Phil, is there any news on the takeover?

With all due respect I'm not sure what yourself and others would be expecting whilst presumed searches and checks are underway

With suspected NDA signed and a lot of legal stuff I don't understand to be fair , I like many others have to take on board what we know..and for now that's as much as the next man

The easiest and most effective way to deal with this for your own sanity AND others is.....let it ride and be patient


No news is maybe good news then? I am concerned because I have been taken in by stuff on the internet before (I have autism so struggle to understand when I am being joked with or misled sometimes especially on text) and I get my hopes up and it turns out to be a hoax and I feel awful and a fool.

Phil - perhaps you should to a news story that simply says

"Takeover - No News Today"

move on


and then in future years the 'on this day' feature can say 'No takeover news today'

Will that include any halftime substitutions?


If Sitters left it until 14:55 he could probably post all the substitutions, any bookings, dismissals and the result too...

This is meant to be helpful and supportive.

You seem to be appearing on every thread desperate for an update. One will come, if and when necessary. Maybe log off for a while, go for a walk in the fresh air. I know a few people with autism and you seem to be getting yourself a bit wound up and anxious, which isn't good.

Chill and do something else for a bit.

Take care.

Which is why I have replied the way I have to try and help

None of us know what's happening BUT if you're like me and look at the facts as we know them as per my previous replies. It certainly seems something has happened . Now whether this process continues , nobody knows only ME himself and any intended purchaser

All I would say is , keep the faith , don't get hung up on it ,we've got a new manager , the boys are on a great run...and kick off tomorrow is at 1pm before you ask

Like you say...no news is definitely good news in this instance

Best way to think about it; there's nothing any of us can do in regards to this deal, so worrying about it makes no difference. If it goes through great, if it doesn't, then shame, but its life. What will be will be

I'm sure Phil will update us all when there is something worth sharing, in the meantime maybe try and focus on something else, like us thrashing the gills tomorrow!! :) COYB

I hope no-one posts the team at 12.00, a full three hours before kick off. Phil's return from the wastelands will be very short lived.


If ITFC don't kick off till 3pm, they will 100% certainly get 0 points

Def info.

Christ alive, I wonder how some of you lot would have coped in the days before Twitter and 24 hour rolling news. Even in the season we could sometimes go for days with no ITFC news ANYWHERE bar some idle speculation about the line up in the EADT/Star.

When I lived on the Orkney Islands back in the 90s, and there was barely any mention in Scotland of even the top division in England, I remember having to phone Middlesboro FC, who we were competing with for promotion, for the result of one of our games! They were really helpful & supportive :)

Even if it doesn't go through don't feel a fool. First off there is definitely something in this although that does not mean it will complete. Secondly if people out there are sad enough to get people worked up for no reason that's on them. Thirdly I and many others without autism will have been equally taken in!

Hope that's helpful!

It doesn't help that the pubs are shut. We could just go out and have a few and worry less.

Ironically, it was called "Soccerline". A future indication?
