THE TAKEOVER IS DONE 20:38 - Apr 3 with 137733 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.

If this is actually true, the number of people apologising to greyhound here will be bloody hilarious.

Gonna be a big old humble pie to go round.


There should equally be a hilariously large number apologising to those of us calling it nonsense if it's not true!

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

By not believing something you can just ignore it rather than use it to try to score some needless points.

There's lots of things I don't believe so don't bother myself with.

I don't follow them around hoping for some sort of recognition.

You never did answer my question, although I'm not sure I asked it to you directly - why, if all this was done and dusted by Saturday (or even sooner, that's just when you announced it), are they waiting for today or tomorrow (some 4 or 5 days later) to officially announce it?


That isn’t a tough question to answer to be fair. Nobody comes out of final negotiations and announces a deal has been done, everything would remain confidential until agreed to go public.

Yeah, but it was pretty satisfying to get one over on the Mayans when the world didn't end.

Phil's silence is deafening, he's online too! Surely he would've shot this down before now as he has done fairly quickly with most posts of this fashion recently.

It's not about winning the internet, it's about upholding truth as the thing we should all seek.

If greyhound is right then those who posted it was nonsense should definitely apologise. But equally if he's wrong, those of us who didn't believe and received dogs abuse from the believers, should also get apologies. Just seems right and just to me. You can't have it only one way.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Pure and utter speculation/guess work but the delay could be due to the fact that the deal is done and the Americans had to fly in for the announcement

Just a thought...and wishful thinking

In all honesty the timings would work, and are plausible.

Assuming the deal was finally agreed on the Friday or Saturday over Easter, the Banks/Solicitors would not be back to work until yesterday, to receive the funds or complete the legal paperwork.

Usually with house purchases (know this is slightly different) solicitors usually ask for funds the day before completion to ensure that there are no hiccups. It is common practice for a solicitor to request the funds from a bank on a Thursday, ready for completion on the Friday.

The idea that people who serve up abuse through snidely, belittling comments, should receive apologies for receiving abuse is an interesting concept that I have no interest in elaborated discussion with you on.

Never been involved in a takeover but plenty of sponsorship deals. It takes time to agree the press release, sort out photo shoots if needed, line things up with the right media outlets etc.

This is a bit different though. ITFC is something I care about. And I want people on here to engage their brains with the so-called info they're being fed, yet I've had abuse for it because people so desperately want to believe it's true.

I don't believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden... but I'm not invested in them!

After the grief I've got I'll be expecting apologies... just as I will be more than happy to dish them out if indeed greyhound is correct.

Apparently when a doomsday cult's moment passes they usually find a reason to continue believing regardless. One decided that the reason the world didn't end (saving only them) was because of their belief and that they had therefore saved the world.
