RE: Takeover - YamYam - 01-12-2024
Maybe we're getting both - the dodgy Egyptian as owner and the Patels as new sponsor/developers of the hydro-pool (due to their history in healthcare).

So, is this really just a way that MSD get control and that explains why they even loaned us anything? Sounds a bit dodgy to me!

Knocking the door but have been told to toot and come in.
RE: Takeover - NewWanker - 01-12-2024
From excitement at sporting pedigreed rich guys, to this... are any of us not claiming ITK, really surprised that it is now seemingly very underwhelming?
it's Fosun / Wanda >> Lai all over again.

MSD won't have any control. It was always going to be the case that they'd tout us to potential new owners as that helps them get their money back more easily.

Given there was never any credence in the names mentioned previously, you've only got yourself to blame if you find yourself disappointed at the reality of the situation.
If underwhelming equals, the ability to offer key players new deals, stave off the pending threat of administration and put a little bit of money back into the infrastructure of the club - I'd say that's a roaring success.

Aye you're not wrong, that's what reading and buying into the ITK bollox on here gets you.
Hopefully your version of underwhelming isn't teh same one I'm getting as i'm getting Lai Mk2 vibes.

I'm not underwhelmed, if it turns out to be the Patels. Stinking rich, track history across multiple sectors, builds from broken, connections to the community, long term dream of owning a football club.
OK, so sporting experience would have been platinum level but, truthfully, could we have wanted much more?
RE: Takeover - wba13 - 01-12-2024
I’ll ask then why are there still Three people in the running, when we were told that a deal was ready and that we were waiting for the announcement. Must admit there is some real bollocks going round on all social media sites.
I’m beginning to wonder if we will be sold at all.
