    I woke up to someone waffling on in Chinese.

    The mystery continues.
  • So is everything still on for tomorrow Airman and redhenry ??

    How much ITK is he? (although the only one truly ITK is Roland I guess)
    Former Director with a secured loan outstanding of £250k I believe.
    So quite ITK then. Oh :(
    Quite possibly here's a breakdown of the former directors loans according to Airman in January totalling £7m;

    As well as Murray's £2.6m, Derek Chappell and Bob Whitehand each have £1.2m outstanding, Sir Maurice Hatter £1m, David Hughes £500,000 and David Sumners and David White £250,000 each.
    I'm still waiting on my £1 I paid towards the purchase of Ronnie Moore.

    We are still in talks.

    Definitely a couple of Australian accents in the Directors box and millennium suite today

    @Swisdom seems confident there were.
    Maybe I didn't see any

    Not wishing to dampen spirits but former director David White (owed £250k on his secured loan) earlier on today in this thread, posted that he was about to go on holiday, the club was a shambles and would be in the same state once he has returned or words to that effect. Make of that what you will.

    Wtf does he know?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Didn't see him in the Directors' Box but probably wouldn't have been able to see him from where we were sitting.

    However, he was walking behind the West Stand when we left around 6.15 and 3 of our "gang" stopped to speak with him.

    I held back as I wasn't sure how I'd react to what he had to say.

    I could hear how enthusiastic he was about today's performance but what caught my attention most was when he was asked about the takeover, he replied that there were 2 investors still in the game and that he believed it was down to their legal teams to get one of them over the line.

    Please don't take my words as verbatim but he definitely said that 2 prospective buyers were still involved in the process.

    Now, my immediate reaction was that he was bullsh*tting again based on the nebulous statements he's uttered in recent months but it's only human to wonder whether he's in the know or not at this stage.

    I have since read David White's tweet which has made me nervous all over again.....

    Observations, please, guys.
    Wouldn't be concerned by what Murray says. He's probably only stating what he is authorised to say. The body language could have had a bit of the old Monty Python.

    'Two prospective buyers' nudge nudge 'still involved' wink wink 'over the line' you know what I mean....
  • What's the upside for Murray to say it's done?
  • Guy on Valley Express yesterday (first time I've used it) - who seemed vaguely ITK - said he was certain of Monday and that Paul Elliott would be the CEO - not Chairman...
  • Murray was in the directors box yesterday but not in his usual seat. The directors box was, i'm told, very full, which hasnt been the case for a while. My feeling is it won't be monday but maybe later in the week.

    Is he qualified for that position? Remember the last one we had.

    Still on for Monday do you think mate?

    Haven't heard any different to what I was told last week.
    Aussies bid the most and won.
    £53m?.

    Is it the case that it's all over and we're just waiting for the announcement?
    If so, then it will be tomorrow.
    If there's still a few details too sort out then Monday is presumably a bit unlikely.

    If anyone needs me to state the completely obvious on any other issues, please just ask.

    Stating the obvious on one thing at a time is enough thanks

    Don't worry, as a matter of policy I imagine a smiley thing on the end of every post directed at me. It even turns being invited for a fight into playful banter.

    @Swisdom seems confident there were.

    I go in via the players entrance and as I was going in there were 2 guys and a lady coming out. I held the door open for them and both guys thanked me with an unmistakeable antipodean twang.
    Once the game kicked off the first bloke, hereafter referred to as Bruce, and his Sheila were in the Directors box.

    Could just be coincidence or a couple of visitors. Who knows. I guess we’ll all find out soon


    So, that was Bruce and Sheila but your name's not Bruce. That's gonna cause a bit of confusion.
  • If you were RD would you sell right now or wait
