Perhaps they are still waiting for follow up paperwork

Is there any specific reason that there is a larger-than-normal number of executive-looking cars in the car park at Sparrows Lane this afternoon?

We want photographs.....and finger prints, blood tests, DNA tests, handwriting analysis and fabric thread comparison as a minimum.

Catch 22.
You must be sane to take over a football club.

You must be insane to pay 35 million for a league one club which will lose money at least in the short term.

Just arrived. SSN are here. The reporter asked a passing fan what he thought of this thread. I think he summed it up perfectly.

Let’s see where we are at the end of today.

Oh come on! We all know nothing is going to be announced today. Why even post something like that?

Ps - I hope I’m wrong!

Probably a load of bollocks but some Facebook users are now reporting that the EFL has rejected the Aussie bid.

As for Facebook, doesn't take much for a rumour to spread even if its false.

That's come from what Redhenry said earlier in this thread. Which was then contradicted by others.

So glad they are doing this now. We can't achieve salvation because the EFL have suddenly got morals and ethics!

Right now half our fans would rather have a bank robbers money above Roland and now we can't do it.

I bet Roland is pissed off though - clearly he wants out and now he's just getting pumped by the EFL.

Most annoying though is it's us fans that are suffering more than anyone. So thanks Roland, thanks EFL and fuck you Sepp Blatter!! (I know he's nothing to do with it but my rant needed 3 targets to feel strong enough)

And not before time!

Bexleyboy on other site saying not true EFL still waiting for paperwork from Aussies.

Why do people keep repeating what this idiot says .
If you have to go into that awful web site , he’s the last person you should take any notice of.

My great aunt Doris is more in the know and she’s been dead 20 years .

How tall was she?

If I were superstitious, I'd worry that we are cursed (admittedly being owned by Uncle Roland is a curse in itself), but every other takeover seems to move more smoothly than ours (https://rte.ie/sport/soccer/2018/0608/969099-exclusive-galway-united-on-verge-of-saudi-takeover/).

There are times I feel a bit like Private Frazer.


What @blackpool72 says...

Many thanks for reminding me.

Just sell the club and FUCK OFF

Why's that? Has @JamesSeed heard anything about them not coming back??? Or the thread has so many new posts every day that I missed it?

Don’t tell him Pike!

Sometimes I think that is the funniest moment in British sitcom. One of them anyway.

Unfortunately I have to borrow another line. ‘I know nothing’.

Last thing I heard everything was fine, but if it was all going horribly wrong I think they’d be highly unlikely to tell me, if I’m honest.
I have asked a question, but it’s five in the morning over there.
