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.

Are you hoping this is true or that Evans stays and it's not true? |
I want the takeover to happen, very much so. I was excited by le2blues info at the beginning as to how the new people would shape the club - an actual CEO, marketing/commercial directors coming in. Sounded like proper people in proper roles. |  |

Only a matter of time before Lee Evans was linked, wasn’t it?
My guess is he’ll be followed by Che Dunkley (ex Wigan now at Shef Wed) and Gavin Massey. |
When the source of the story mentioned him I thought it was one which might have been expected, but it's more than just an obvious link from what I'm told. Yes, it wouldn't be a surprise if other players from his time there are on PC's list of potential targets, particularly as I can see about 15 players coming in. |  | | |

There he goes again. Popping my balloon! |  | | |

Even better with him (and Massey) being out of contract this summer. If Shef Wed get relegated I suspect Dunkley would be available for a cut price fee as well.
As you say, all change this summer indeed! | |

I remember being impressed with Massey playing against us ages ago, presumably playing for Colchester in a pre-season match. | | | |

FWIW, throughout this my source has consistently told me that the deal has never been off the table. Needless to say I wouldn’t reveal my source but put it this way he’s well placed to have a view on it. Just over a week ago he told me there were things still being worked through between both parties. He’s not suggested it’s as far down the line as Greyhound but I guess a lot can happen in a week. Equally he’s categorically said it isn’t dead, hence I’ve been saying as much on here. |  |

To be fair, I thought Evans looked good when we played Wigan the other day. Wouldn’t surprise me if we saw a few players PC has worked with in the past coming in, just as we saw Mick bring in a fair few of his old Wolves players back in the day. |  |

Indeed, managers recruit players they know and trust. | | | |

I thought Wigan were decent.
Lang, Evans, Johnston, Robinson would all start for us. The guy on the wing with the knee support, he looked about 11% fit and still asked a lot of questions. Wouldn’t know what their keeper is like of course, given he barely touched the ball.
They’ve got more about them than a number of the lesser sides I've seen at this level IMO. | |

Been confirmed that Johnston is being released by Feyenoord this summer, so would at least be free! | |

I didn’t realise that’s where he’s from, he’s not someone I remember seeing before. Just had a look, not surprised to see he was at Liverpool from a young age and now Feyenoord, he looked neat and tidy technically on what was a crap pitch, he’s clearly been well schooled. Hasn’t played much senior football by the look of things but on a free, and at 22 he has to be worth a look on that evidence. | |

He was at CB me as I took Forest Green into Europe in FM20. Sign him up. |  |

I don't think they still praise the training facilities anymore do they? Not since Evans let it run down anyway and all the spin cycles have 'Copleston High School' written on the side of them in a black Sharpie. |
Didn't the training ground get burnt down by protesters recently? |  |

She has in the past posted stuff on twitter which goes on to be correct (sometimes quite a while before things become public knowledge).
But then she is also known for tweeting stuff, and then taking it down after a day or two. |
It's very likely that nobody leaking to the general public has 100% reliable sources. Especially as the information may have passed through several sets of hands before being posted. Def info may look considerably less "def" a few days later.
Accredited journalists like Phil and Stuart Watson can at least go to the club for confirmation/denial - for what that's worth (e.g. the club may want to conceal something commercially sensitive, or to control the messaging). |  |

Love that someone reported Phil for abuse. :-) Trust Phil will apply the usual rigour.
Given that you are clear the takeover is dead, I wonder if it happens by midweek as per the OP, what with it being Easter and all, will it be named the 'resurrection takeover' in the coming years. |  |
