Oh good its the wind up merchant
The only wind up merchants here are those telling you the takeover remains likely to be concluded. As you'll see in the coming weeks. I appreciate that's not going to be popular which is what leads to the personal abuse.
-
It's Monday tomorrow. Wonder if that's connected to the takeover.

Walked away anyway haven’t they according to you, so won’t matter.
No, they've walked away according to them.

MBS blackmailing the government into getting involved probably isn’t the best way to go about proving he’s not ultimately in control like.
Pretty obvious this is bad news on that front like. I dare not look on the positivity nonsense thread to see the mental gymnastics involved in trying to spin it as a positive piece of news.

it’s also funny how some people have to equate absolutely everything that happens to be “not takeover” related too.
Just the stuff that isn't indicative of the takeover moving closer really. Like this news for example.
-
As a group, too many of the squad that got us promoted are still here.
-
Pretty obvious that the new owners stuff relates to the new people operating the club shop. Funny that the press have to equate absolutely everything that happens to the "takeover" though. All about clicks.....

But by winning the legal action the sale could go ahead. Why do you think PIF have changed their mind? After sinking millions in the process.
Did you read the paperwork coming out of the most recent case?
Because they couldn't / refused to satisfactorily answer the questions concerning the control and ownership. What do you base your assuredness of the club / Ashley winning the legal action on at this stage, other than more blind optimism obviously?

You should get on the blower to Mike and save him a fortune in legal fees. I’m sure the tight cunt hoys away millions on the back of blind optimism all the time.
Mike is annoyed that they've cost him his sale, that it's gone. Finished. Hence the legal action. Absurd that people don't realise this still.

Boo hoo, someone suggested that the takeover might not happen. Did I ruin the fantasy world that you lot are creating?
Its not even about the likelihood of a takeover, its about you lot burying your head in the sand and ignoring the truth because it makes you feel a bit better about life.
If I'm wrong and the takeover goes through, great and if there is an "I told you so" thrown in my direction, fine but I'd suggest that says more about where your priorities lie than mine.
Ban me from this fantasy thread if you like. Couldnt give a shite. Its about as close to a thread on reality as a thread about Harry Potter or Qanon.
Just change the thread title from "Positive Optimism" to "Blind Optimism" and it'll be fully fit for purpose.

4,000 is a good number, but you would think/ hope that number could still grow quite significantly with our fanbase. Any idea how much the average pledge is?
Is it not just £50,000 divided by 4,000 people?

Ok, so you know nothing either then
You carry on believing in Santa Claus mate, even though there's nothing to indicate he exists.

All the info including negative sources is that the buyers are still there, I do agree with your second point though nobody knows how the arbitration will go. Just hope it’s sorted in the next two months so everyone can move on full stop.
There's no actual evidence of it though is there? Other than a few accounts on twitter with an interest in keeping the story running for various reasons.

What do you know of the PL and our respective legal arguments to decide it's daft?
That neither involve any buyer, because the buyer very publicly withdrew from the process.
There's nothing to indicate that our dispute with the PL would see the return of the buyer. Nothing at all. And that's before you consider that the PL may have an acceptable argument. Too many people simply assuming the club will win the legal dispute.

When I signed up an hour ago my order number was mid 7k if that's accurate.
Roughly half that judging by the tweet above this.

I'm still surprised that anyone thinks that this will go through.
Daft isn't it?

Pretty much at 50k.
Do you have a rough idea of how many people it is so far?

Not good enough.
Three year deal.

"well, ye naow, ye can't be giving teams like Burnley a goal headstart at the level, this is the premier league. Ye naow Dychey's gonna have them defending for their lives. Second half thaow a thort tha were positives to take into next week"

Been for a walk with my dad this morning and he asked question which I said I would post on here.
Before Ashley came in my dad had a couple of hundred quid's worth of shares in the club, but he reckons when Ashley took over he was able to buy them under some compulsory rule because he owned so much of it already. He also paid less than my dad paid for the shares when he did it?
If new owners come in and decide they dont want to work with the trust will they be able to do the same with the Trust's 1% and buy them for cheaper than the Trust paid? Or is there an agreement that they can't do that?

2000 people who say they would be willing to give you £25,000 each is very different to actually having the money in the bank.
Didn't say otherwise. Still it's an indication of interest that existed last time around. Maybe means the £3m isn't as impossible as some people think?

Surely we could raise that in say 5 years then as we will have a far bigger fanbase than hearts. Or going off that surely we could 15m in 8 years time.
if we are a championship club in 8 years time then 15m could be about 12% of the club
They had £50m in pledges within a matter of weeks last time they did something similar. Wonder if they've still got the details of those people as obviously they'd be able to clear the £3m pretty quickly.

Posted in that thread twice today so far. My previous three posts to those ones were actually in this very thread earlier in the week...... Carry on making stuff up though.
