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.

Felt I owed it to you to find it:
ME: I'm not firing you Paul... by greyhound 20 Feb 2021 11:18From what I know it's possible the conversation could have followed that trajectory only with different future owners. Evans will have probably broken to lambert the terms of the deal.
From what I know regarding the terms of the deal it's another case of be careful what you wish for as Evans won't be leaving us without taking something with him important to the future development of the club.
|
In what way has he been "spot on"? In that thread he says we're selling 50% of the training ground to them. Where has this happened?
He also says, "Theres more to it as well but lamberts not going until handover goes through or falls through."
So that was wrong too.
You've been caught with your pants down and your little J2 hanging out. And I've wasted half an hour reading this thread of nonsense.
Can't believe some of you are so easily duped. I mean think about it - if the deal's done, why would they be waiting for Wednesday/Thursday to announce it?
Put your willy away, pull up your pants, and go and think about what you've done. | |

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. |
'... particularly as I can see about 15 players coming in.' So you believe there really will be wholesale squad changes in the summer - and the funds available to do that?
It would be good to have a proper reorganisation and rebalancing. I'm just surprised that (if Evans is still the owner) there is likely to be the budget to actually achieve that. |  |

I’m naturally highly sceptical.
But in the interests of balance:
- The searches on the land confirm there is some kind of split on any purchase.
- It is blindingly clear that ME was doing everything in his power to avoid sacking Lambert.
- If any deal is agreed you wouldn’t announce it until the funds have cleared.
So no reason to call BS at this stage. |  | | |

Presumably it will all be frees so, in terms of budget, shifting older players on high wages off the books should allow plenty of room for juggling? | | | |

- There is no 50% split as Greyhound said, that's all you need to know.
- ME hangs onto EVERY manager way too long.
- Why Weds/Thurs for the funds to clear? And how would Greyhound know what day the funds would clear by? And surely proof of funds would be part of the ratification process?
- And Phil says nothing is happening.
It's BS. I know people are desperate for this to happen, but look at the facts and get a grip of yourselves. | |

Bah Humbug
A bit of selective reading there?
Bet you don't believe in Father Christmas or the Easter Bunny? |  |

You got a link to where Greyhound posted this before anyone else? He certainly didn't start a thread on it (a quick glance at his posting history confirms that) and with such big news you'd think a poster would.
You can believe what you like mate.
Changing the subject, I have some magic beans. Do you want to buy them?
To answer your edit - feel free to also link where I was believing him before, because that didn't happen either. [Post edited 4 Apr 2021 9:26]

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). |
Worth saying that the club really hasn't said very much about this full stop. Indeed, the reason it was so hard to get anything related to it confirmed in the first place was so few people, literally one or two at the very most, knew anything about it. People around the club were telling me it was rubbish - officially and unofficially - because they genuinely didn't know anything about it. | | | |

Which, if any, of the senior out of contract players do you think Cook will try and keep? Just Bishop perhaps? |  | | |

You’re not asking me so beg your pardon but massive scale change of the playing squad has to happen, including and especially the high earners. Huws for eg has effectively already left. Joe convinced me we should keep Chambo but everyone else out of contract needs to go, plus the pointless loaners. I said 12 incoming a month ago but 15 may be more like it. |  |

If coming by information has been so hard as the number of people involved is so small, that must mean that everyones information could be wrong, including yours right? |  |

Sure, I agree. One of the manifest reasons Cook has been struggling is trying to put together from the current squad a team which can do what he wants.
I just thought it unlikely we would be able to, for budgetry reasons (barring a possible takeover and/or change of philosophy). | |

For what it’s worth, our BA account received a message earlier today from someone saying the same thing.
He requested we didn’t leak his name or any of the details in the message, but said it was just a case of dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. [Post edited 3 Apr 2021 22:27]

Smaller squad with youth players on the fringes, rather than senior pros and loan players.
That’s already a discussion that’s been had with himself and Dyer. |  |

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. |
