  • current relegation odds are 20/1
  • Being surrounded by people discussing who they've got on the first day of the new Prem season isn't helping.
  • Any truth that one stumbling block for RD is the Aussie reluctance to keep Murray on board?

    Wouldn't surprise me, hate him so so much
  • This is getting a little depressing to say the least. God only knows what's going on but I'm starting to think the owner is stranger than I previously gave him credit for. He has wasted more money than I'm ever likely to see in a lifetime and may be wants to waste some more next season. I love to have an hour with this guy so I could find out what makes him tick, just to satisfy my own curiosity
    There is some good news, I will be saving money buy not buying a season ticket for another year.
  • Think I'm going to boycott this thread and concentrate on enjoying the World Cup instead. Hopefully by the time I come back we'll be sold.
  • I'm officially now bored of the takeover.

    Roly it would seem is trying to flush the Aussies out and get this concluded quickly is my guess so not the end of the world

    Nearly 5000 season tickets? Looks as though we have been properly played.

    Yep nearly 5000 tickets sold, however perhaps that's because RM said way back in February that RD was selling up. Could have been a strategic move to sell S/T's as people thought he was going. I admit people will always but S/T's no matter who owns the club, but my gut felling is a lot more would if RD just went!
    However we are where we are, lets see how many more are sold if he stays on!

    They didn't come for the Vol-au-vents! :smiley:

    They may well have looked at half a dozen clubs. If I wanted to buy a Chinese club I doubt I'd only pick one to look at. It's important to get these facts right ;-)
    really?

    Yep, all smoke and mirrors.
    Achieving the desired result of getting the mugs to part with their money. Too blinkered and selfish to see through the lies, but at least they saved £50, so happy days.

    did they? I thought prices didn't change after the deadline passed

    Figure of speech.

    Bollox! Could not get access to CL for 5 mins but it was only due to the work network throwing a wobbler...

    and NOT CL in meltdown because the takeover has happened.

    This football club has turned me into a nervous wreck.

    Don't buy tickets until he has gone. It's not difficult.

    He has always been a blocker go back 8 years and he was a blocker to change

    Things could have been so different

    I don’t doubt RD has blame to be attributed

    But I also don’t see the aussies as faultless either

  • "australiandavid" on ITTV saying it's rumoured RD will announce Bowyer as manager tomorrow. If that happens the deal will be off and they'll look at other clubs in England.

    He also claims the price was £54m, now £49.8m after the sale of "Ezri Kinga" for £4.2m.

    Meanwhile Colin claims the Aussies recently added two investors only to be told by the EFL they were happy as long as those two weren't involved. They're apparently looking for other funding to cover the £15m lost. Tomorrow was the target date and they're working hard to resolve the issues.

    That's your opinion - just because some people don't share that opinion doesn't make them mugs, blinkered or selfish!

    I hope it’s not the last part but honestly I wouldn’t be surprised

    How much did you pay for yours?

  • What a total mess, made worse by the Ibiza news. Poor Tracey Leaburn is probably going to have to deal with that situation on her own as there's no senior management to support her.

    Every day of uncertainty that passes is a day lost in terms of preparation for the coming season. I'm not just talking about the playing and team management staff but for everyone involved in the club, from the car park attendant to the sponsors.

    Who's dealing with existing and potential sponsors and suppliers (not that anyone in their right mind would commit to a deal under the current circumstances). And who's deciding which beer to stock in Crossbars next season, who should print the programmes and who should provide the hospitality vol au vents (though I'm pretty sure that is de facto position held by the expert, Sue Parkes).

    Sometimes it's easy to forget that there's a complete business to be run as most of us just want to see success on the pitch. At the moment success could probably be defined as finding 11 fit players for the first game of the season, even if it means playing Maynard-Brewer at left back.

    I didn't, I haven't had a season ticket for quite some time now (nothing to do with the ownership of the club). But unlike you, I don't believe that allows me to take any sort of morale high ground over fellow supporters, who all care about the club, but have different view to you on how they should channel that support.

  • i sometimes honestly think it might be better for RD to withdraw his backing and send us into admin
