oafc1955 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If it is imminent it’s more likely to be tomorrow or later in the week. Pretty sure that for something as earth shattering as a club takeover a press conference would be called as and when. Having said that it is possible that the press and media have already been made aware of it but have been sworn to secrecy, however, with all the moles within the club and all ‘them’ ITK I very much doubt that we’re possible!?

Potential for awkward questions at press conference. Expect to see lengthy article on website with all concerned expressing their delight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I suspect it’s going to be a massive disappointment to many when it happens. AL is not a billionaire so I can’t see he just going to throw all kinds of money at us as many on here think/hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Nah....they’d just avoid answering the sensitive questions as always. The press are usually pre-briefed anyway I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stability, with a bit of cash and a forward looking owner will do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s not fairly well wedged the whole thing would be pointless!!.....especially if the sale doesn’t include any of the land. I still think he will have backers behind him waiting in the wings.

However, I wrote this yesterday on another OWTB topic yesterday but it was probably more suited to this topic: " I’d like AL to have more money than Corney, obviously, but to be honest, if he has the same or less it’s possible he might actually know how to run a football club better than the clusterfuck Corney has resided over. Rather than strip it bare, make embarrassingly bad decisions and spend years alienating and backstabbing fans and a body of people like the Trust who want to help the club, maybe AL realises that if we all pull in the same direction than against one another, more can be achieved. That doesn’t cost money. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 One thing will defiantly happen if (my fingers firmly crossed it doesn't collapse) it goes through, the journos will get a press release possibly embargoed, so they will either state it outright or if it is embargoed give hints in advance, so we will know.

We won’t be signing Messi but we will be in a superior position than we are now - which admittedly wouldn’t be hard. That’s my understanding of it from what I’ve heard anyway. And no, I won’t be revealing any sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Doesn't there have to be a meeting/contact with the Trust before the takeover is done and dusted? Have they been sworn to secrecy as well? Don't anyone hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're hoping for a meeting as a Trust with AL soon but the takeover isn't dependent on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 No I’m not implying that. Does read that way a bit doesn’t it. What I mean is that we are clearly 99% of the way along and awaiting the decision from a panel of suits, one of the least likely people to be in on the decision making of that panel of suits will be a new signing at the club. Maybe RW told him that just to get him signed. Great work if so ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If the EFL reject the deal at this stage the club would be finished, simple as that....the fan meltdown alone would probably be irreversible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
