, various billionaires, and reportedly Paul Elliott representing a number of former Pot Noodle enthusiasts.
Yes folks, we’ve gone full circle.
May I just add, that although I may be currently living/working in Saudi, I am not the mystery middle-east buyer unfortunately.
However, if I was, I have considered the structure of my 'team' and it would be as follows:
Airman Brown (obviously) as CEO. I'd like a fanny in the boardroom also, so the role of Chair Person goes to the inimitable Mrs Fanackapan. Canters would be in charge of Youth Development because of his unique understanding of the younger generation and Goonerhater would take up a new role of London Area Club Liaison with a direct link to The Emirates. Fadgadget leads the pre/post match entertainment by virtue of his excellent taste in music. After much deliberation and soul searching, Seth gets the role of First Team Manager because of his ability to analyse an opponent without the need to read any reports or research on them, with Northstandsteve 'cracking the whip' for him from a motivational perspective.
Prem within 4 years and Champions of Europe within 8.

Hey, what are you doing putting facts on this thread ?

Hey, what are you doing putting facts on this thread ?
Good find, confirming what we thought we knew.
Yeah I know terrible to deal in facts... should be BS, false rumours, pot noodles, horses, and anything else whilst we are bored..
New Scotland boss Alex McLeish has told the Evening Times in Glasgow that the interest in taking over #cafc fronted by former Valley ST holder Donald Muir ended because Roland Duchatelet wanted too much money for the club and is a C***T
So having read the link, the Scots and Donald Muir are out, 1 down I wonder how many 'really' to go?
Isn’t it fairly certain that two bids have been deemed accepted ? That implies two until the niceties have been worked out and Roland signs it over.
FWIW. I still don’t think it’s next week.
Hi @ShootersHillGuru my comment was purely made on the basis of do we really know? Like you I think its 2, but with some saying its a done deal tomorrow, perhaps we are now down to 1? So much conjecture now that I think its difficult to really know what the story is. For what its worth I don't think tomorrow is the day, but I do have a sneaking feeling, based on nothing at all, that it could well be this week, in time for the big game against Shrewsbury.
When would the match day programmes for Saturday need to be sent for the printers?
I only ask because in there it will show the Directors and Chairman and owner etc. If we have new owners by then, the printers will (need to) know. Or will it be a case of putting a sticky label over it?

Hadn't thought of that!
Blackadder IV, Episode 2 - Corporal Punishment
Scene - (back at the cell)
Perkins: Someone to see the Captain?
Edmund: What does he look like?
Perkins: Short, ugly...
Edmund: Hello Baldrick.
Baldrick: I brought you some food, sir, for your final breakfast tommorrow.
Edmund: Ah, so you're not pinning much hope on a last minute reprieve then.
Baldrick: No sir, you are as dead as some doo-doos.
Edmund: The expression, Baldrick, is 'as a do-do'. 'Dead as a do-do'.
Perkins: Well, I'll leave you to it then, shall I? (leaves)
Baldrick: Do not despair, sir. All my talk of food was jsut a dead herring. In fact, I have a cunning plan. This is not food, but an escape kit.
Edmund: Good Lord! A saw, a hammer, a chisel, a gun, a change of clothes, a Swiss passport, and a huge false moustache, I may just stand a chance.
Baldrick: Ah....
Edmund: Let's see, what have we here? A small painted wooden duck.
Baldrick: Yeah, I thought if you get caught near water, you can balance it on the top of your head as a brillaint disguise.
Edmund: Yeeeesss, I would, of course, have to escape first. Ah, but what's this, unless I'm much mistaken, a hammer and a chisel?
Baldrick: You *are* much mistaken!
Edmund: A pencil and a miniature trumpet.
Baldrick: Yes, a pencil so you can drop me a postcard to tell me how the break out went and a small little tiny miniature trumpet in case during your escape, you have to win favour with a difficult child.
Edmund: Baldrick, I don't want to spend my last precious hours rummaging through this feeble collection of stocking-fillers. Now let me ask you some simple questions: is there are a saw in this bag?
Baldrick: No.
Edmund: A hammer?
Baldrick: No.
Edmund: A chisel?
Baldrick: No.
Edmund: A gun?
Baldrick: No.
Edmund: A false passport?
Baldrick: (thinks) No.
Edmund: A change of clothes?
Baldrick: Yes sir, of course I wouldn't forget a change of clothes.
Edmund: Ah, now that's something, let's see.....a Robin Hood costume.
Baldrick: I put in a French peasant's outfit first, but then I thought 'What if you arrive in a French peasant's village and they're in the middle of a fancy dress party?'
Edmund: And what if I arrive in a French peasant village, dressed in a Robin Hood costume and there *isn't* a fancy dress party?
Baldrick: Well, to be quite frank sir, I didn't consider that eventuality, because if you did, you'd stick out like a.....
Edmund: (interrupting) Like a man standing in a lake with a small painted wooden duck on his head?
