Recommended Posts

For us forrins, who is this Richard Desmond dude?

He is a financial backer of UKIP, a far right wing, basically racist political party. Also owns the Express newspaper.

Long story short a massive cunt.

:rolleyes: So once again, as we get what would/could appear to be quite positive, it is followed up by locally linked journo's trying to pour cold water on it, and dampen any optimism??

 

Why? You'd think they'd be the ones trying to keep hopes and spirits up??!!

I'm guessing the press are saying February because it takes 30-40 days apparently to do a fit and proper person test. For all that the deal could be complete well beforehand and I wouldn't expect that test to cause any problems if Staveley  is fronting it.

This was a post takeover meal, it’s done.

 

You heard anything HTT?

 

Nah, just wishful thinking on my behalf. I do really believe though that no-one knows anything other than the people that matters. You could read into so many things in so many different ways to reach some kind of idea or conclusion really. My own thoughts are that perhaps the negative spin from the media recently was nothing more than s*** stirring, that there has been no ultimatums or take it or leave it deals and that neither side has leaked anything. Basically talks are on going. The worry for me regarding this meal is that it does seem kind of staged managed and it wouldn’t surprise me if Bishop’s hands were all over it, if you want to talk a conspiracy that is. Hopefully it was a meal between seller and buyer to celebrate a successful deal and now it’s in the hands of the FA and Rafa will get some money in a January to keep us up.

 

I’m more confident than I was last week and do believe that the fat man genuinely wants to sell the club and sooner rather than later. But we all know he’s stubborn and can change his mind just as quickly and we could well be lumbered with him. The next month or so is going to be very interesting and could shape the next 125 years of the club in a huge way, adverse or otherwise. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome.
