Return of the SE7

Fucking weird dream last night .

I was in a hotel on a South American island (not a real one I don’t think) and I caught Roly in his meeting on another table in a large conference type room in a not too flattering position with a brass putting lipstick on him.
I took a sneaky photo and he clocked me and he discretely (although I knew he’d clocked me)got his security to follow me to the toilet and try and get my phone off me .
I’d already forwarded it on to a mate and deleted it by the time they caught up with me ,so I played all innocent .
I went back to my meeting , it was all with developers , lots of construction on this made up island , Don Goodman was putting a sales pitch to the 10 or so round my table and Rolys table had been the same sort of table , with 10-12(he was on a bed beside it with some lipstick on and a brass not really doing anything too bad just sort of beside him) or so around it had all gone .
I was fuming I didn’t confront him .
My plan was to meet him later and blackmail him that the photo would be deleted as soon as he sold , it was my way to speed up this fucking slow painful progress .
I woke up before I could find the old goat .
Proof if ever that this sale is never gonna take place or I have some sort of sinister crush on him or don goodman ffs

Can you share the photo on here?

International Womens Day

Tomorrow is National Crab Meat Day, so i wouldn't worry too much about it.

Enjoy those crab sticks everybody!

I am allergic to crabmeat.
Seriously.

In that case 'Ocean Sticks' are your friend. So called, because of their limited crab content. I wonder what would happen if someone complained their wasn't enough sea water in their ocean sticks?

Have your booked the appointment Al or are you doing Peterborough mate?

Daft old me, I am hoping for a resignation over the weekend from the manager which allows the new owners to be announced with their new manager. Of course I will be unlucky, but just the thought makes me happy.

I suppose that we can only console ourselves with the fact that he, like all of us, will eventually die.

Until then forget about the takeover - 'though winter's advancing, we'll stay young go dancing'

Good to see another Death Cab fan. Whenever I mention them, I always feel like I have to add "...they're not a death-metal band."

Let me know if they are ever playing live in London. I would come over especially for that.

Said Roland, never

After today, I suspect one or both of the buyers are wondering if they are off their rocker for getting themselves into a bidding war and maybe if it is time to back off a little.

Any truth that Gold and Sullivan are looking for a new club ;-)

Valley27000

Who will pay over the odds for our club now?.

KiwiValley

Who was in the Director's Box today? Or is it more of a case of who's still there?

This is one sinking ship in which the rat is most definitely not departing.

Rothko

This is never going to happen

Feck me.

Just home from a depressing experience in lovely ( ahem) Peterborough...

.....and Mr F's had to wrestle the kitchen knife out of my white knuckle grasp !

PLEASE ! Is there ANYONE out there who can inject a smidgen of positivity or optimism into this thread ?

Fanny is struggling to keep the faith.

Fanny, here’s an idea, lets run away to Belgium and protest together.
(With Mr F’s and Mrs M’s permissions of course)

OOOH ! It's been a while since I had an offer like that !

AND I have a senior railcard.....

I’ll pack the thermos and sandwiches.

Not really filled with excitement is it this thread, considering immovable Murray said we could be days away from the end of this rotten regime.

Why is that?

People don't believe a word Murray says?
We've been here before and were let down?
We're subconsciously pining for Roland and don't really want him to go?

Come on. Liven up!

That was the most enjoyable 4-1 I've ever seen. Apart from the shambolic defending and unwillingness to shoot, we were quite good for a fair percentage of the match.
And Zyro looked good.

Zyro has to start, and play him up top. Bring back the Bauer/Pearce partnership, play Konsa at right back. Drop Kaikai. Fosu needed that game, he'll score at Blackpool, where the hardy few will be rewarded by three points.

Any better?

Symbolic defending.....?

I sense that Murray is just telling us what we want to hear.

In my opinion he should be concentrating on getting season ticket prices for next season sorted.

That's probably a straighter line than our back four this season.

Bet that gave you a puncture, @catfordmorry

So surely when Wednesday comes around we should get another statement as the 2 weeks will be up over to you again Murry !!!

cfgs

I doubt we will get anymore updates soon unless it is to announce it is done. Otherwise Murray will probably keep quiet until the unrest starts to build again.

Didn't he say a few weeks, not two weeks.

FAVADDICK

He said it should be done in the next 2 weeks

FAVADDICK said:

His actual words were - "You can never tell how long lawyers will take but I’ve been informed it should be within the next few weeks. Once the new ownership has been legally achieved, we will inform everyone via our official channels.”

FEW weeks not two weeks.

Uboat

You say few weeks
I say two weeks
You say two bids
I say no bids
Few weeks, two weeks
Two bids, no bids
Let's call the whole thing off.

He should be concentrating on leaving.

Dazzler21

It's going to be confirmed this week. I can feel it.

Fingers crossed I don't end up disappointed again

If and when it does happen rich Cawley and airman etc will suddenly have a lot of new info (incl identities) a couple of days before (like the spivs takeover and douche taking over)
