Of course I have no idea what it will entail...none of us have because no information has, or is likely to be, forthcoming until any potential deal is done. I'm not losing any sleep or getting frustrated by the amount of time it's taking, I'm just more interested on what is happening on the pitch right now because it's real and tangible...not ethereal.

oafcprozac Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I’m more concerned about the January window and who we get to keep. We’re three points clear of the relegation zone and without Bryan, Byrne and Doyle we’re going to struggle. Badly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll bring in Baxter to replace Byrne and, If Doyle returns to Preston, Duffus and Holloway will come good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If and when it does happen, it's not going to mean instant success on the football field. It's not going to mean multi-million pound star players queueing to join the club as it flies to the golden land of the Premiership. At best, it is going to mean long-term stability and a good foundation to build upon...maybe promotion in seasons to come...hopefully exciting times and football that fills the ground with happy supporters. It takes a long as it takes. What's the point in fretting and frustration when there are greater issues, such as re-discovering recent good form, to be concerned with? I don't think anyone think its some sort of magic wand, we've seen "big" teams with massive budgets struggle in this league over the years What it does offer is hope we might be able to keep hold of key players with futures in the balance so that we can watch some decent football this season and have some hope of being able to kick on next season. Without the take over its groundhog day of wages being paid late, HMRC raids, assets being stripped and the budget and attendances dwindling every year due to shite football that's hard to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 what odds the takeover goes through, we finish the stand and buy that better quality of player we all crave only for us to be relegated 6 months after Corney leaves? #TypicalLatics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my answer to yarddog 73...it's an opinion and a bit of guesswork. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check and feet on the ground. As CMR pointed out, big-budget teams have struggled in League One. More money does not necessarily bring success but I hope the potential investment does bring about a more stable period for the club to build upon to gain that success.

I don't see how I could, I know nothing. I hope he's got loads of money and goes mental in the January transfer window. Or is fronting for people who do. But I've no idea. Like all of us.

latics22 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I wasn’t going to say anything from the info I got about the meal with corney, there wasn’t anything new. But I saw someone ask if he’s fronting for someone else. He’s not, he’s buying it, he’s rich but not mega rich. Scholes would have been manager if wellens handnt done so well. He is buying 97%. It’s what we already new apart from the fact he’s buying it not someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
