Quoted from Heisenberg


I take it you are joking?!! It’s great we’ll be steered in another direction by these guys, but we are currently in the most dire relegation trouble that I can ever remember.


I am a veteran of quite a few relegation battles now and the atmosphere is usually good with a new manager, some new signings, the importance of it and add new owners it would be packed and noisy.

Usually potential new owners let interested parties know what their plans are, what they hope to change to achieve this etc. This bunch have shared nothing. I am not sure what their motives are.

And sadly as a town fan, you don’t have to be very old to be a veteran of a few relegation battles!

Shared nothing except their vision for a new stadium on the docks and their vision for regenerating that part of town.

Quoted from DB


Stop losing you patience with me Diehard. I asked a question on a post from Jarmo as I was under the impression from his post that he knew something nobody else did. His posting was similar to that of yesterdays post about the take over happening in the next few days.

I have NEVER questioned the resources or business acumen of the consortium members, so why are you making out I did. Find one post where I have praised Fenty, so why imply I am a Fenty sympathiser.

You quote :- Responsible for developing Simply Business, Jason sets the challenge for defying the insurance company stereotype. From technology and data science to customer experience and people engagement, Jason has spearheaded our mission to create something better..

Is 'something better' for Simply Business, for another joint enterprise they have, for their GT project or something else.

Jarmo said But these 3 have future plans
, so my simple question is What are the plans?
It's a very fair question to ask given the statement from Jarmo. So you ask Jarmo the same question, he's the one making the statements.


I mean, why else would 3 wealthy businessmen, with local connections, want to take over?

It's public knowledge that they have plans for the club, and the town as well.

I come out with one rumour about the defender signing, which eventually come off (Meyenese), slightly delayed albeit.

I don't claim to have any inside knowledge at all, other than knowing someone who is known by majority at the club, but isn't directly involved in the club, other than being a fan.

Let's wait until there's something at least resembling a corpse before we start a post-mortem.

Wait and see, like the rest of us!

They need to take the helm before making more detailed plans.
