THE TAKEOVER IS DONE 20:38 - Apr 3 with 137730 views | greyhound | 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 09:08 - Apr 4 by The_Flashing_Smile | 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. |
Your strong stance has finally convinced me that the sale will definitely be happening. |  |

No. I've only downarrowed you. So where is this link to where greyhound was first with the news and where is a link to where I was believing him before? |  |

I'm not of one opinion or the other on this. Might be true, might not, we'll find out. But you're coming across as a bit of a co ck this morning and quite unnecessarily. Bad dream last night? |  |

THE TAKEOVER IS DONE on 09:24 - Apr 4 by The_Flashing_Smile | 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.

Dollers it is Easter; go and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, and eat some nice brown eggs. You've got 3 local posters on here (greyhound, CB and BA) saying there's something in this; when taken in tandem with King Muncher's comments, it's fair to say that this is slightly more than 'magic bean' chat. |  | |  |

He has coincided with the failure of this club over the past seasons. Not necessarily the same thing. Perhaps it might have been even worse without him? |  |

THE TAKEOVER IS DONE on 09:01 - Apr 4 by bluelagos | 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. |
I'm just about to ban myself. Not sure the takeover's entirely dead, I don't think I've ever said that, but it's getting towards that from what I've heard. |  | |  |

In what way am I being a co ck for posting the facts? It's not my fault if people can't handle it, but no-one has shown me any evidence of greyhound being legit on anything. |  |

Dollers, I've seen nothing to prove you are correct either. He might be right, Blue Action have heard similar. Equally it might be the same person feeding both BS. We'll find out later this week. No need for some of what you've been throwing about this thread. |  |

THE TAKEOVER IS DONE on 09:47 - Apr 4 with 2477 views | Muncher | From the club’s point of view it’s entirely possible that Marcus Evans is the only person that has any real awareness of what is going on, from a deal point of view no one else needs to even know. A few will have been involved in putting together the data room, but I don’t even think those at board level would necessarily know. If Evans is keeping his cards close to his chest the people that are best placed to have some insight, and be most likely to leak will be in the buyer’s side. No one will be waiting for funds to move on completion, their solicitors will already be in funds and if the banks are closed they will have given an undertaking to send it on Tuesday, which is as good as having sent the purchase money already. |  | |  |

I don't know who CB is and the thing posted to BA was probably by greyhound. Like Phil, I'm not definitely saying the deal is dead. I'm just saying greyhound hasn't proven anything. Why is everyone so hung up on this? It's like TWTD has been taken over by Trump followers. J2's 'proof' linked a thread where greyhound hasn't got anything right! You want me to go away because none of you can handle facts, it seems. |  |

THE TAKEOVER IS DONE on 09:29 - Apr 4 by Cheltenham_Blue | 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? |
I was talking about people at the club in the post and my info hasn't come from people at the club. Always scope for sources being wrong but mine have been good on this so far. Things like ME wanting to keep part of Bent Lane were shown to be correct from the Land Registry searches. I was told it had stalled and on the timescale which was originally outlined it would have been done by now. |  | |  |

I guess though, if done. They might wait until after Easter to officially announce? Lots of staff on extended weekends that this might affect and will need to be told before a press release etc. |  |

THE TAKEOVER IS DONE on 09:28 - Apr 4 by Beckets | Which, if any, of the senior out of contract players do you think Cook will try and keep? Just Bishop perhaps? |
He was one I was thinking might stay but difficult to tell what PC thinks of individual players. I think he's made it clear he's not been massively impressed with what he's inherited. |  | |  |

I agree to a point but it’s also true that if we didn’t have Chambo we would need to get someone like him in ASAP. 2 new CB this summer though with Chambo floating around as back up in a couple of positions and as cover for the inevitable 18 month injury one of our new signings will surely incur. |  |

Hahaha, as I've been told myself, you can't prove a negative! Ok, so we've established I didn't believe him before - you just threw that in in desperation. Now how about the other link - you said he was first with takeover news, you can surely link that right? I haven't said the deal's not happening at all. I've said nothing greyhound has posted has any evidence behind it and you're all getting hung up over nothing. |  |

Odd isn't it, that we've been told over and over by various club employees how good our squad is, and once Cook comes in, that message seems to be changing. |  |

THE TAKEOVER IS DONE on 09:22 - Apr 4 by PhilTWTD | Yes, I think most of the squad will go and PC will bring in his own men. Squad will be much smaller so that ought to free up some cash to help bring players in, although there are going to be loads of frees in this division this summer. |
We need a massive clear out with almost all (I would keep Bishop) out of contract players and loans going. But we don't need 15 in Phil as that is what caused this issue in the first place. We have plenty of young players to make up the numbers/bench, likes of McGavin, El Miz, Dobra, Baggot, we just need 4 or 5 QUALITY signings to address the issues in the first 11. This is L1, we will be in L1 next year (no chance of winning the playoffs even if we make it) your bench should mostly be kids. New GK KVY Wolf Chambers/Baggot/new CB New LB Downes Doz Bish Lankester New CF New LW Thats it. Targeted, specific, well thought out recruitment, not just signing a load of squad filler dross to make up a 30 man squad. |  | |  |

If people are allowed to start these threads and agree with them then I'm allowed to post the other side. People are getting carried away. Should that be just left unchecked while there is no evidence from greyhound? Phil is also saying nothing's currently happening. Why aren't you having a go at him? |  |

Cook wasn't responsible for hiring (or retaining) any of them. |  |
