Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I've taken a few days to process the situation and I still feel a little uneasy about the group who have supposedly been given exclusivity. I haven't read the past ten or so pages, so some of this may have come up already. If it is Chiron Sports Group, their website notes they're funded by Apeiron ...

I wish I hadn’t said that Dunk was steady.
That was just an “‘ave it” moment … just welly it out of play and regroup

windermereROYAL Hopefully we can consign these three stickies to history at the middle/end of May.

WestYorksRoyal If John Percy's article is correct, the agreement was reached last week and not a single ITK knew about it :lol:

East Grinstead Royal The Russian never got beyond being a co-owner.


Still an owner after SJM


Owner with SJM.

My memory is a little more testing these days, but didn’t the club return to SJM’s full ownership when Zinga couldn’t complete the purchase ?

Re: England - the future....

Maybe he was taking the chance to test Maguire against a major football nation to see how much he could rely on him in big games going into the tournament. Personally I think Maguire is such an easy stick to beat Southgate with, he should have dropped him for a few games in preparation where the re...

Not Maguire Problem is that in the last few years when Maguire's not really been up to it, nobody else has been given a proper run of games to put forward a claim to the place. Can...

Re: On this day

WestYorksRoyal Funny we always show the picture of Doyle when the key goal was Asaba scoring against Watford.

Yep, we could have lost that day and it would still have been the day we were promoted

Exclusivity will be announced in the near future and apparently the new owners are rich and from somewhere overseas. All our financial worries will be over and we will be able to issue n...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Those small changes only swing it to about £160m lost in 6 years, from £190m. Not enough to prevent the mess, just delay it HTH. (But notwithstanding, we'd be much further from relegation if we had an extra £30m to pay wages and the taxman with right now) We wouldn't though because it wasn't real m...

The 2 most important things with ITKing are: 1. be a bit vague so as to try and claim something fairly unrelated announced in the future is exactly what you were talking about 2.

You just have to hope his rational self interest wins the day in the end. He gets nothing from the club if he doesn't sell. He's tried asset stripping and selling the training ground and it has failed. As difficult as he seems intent to make it, it really is in his best interests to sell. Agree wit...
