Is it over or ongoing..still…?

I'm assuming ongoing until there's an announcement that says otherwise.
I am curious to who's committing to paying wages etc with players coming in though.

Nothing to see here- even the alleged alternative bid that was getting a bit chirpy, has gone to ground.

The Rajanator clearly fancies one last dance.

Should we have a poor start, fail to get into the First Round Proper of the FA cup and have sacked the manager by early November (the norm), only then will the dust be blown off the takeover papers and DD will begin once more.

On the other hand in the unlikely event (going on recent history) that we have a reasonable start, Make it to at least the first round and SG still at the club- then it will be mothballed for the foreseeable.

As I said, nothing to see here until bonfire night!

Based on incoming and outgoing I’d be amazed if our wage bill isn’t a lot lower than last season, just my opinion as oppose to having any information.

The silence is deafening.
A strange situation for sure.

As fans we can only speculate and even that's gone underground with the L carry on.


My take if its allowed :

Only 49% of the club up for sale.
Maybe a drip feed more over a 2 year period hence the 2 yearers getting handed out.

It's not very professional like to run a business and keep customers in the dark.

Better leave it at that.
Probably get deleted by lunchtime.

When a manager was appointed and players were being signed I wondered if this indicated the takeover had arrived……then it slowly dawned on me it was business as usual.
Another season of entering the Grand National on Delaney’s Donkey loomed…..?
Another season swinging at anchor, the only movement being going around in circles…?
I’m normally cautiously optimistic at the start of the season, but for the first time I find myself resigned to getting it over asap and hoping we stay in tis league because there’s not a flicker of hope inside me over the coming months.
A damp fog of despair seems to be on both my shoulders and I can’t shake it off

I think it's still ongoing but it's going to be a long long process with Raj being major shareholder for at least the next couple of seasons.
Surely if the Herd Group bid was dead there'd have been an announcement to say as much without giving details or reasons, can't see how that could be in breach of any non disclosure agreements?
Agree this is probably the worst close season in decades in terms of looking forward to next season with any kind of excitement, it's down to blind hope now.

You really do hate Pools dont you!!

We on a life support machine.

Id say his quote is 99.9% nailed on.
How does hatred of Pools come into that?

He just seems to have a go at every opportunity!!!

Never says anything good about Pools!!!

Just maybe his posts are to honest

not long adter he arrived he was asking for extra investment from people to help him run the club. think you are corrct in saying 49% of the club is for sale. think it always has been, but nobody are prepared to hand over cash for someone else to have a final say.

If we've been taken over by Saga does that mean Steve Howard's time has finally come?

Maybe its all just a fishing exercise looking for a mug to come along and make a daft mega offer......allegedly.

When Singh tried to sneak back in at Darlo he attempted this 49%/51% ruse.

Anyone considering this idea to be a goodun must be mad.

No just hate what we are turning into , where every season seems to somehow manage to be worse than the last and i suspect this upcoming season will follow that trend
We seem to be in a doom loop and i can see things getting dramatically worse this year.

I’m past the stage of mindless optimism, i almost convinced myself in the Hartley season we had some sort of master plan where we were tapping a market other clubs weren’t as looped into and we were going to shock the division ….am not going to be that stupid again !

It’s like going on a cruise on the Regtanic where one lot of passengers are less than
happy with the food, the ship, the owners and crew…and some love it, they like the rust, savour the microwave food and have again decided to give yet another brand new crew a chance….
Time for a quick chorus of ‘ For those in peril on the sea’!
