Translated to 'my bird my bird' for me.

Must have wanted few more followers.

no , i haven't seen a single thing that convinces me in truth, so much blah blah but in truth its all just rumour as per. i dont think it will ever happen and Rafa will be off, theres literally nothing to suggest otherwise, just speculation. Quite the opposite for me. The only concrete stuff that has came out, suggests it's on. All the blah blah blah and speculation has come from journos with no clue trying to fill their pages.

Just the company by the looks of it. People just speculating as to why.

What importance it has to do with the takeover? Please explain to me, I really don't understand. Yeah I don’t get it either Read the replies. They explain it in there I did. Still none the wiser. I must be thick. Well I wrote the reasoning that I could gather from the replies on the previous page. It’s probably nothing but their theory seems to be the strawberry place land sale was pending planning permission and the sale has been cancelled as new owner wants the land as part of the deal to expand. Tbh I think it’s nothing major myself If that's the case, it's pretty fucking major but yeah, that won't be the reason.

Aye, that's what I said

How come takeovers of other clubs never seem to take this long How do you know this? We only found out about this a couple of weeks ago man. Even if other clubs don't take 'this long', they aren't owned by Mike Ashley. Imagine trying to undo all of his tentacles man, assuming it doesn't fall through due to how tight of a hold he has on us after 12 years, it's going to take forever to negotiate everything.

Not sure why this is even an active thread these days Such a fucking pointless club.

That's the worry - that we have been played yet again by Ashley. I just don't get how this isn't everyones default position until he proves us wrong. I've been banging this drum for ages but why anyone would give him any benefit of doubt is completely beyond me. Our fans have been fooled so easily time and time again it's unreal by now. Well it is really isn't it? Most sensible people believe the bid is genuine, that they are trying to buy him out, whilst also believing that Mike will basically veto it. What most sensible people don't believe, is that it's some big conspiracy and that BZG is Keith Bishop in disguise. As someone said above (and mentioned loads previously) there are only a couple of concrete facts still, ignore what the journos say as they have proven to be clueless on the matter. Having said all that, the WhatsApp shit is a joke and made me more pessimistic

Fucks sake man. Absolutely pissed off with that shite.

This Whatsapp carry on is the biggest negative in this whole mess for me.

Fuck that I'm back in show me screenshots!

Sorry but anyone renewing at the minute wants their heads checked. It's fucking mental, yet I assume there will be thousands. Just this alone should be enough to put people off after the 20%(?) increase last season before you even consider the whole Rafa/no signings carry on. Further proof (if needed) that he can literally do what he wants without any backlash.

Despite thinking it's best for him to go rather than him staying with ashley, that moment of fuckin devastation was an eye-opener

Probably is true

Get in.

None of them have a clue anyway, quite happy to hear nothing from them.

Some juicy info right there. See if you can squeeze him for more.

Yep. Same. This is why to me the whole 'Ashley's doing this to deflect from the Rafa situation' conspiracy makes no sense. He could literally say fuck all for the next 2 month, let Rafa walk, bring in some cunt, sign one or 2 bottom of the barrel players and the ground would still be full next season. No need for any elaborate master-plan.

Apart from the Mackems...they deserve him 100%.

Care to explain how it's job done? People are focused on the rich arab supposedly taking over as opposed to Rafa signing a new contract ... people will still be distracted by the time Rafas contract runs out .... then Ashley accuses Sheikhy of being a timewaster , hey presto Rafas gone , yesman comes in as new manager , Ashleys spent fuck all in transfers again and looks forward to pocketing more PL £££££ .... Want me to walk you through it again ? ? How is it job done though, what exactly is the job? It's not like people just won't realise Rafa's gone Just because there is takeover talk it doesn't absolve Mike Ashley of any backlash from letting Rafa go, which is where your little theory falls apart. Whether it goes through or not, Rafa should be staying. What you say is frankly, bollocks.

So Care to explaim how it's job done? He’s an idiot mate aye. Just wondering if there's any logical explanation as to how it could, in any way, be job done. Also fuck knows what happened to that abortion of a post

Care to explain how it's job done?

Don’t be stupid. That makes no sense. Are you thick ? Why not just say no one has bid? And appoint who he wants when rafas contract runs out. He knows he'll face barely any reaction regardless. What you're saying makes no sense. He doesn't need to go through that trouble as it doesn't help him in any way.

Can you stop saying fakeover please. It's a Sheikhover. The only thing Ashley can be doing is ignoring it all and letting everyone debate about what's actually happening before eventually saying it's not happening. There's nothing staged on his part. Worst case scenario is that he's just laughing at all the speculation knowing he's not going anywhere, then eventually rubbishing it all. At that point all the conspiracy theorists will come out shouting TOLD YOU SO. I'm still at the point now where I'm still hopeful he decides to accept and fuck off... So far there's been nothing to make me think that's not going to be the case.
