There are dozens of reasons why you might change your financial year end, some may be takeover related but many / most will not be.

 

The suggestion by that twitter guy that it may be an attempt to inflate your results for the benefit of a buyer (whether a new or an existing one) doesn't really make any sense though.

 

The idea that you can make yourself seem better off by adding an extra months worth of revenue would be seen through by any half capable accountant which any serious or even prospective buyer would employ a team of.

 

So, I think that particular line of argument makes no sense as to the status of any takeover, yes or no, and isn't worth arguing about. 

 

 

Thanks. I was going to say surely shifting a month from next year into this year wouldn't affect a price? Especially when that information is now a year old anyway?

Price is agreed though, isn't it? Just waiting on the green light I thought? 

Unless it's a new buyer starting from scratch this makes almost no difference other than having a full season in the accounts. 

Wales got exactly what their performance deserved yesterday as well as their attitude second half. Good effort at deflecting from that by the Charlton full back.

Belgium and France both look like they're capable of taking it up a gear too. I'm not sure I've seen anyone else who has.

Germany have already shown they can. Not sure they can again but i guess we'll soon find out.

Rafa won't last 18 months at Everton but it won't be his fault. Step down from Ancelotti, though.

Think Ancelotti was pretty disappointing there really.

Jota has been absolutely crap this tournament - he has been since he returned from injury for Liverpool too tbf.

A lot of that is down to Ronaldo. Don’t think he's suited to the donkey work / supporting role like Benzema had to be at Real Madrid. 

Portugal going out if they don't score says matterface, just in case anyone doesn't know how scores work

So unlike Pepe that. 

Luke Edwards will be crying.

Was 28 June meant to be a date for something or am i going mad?

Was the date Mouth of the Tyne said arbitration definitely starts.

And she wasn’t a Saudi princess, she is the daughter of the ruler of Dubai, clearly Joey Spunktrumpet spinning his own narrative.

For what its worth, here's another one. 

Fantastic 

Ball up to insigne and his first thought is about where he can fall over.

Disagree, they look very well organised, they just don't have any world class striker who can make the difference. Not sure you can put that on Mancini. 

Plus Austria have been excellent second half.

Why did that decision take so fucking long ffs.  Offside was pretty clear.

Surely they only need one look at that. 

Just now, TRon said:

Italy are good up to the penalty area, then they just have a lack of real cutting edge. 

It's strange because Immobile is clearly a very good club goalscorer. 

Was offside though. Unfortunately.

Shush (again) Joey. The story which you’re alluding to is that of a Princess running AWAY from her family. But don’t let that stop you twisting it to suit your narrative. 

She's been held prisoner since she was captured and prevented from seeing any of her family who she wants to see since then. 

In any event, it was an attempt at a pretty rubbish joke, no attempt at twisting into a narrative.

To be fair no one was keeping him from them.

True. It's not like he's a Saudi Princess.

Aye I hope they turn us over twice if Bruce is still here.

Imagine Bruce if we beat them

He’s an absolute knobhead if he goes to Everton. Michael Owen levels of loyalty and self awareness.

 

Hopefully our fan base can move on from him now. 

Nah, loyalty doesn't come into it. He's an unemployed Spanish football manager going to another english club. 

I do think he'd be daft to take it though as they would be to appoint him given the reaction to it.

Here in lies the problem gdm. People don’t want it to be recognised when a bullshit rumour/fake itk turns out to be bollocks.

 

It’s okay to discuss them for days, but when they’re proven wrong, apparently you need to pretend it never happened.

 

If you do try and point out it was wrong, the same folk come bundling in crying about it and claiming you’re the problem  

 

This forum cannot deal with non-positive news, in either thread. It’s completely and utterly weird. Unless you want to fall in line and not challenge/discuss anything, you’re not welcome to post about the takeover.

 

They have their own thread for their weird conspiracy theories, but still come in here to whinge and moan on a daily basis whenever they see a post they don’t like.

 

Then all of a sudden it’s my fault, or Joey’s fault, or someone else’s fault… because they can’t help but react for no reason whatsoever.

This is a really good summary of the problem on here at the moment. It's nobody's fault it isn't happening other than the buyers for walking away or the premier league for "blocking it" whichever you choose to believe.

Not sure what page you were looking on, but took me two minutes to see the three posts he was talking about.

It was a pretty obvious attempt at wumming from him combined with a thinly veiled attempt at getting me banned. Pathetic really. Have put him on ignore though, so hopefully that's the end of it. 

Happy to tread water and drift aimlessly over the summer.

Turns out their new owner has been using the furlough scheme to fund his players wages this pre-season.

 

I seem to remember them being up in arms when billionaire Richard Branson did the same.  Difference is, football is now happening.

Just read that. Good to see their forum finance expert defending their owners as always.
