Oh 100%, I'm big enough to take it. Been peppered on here a few times tbh i think it turns me on
Had this happened back in March before WASPs went belly up, then I would have had more confidence in it, it just seemed opportunistic with the stadium potentially going to Ashley that it was a last desperate attempt to derail it. A £25m conditional offer, with no serious due diligence was seen by the administrator for what it was. IMO this hasn't got over the line because SISU/King haven't really got the appetite for it. could be wrong.
Absolute no idea, write a lot of reports for work WASPS doesn't seem rightJust out of interest, why do you call them WASPs ?
It might be the way forward for the club, but I can't see why it's in FG's interest to buy a business that swallows money, when they can sit back and rake in the rent. I dread to think what's going to happen when the licence is up for renewal.So why did FG buy the CBS, if it wasn't to ultimately own the football club. Only my opinion, but pretty sure they didn't buy it to rent out cheaply. We will end up paying more rent than we ever have before. Only way forward is for them to own us.
Today was gonna be the day that we’re gonna sell the club to you,And all the roads that lead me there are winding
"The King takeover has been waiting for EFL approval for several weeks but it’s understood that the football governing body has completed all of its checks and ratified the change of ownership."

After the 27 years I’ve watched the club for - id say they are….Why don't they announce it then? Are they fucking sadists?

You’re better than that

Turner got some shit last week for a misleading headline about Gyo being sold. He just plays dumb.
Better off just saying "I've got bills to pay".
Perhaps waiting for first transfer deal to be done and announce both at same time?

Actually, I'm blaming the typically shite level of journalism in the CET for the endless speculation and stress here.
More of this "it's understood that the EFL have ratified the deal".
Andy Turner et al, if you do read this, the CET has gone from a respected newspaper to an absolute clickbait rag that also has the ugliest user interface I've had the misfortune to deal with.
Presumably you trained as a journalist so you should know how to verify and report actual news - go tell your bosses that you'd like to try working as one for a change.
what tune would you sing that to ?We need something concrete this week, time is slipping away for signings to come in, my fear is it will drag on and on and then either gets the nod but too late to sign anyone decent, or fails and we have SISU as usual, so fire sale
I’ve got bills too-they’re multiplying. And I’m losing control.
Pointless, just announce it if it’s done. Put fans out of their misery.

Is that the best a man can get.Nick and his razor sharp wit on show again
undisclosed!can’t wait for King to be announced and the subsequent meltdown when Gyokeres gets sold for 3m on Friday
That’s what happens when you piss off the club in favour of a drop in rugby teamWe must have the worst local press coverage of any of the clubs in the Premier League/Championship
The Telegraph never get an ‘exclusive’ they’re always just piggy backing off stories other news outlets run, do they even get access to the players/manager nowadays? I know all that stopped when they publicly called for SISU to sell the club years ago but did they ever manage to build any bridges after that
Ray Donavon is an excellent series, if you've not seen it btw.
I may have this wrong, but my understanding was that MA had the administrators preferred bidder sown up by agreeing to pay the £1.2m upfront that they needed to keep the arena open. (selling as a going concern is the main task of an administrator) So that is why his lower overall bid was accepted. Not sure if that agreement was reached before or after the £25m bid, but I would guess just before. A smart move by MA in any caseHad this happened back in March before WASPs went belly up, then I would have had more confidence in it, it just seemed opportunistic with the stadium potentially going to Ashley that it was a last desperate attempt to derail it.

Think thats the the reason, the owners thought why should we interact if you write leaders that criticise and Turner got cold shouldered and offered the minimum.We must have the worst local press coverage of any of the clubs in the Premier League/Championship
