UNOFISHYLEE CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

[leon]

This. I swear they're just doing it to bump the thread and get people's hopes up.

Genuine question Pepe, what are you expecting to happen on a Friday afternoon/Saturday morning immediately after we've just had an update and extension from the FL because nothing is imminent?

What I actually really want is a load of provincial simpletons demonstrating their increasingly tenuous grip on reality with a series of invented fantasy scenarios.

So yeah this thread is right up my street.

[Brogue]

Woah there you can’t just swagger on to the team board and slag off my 400 pager. Keep your nose out of it. It’s on track to be a record breaker

Aha now we see the evil genius behind this farrago of poorly constructed strawmen.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

can you tedious cnuts stop just posting argumentative and irrelevant bollocks, I keep checking in thinking something has happened, but no, it's just the Team Board dullards.

This. I swear they're just doing it to bump the thread and get people's hopes up.

Agree - its often the same argumentative, trying to win a point posts from the same 3 or 4 all day so just check in to this thread once a day now.

If anything tangible happens it will be on twitter first anyway where I get a notification.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Yup, we have so many ‘experts’ on here

….and they used to say that an ‘expert’ was somebody who was 32 miles from home….but I’ve never understood that reference either

My nephew and another good friend in a senior position at the club still have jobs, that’s all that matters…..and yet they haven’t got a fukcing clue whats going behind the scenes either…..

Stop speculating, guessing and assuming, just give us facts…Team Leon, no reeeel facts? no posteeee

Go suck on a Cuban etc etc

Thank you

Whilst I agree with everything you’ve said I think you’s lot are naive that people wouldn’t want to talk about it.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Talk away by all means, but for those of us looking for actual pertinent news, this has become tedious.

Create yet another thread to display your lack of ‘in-the-know’ yet ‘knowing’ everything thread……that’d be nice for the rest of us

Meanwhile it’s

Just the same old same old ifs, buts and maybes…..pretty much as it has been for two years

I have recently been wondering, when the takeover happens how do I want to find out?

I often listen to Talksport during the day so I could hear on there

Twitter is blocked at work so unless I see it on there during a break it shouldn't be via that route

It could be on HNA as I do check here quite regularly during the day (this is how I'd like to find out)

Is there any chance the Club would email out to their loyal supporters before announcing it on their website

Or will Trev from work phone me as it's been announced on BBCRB and that's the station he's tuned to

What about you?

I think the chap who did Bushwatch should bring it back for a special. Suddenly we see Platek or Couhig entering the building. Followed by Pang and Howe leaving with a bin liner each of their belongings.

Bushwatch could also be streamed live on YouTube these days so if you have access to that at work, everyone is a winner.

All we need to find the man. Is he still stuck in a bush?

Looking forward to reading the in depth book, someone will no doubt write about this, once it all gets sorted.

Also, worth a look , if not already mentioned through the recent pages, but check out Mike Gow's (@mikeygow) latest mega thread about Dai Young on twatter. It really explains the cluster that is Dai, how he's gotten into this mess and the known eye watering numbers involved, which would appear to be the tip of the iceberg. In any other world Dai would be doing bird. I suspect that may well still happen for him.

Finally got around to reading this and the two points at the end are interesting and salient.

1. Any prospective buyer needs to make sure that the club & assets haven't been used as collateral by DY in jurisdictions outside of PRC - that's a whole liability issue to be factored in

2. The due diligence information collected by prospective buyers could be used as leverage against DY - as he won't want PRC authorities to get hold of it.

This last point may be the piece that is making the 'seller more motivated'...

Apologies for not bringing anything new, but I hadn't seen this detailed and seems interesting and relevant

X is an unknown quantity

[AthleticoSpizz]

Yeah

…and I appreciate that the whole point of HNA is to converse, bitch, peacock, argue and stuff, but please please please, can we just the one thread here that gives us proper news (given our volatile situation) and doesn’t do any of the aforementioned?

Leon's a miserable toad anyway

[The Royal Forester]

The title of this thread (at the moment, anyway) does not mention latest news, so surely it is a general discussion thread, isn't it?

[tmesis]

Yeah

In fairness, if the the thread only contained proper news, it'd be 2 or 3 posts long, at a push.

That wouldn't necessarily be a terrible thing. I always see it as a but like a chat down the pub, where some people will say things just about worth saying, and there'll be other people where you just think "ffs Dave, put a sock in it"

[AthleticoSpizz]

Yeah

yeah, fair

It’s all got a bit predictable and repetitive tho’

Again, just like the past two years of ‘negotiations’

Maybe, we should do the ‘actual news….no opinions thread’?

Crack-on guys….Leon has evidently ‘left the building’ anyway

[leon]

Yeah

thought i'd check out how the sale was going and there's a 2 pages of debating leon's posts

[Snowflake Royal]

oxf*rd sake leon, I thought something had happened.

[Brogue]

Yeah

The floor is yours. Last time I checked your account has the ability to start threads.

I miss SDR’s unique ramblings.

[From Despair To Where?]

.....and his obsession with Gary Alexander.

[stealthpapes]

Was SDR the 'get rid of Pardew before the Brentford game because he won't win it, bring in ***** (who I can't remember)'

Then spent the close season saying he was right because we drew the game.
