And I'm still quite skeptical, but I do wonder if it is true talks has been accelerated since the announcement of the scrapping of salary cap.
I'm probably talking absolute nonsense, but a theory nonetheless. |  |

The thing is, sometimes things on twitter ARE right. And it's not just randoes tweeting it either, but respectable and trusted people (as SomethingBlue posted the other day - the Football Acquisitions guy (or something like that) is to be trusted).
You can't assert there's definitely nothing happening. |

There certainly does seem to be a vaccum there, even in his early years there were people like Clegg, Milne, Symonds and even Milts to a certain degree, seems to be a dearth of experience now, essentially LON who by all accounts is doing the job of 3 people. |

....@PriceOfFootball.
He stated quite clearly that we are one of 8-10 clubs in the "possible" takeover category.
But that it's a long way off and we shouldn't get our hopes raised.
So yeah, sometimes twitter is right. |  |

So I guess we are now presuming his chirpy mood was either, he knew he was getting his payoff, or he was just happy with the performance.
I'm glad you are saying this Phil, when I read on Sunday evening that you believed he was getting a longer stay of execution, I felt sick |
Probably this

By all means say what you think but don't frame it like it's definitely true. You don't know. |

That SHOULD have been a comment along the lines of 'trouble is, Twitter rumours are utter boll0cks more often than they're true though'.
But then I decided I didn't fancy a ten page argument. | |

It’s not happening. Definitely not. |
So...you "definitely" know it's not happening right ?
I'm on the fence to be fair but quite like the thought of it all but....
If it's definitely not happening can you think of a logical reason why ME isn't coming out to quash any rumour and to put us all right ? |  |

OK so does that theory also suggest there's nothing in it ?
Doesn't really and I know you're not suggesting otherwise but ...my point being no-one knows the truth and the whole thing is dividing the fans even more so now when we should be digging in together
ME has a duty and he as ever decides to relinquish his responsibilities | |

All we have at the moment is one tenuous quote from Jim White, that's all that's behind this. I just see no reason to take him at face value when it's far more likely to not be the case. No one at the club's heard anything, Phil hasn't either, so for everyone to jump on one quote seems OTT, although obviously there's plenty of reason for wishful thinking.
Could happen, true, but I don't see it unless more reliable sources can back it up, preferably with some actual detail.
Edit: OTT, not OOT, which is what I wish Lambert would do. [Post edited 23 Feb 2021 13:01]

I think given Phil, Stuart and Andy have all said they have heard nothing can give us confidence that it's probably not the case, I know the lads on KOA said they need to do some deeper digging, but sounds like it's just twitter noise.
Of course, we need to find out from Dobbo to get the clearer picture. | |

Exactly. That and my team's still finalising our bid, so don't expect anything to be firmed up until June at the earliest. | |

One thing that makes me hope, which was mentioned in the podcast, is how badly Evans' other businesses must have been hit during the last year. At this point he may be willing to let us go for less than he would have in the past to concentrate on keeping his core business afloat. |  | | |

There is no takeover happening.
If people could just think with a really basic level of logic they'd realise this. I've said before and I'll say it again, I understand things arent good with the football club. I understand the lockdown having an impact on people.
But grown men getting all giddy because a couple kids on twitter started retweeting that there could be somewhere possibly at some point with no definitive timeframe a possible change of ownership is a bit cringeworthy.
Is there rich people who might be looking for a cheap football club? Probably - but it's incredibly difficult, nigh on impossible to make money out of owning a football club anymore, so you're then looking at either a complete idiot owning the club (similar to now) or an incredibly wealthy, passionate ITFC fan.
It's not happening. |  | | |

The caveat to that is someone said yesterday that they knew someone working for the group and said this past year has actually been very good for ME. | |

Again I am not saying you are wrong but everyone keeps using the term "using logic" but I don't see yours used here either with the greatest respect
Asking why someone would buy a football club because no-one makes money out of it is correct for the most BUT it doesn't stop people buying them ala Sunderland , Bolton etc
Feel free to use exact logic rather than assumptions and I'll jump on board trust me
Again for the sake of the argument I'm on the fence with it all because no-one can prove either way | |
