Well, if it does happen then plenty of Sauvignon will be quaffed. | |

If there really is talk of a takeover on 08:14 - Feb 23 with 5471 views | The_Flashing_Smile | I'm not sure it would accelerate a sale (I'd have thought the cap would've accelerated, or ended, one if anything... they'd want to get it through and get us up before that restriction came in). It would certainly be a more attractive proposition to a wealthy consortium to NOT have that cap now looming. | |

Oh you meant accelerated talks coming about rather than accelerated talks already happening. Yes, I'd agree. | |

If there really is talk of a takeover on 09:23 - Feb 23 with 5188 views | MattinLondon | Unfortunately no takeover is in the planning be it advanced or in its early stages. We’re stuck with Evans who has sucked the joy out of the day since his first day here. The club has decayed since his arrival and will continue to do so. If he is still here in ten years time the stands will be considered unsafe to seat fans and the pitch will look like a weed infested park pitch. Every other aspect of the club will be much worse. | | | |

There are people not connected to the club saying differently. How do you know there's no takeover in discussions? Or is that a guess? | |

The fact that such talk is predominantly ‘Twitter rumours’ has led me to believe that it is complete rubbish. | | | |

I think the long and short of it for me will be WHEN perhaps ME comes out and blows this all up in our faces and tells us it's all bollox Until then , for me personally (glass half full) something is happening | |

What if you’d heard news a good few days before the ‘Twitter rumours’ and it came from someone with very close connections to the club. Would you be so dismissive of the suggestion then? | | | |
Unfortunately the whole "takeover" theory.... on 09:40 - Feb 23 with 5089 views | Bloots | ...can be nothing more than wishful thinking or at best an extrapolation of the fact that Evans has never denied that he'd sell the club, and undoubtedly has had various conversations with interested parties over the years. If there was anything concrete about it, then it would be far wider known than a few journos/twitter accounts/bored kids gossiping about it. Even with NDAs word would still get out if anything was imminent. The main reason that fans are giving it a bit of credence is entirely because they are looking for an explanation as to why Evans hasn't sacked Lambert. Well, there is a simple explanation really. 1. He wants to pay him as little compensation as possible 2. He doesn't want to look like a knobhead after giving him a long term deal and publicly backing him 3. He doesn't care about the club as much as we do Accept it, and pray that we are getting to the end of at least part of this sorry period for our club. The war isn't over, but one of the battles might be soon. Lambert out. | |

Depends on that person and on what level they are at at the club. If they were reliable and not prone at all to exaggeration and were close to where the negotiations were being planned then yes, I wouldn’t be so dismissive. | | | |
If there really is talk of a takeover on 09:42 - Feb 23 with 5052 views | Churchman | It’s a good theory and I can but hope, but I don’t think there will be any takeover. Who would want the club for the price Evans would demand? | | | |

And it's only really Jim White saying he's fairly sure, isn't it? Not seen anything more substantial than that. Like you, I just don't see it happening. The occam's razor approach would say that ME has bad form in pulling the plug on managers and that he's dragging his feet again, not much more than that. Of course I'd be happy to be proved wrong (dependent on any potential buyer) but I just don't see it. | |

Exactly. I presume as they are negations happening, people at the club legally wouldn’t be able to say anything and could risk their job if doing so. When people outside can say what they want as they have nothing to lose. [Post edited 23 Feb 2021 9:58]

"If there was anything concrete about it, then it would be far wider known than a few journos/twitter accounts/bored kids gossiping about it." Was that the case when Evans took over? I can't remember, but thought it was a bolt from the blue, even though it was known we were up for sale. | |

The battle may be close to winning, but as we gaze across the dead bodies that litters the field and see our glorious leader riding blindfolded, we realise that we have no confidence at all in winning the war. | | | |
