Mattoon Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I think it's pretty obvious the takeover is not dead in the water, even the journos that are desperate for it to fail admit that it's still swimming around in the background. That is also not to suggest that it's definitely going to go through either. It's frustrating, but stamping your feet and saying it's definitely over or definitely going to go through under the current evidence is baseless.

Robster Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Monday marks the 1 year anniversary of the WSJ article breaking this takeover. A year out in the public and it's still not done Laugh or you'd cry One year When will it be one year since the start of the PL (2-4 week) checks?

Ketsbaia Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It's definitely not dead, everyone knows that something is trying to happen. The only doubt is over how much stock to put into the confidence of buyers. Whether to buy cans, be doubtful or somewhere in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Remember that WSJ article, saw it come up on my Twitter during the middle of a lecture, was taken aback by it even though at the time we all didn't believe it and spent the rest of the lecture lurking on here. All after the previous weekend where I suffered watching a stream of us drawing 0-0 at home to Oxford. Heady days. Around 14th April was when stuff on CH came out and PL 'checks' where meant to be happening and take 'between 3-4 weeks'. Ended up being 4 fucking months.

I do agree with your first statement of people trying to wind others up with their obvious bating....i agree it’s not funny, but I’m very happy with people who put up possible takeover info, if they believe there might be some substance with the truth.....After all we all want the same result and a bit of optimism, however blind, hurts no one.

LV Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I’m absolutely not having a go at those who are desperate for good news and the takeover to happen. God knows, I’m one of them. Without it this club is dead. It’s usually pretty obvious I think when someone’s on the wind up. Just look at their posting history and it tells you a lot. Otherwise, there’s people on here who will call it if it’s an obvious wind up before folk get carried away.

There's literally fuck all to discuss when it comes to NUFC unfortunately though. Everything just comes down to Bruce is shite & Ashley is a cunt. It's not even worth discussing players or formations any more. You're correct to some degree, but a lack of talking points shouldn't have people acting like weirdos, or even idiots in some cases. Or being relentless about convincing/telling others what to believe or not to believe. Some people post more or less exactly the same thing over and over again, as if their point wasn't made a hundred times already. Some just say it to get a reaction..
