THE TAKEOVER IS DONE 20:38 - Apr 3 with 135573 viewsgreyhound

Happy Easter one and all.

Hold on to your hats and refresh every 5 minutes throughout Wednesday and Thursday, the deals been done and completion confirmed.

As Paul Cook hinted we are in for a very exciting summer. Its dragged on but now we can focus onwards and upwards.

THE TAKEOVER IS DONE on 23:09 - Apr 6 by The_Romford_Blue

Hmmm it’s an interesting one as I currently don’t plan to renew (predominately because I’m rather hopeful I’ll be living in a house, potentially in Scotland). Evans has angered me to the extent where I cancelled way back (the week Phil was banned to be specific).

I think I mocked the idea that the fans should suffer by not doing something they enjoyed just because some bloke is running the club and doing it badly. However, I’ve then realised this year that I don’t miss it that much and it’s for the greater good if it influences Evans out even if just a slight bit.


Agree it's for the greater good but at the same time I don't think anyone is asking those who enjoy it/need to go to give it up. I'd never even suggest it to the likes of Troy for example. Just people who have had enough and want to do it.

Hopefully tomorrow this is all irrelevant and we can celebrate...

I just can't see, and no disrespect to the OP

but, how on earth, this can even be true about it happening this week, with no whisper to Phil's contacts, nothing from the American journalists etc either and nothing from our own tabloids

Unless the Op is besties with Evans himself, I just can't see it happening without more people knowing.

Because some things the press find out, and others they do not find out.

Someone involved in ratifying a deal would likely not have any contact at all with the press sources, or even any interest in the football side of things.

I would like to propose this, if this thread ends up being a load of boIIocks, and I think it is (sorry OP, nothing against you or your sources - I just have a strong gut feeling on the takeover and always have)

Then can we ban all talk of this takeover crap. It's clear winding a lot of people up, true or otherwise, and in some cases making it very difficult for people to support the club as it stands. Also, if the takeover talk is complete waffle, and people get upset in mass - then our ST ticket sales may take a pelting.

This whole takeover saga is a very real and dangerous wind up for the club, if it is indeed a wind up.

I just wish I had the amount of "spare" time to spend speculating on what may or may not be true that some people obviously have, when we'd all know the answer for definite one way or the other in a matter of mere days anyway!

Renewable energy companies looking to source power supplies for free should certainly take a look at all the surplus energy & hot air going unharnessed on this forum!

I'm thinking it's a fake.
We've been cursed for decades.
Even with Cook - who I'm happy with - we aren't going anywhere soon.
There's no takeover.
Stop getting your hopes up.
We are a dead and dying club.

Happy Xmas

Reputable journalists need multiple sources to go to print with a story. That same benchmark obviously doesn’t apply on a football forum. Journalists may also be subject to an embargo - they have the information early as a privilege but they are unable to run the story until a specific time.

very true, and I suppose Philip would be under the same Embargo to, and if he replied with " can't say" then it makes it obvious,

Guessing the club have recruited a few ex-players to use their social media to help flog the latest dead horse.... sorry, season ticket sales campaign.

“A new dawn” sounds like the sort of tripe they have come out with when releasing packs for the last few years....

Believe it or not. There are some ex players who loved being at Ipswich and still want the club to succeed!
