Could this be true?

http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/ ... _takeover/

I don't know why but Chris Turner springs to mind

Just hope its true.

Will the ior lovers boycott the games now ha ha ha!

I hope not.... otherwise Russ Green is still in a job!!

I've heard the same via two messages, one saying Hodcroft is gone!!

Ding dong the witch is dead!

Sheffield based company, Chris Turner involved.

I think people are just putting 2+2 together with the Turner thing. I reckon he's happy where he is.

Nowt to do with turner

Please god let this be true and ior are gone

This would be an early Christmas present, especially if it somehow involves Hodcroft's public castration in Church Square...which should be in the small print...

If Turner is involved, id be absoltely gutted.

I got a message from a good source saying Turner is returning so we'll see!

Just hope the Hodcroft gone bit is true.

Well Turner did say he would never return if Hodcroft was here.

Didnt Turner and Green have a consortium lined up before and they turned out to be crooks or something?

Lucifer himself would be an improvement on Hodcroft & Green...

Why??

As long as it's not as manager, the bloke has always had the club at heart and some ambition for it. You've got to remember he was working with Hodcroft as well. What would be a better alternative Hodcroft or Turner?? No fucking brainer for me.

...really trying to focus on the 'Hodcroft gone' part of all this. Nice.

Surely they will splash the cash in january!

I dont mind if he is nowhere near the dressing room etc with no influence at all on the team or transfers. The guy is a born loser.

So who owns the Shearer picture? Ken or the club?

I so hope the owners let Muttley bash it to pieces with his dildo!

Not getting my hopes up until something official is announced.

I haven't been on here in a while but this looks promising

The staff have been told, it's on Sky in the Echo and the Mail. I reckon this one is true!

Dual announcement later. New owners and Ronnie Moore.

Boxing promoter Dennis Hobson heads consortium to take over the club!

Whose he?

Him who used to present New Faces on the telly in the 70s???

...beats Christopher Timothy I suppose.

Same group as last time?

“I was part of a consortium that almost took over Wednesday a few years back. That would have been awesome. It wasn’t an ego thing where I wanted to be chairman or anything like that.

“I just wanted to help and I was in a position to put in a million or two. I also have the contacts that can make things happen.

“It was only right that the fans should have some say. They are the ones who care for a lifetime.

“The sadness is that at the top level it’s all about money these days. The game has lost its soul.”

The opportunity to have a direct input into the fortunes of Wednesday having passed him by, Hobsonwas fleetingly involved on the board of ScunthorpeUnited recently, but guarantees made upon appointment weren’t kept and that was it.

Bring it on!

...and FUCK YOU HODCROFT!

Same guys as last time. I knew a source at the club around that time who was VERY excited at what they were promising to do with the club.

I'm too excited n distracted to do anything other than check the boards n twitter today.

But does this mena we have nothing to protest about???

Any of you twitter types asked Turner or this Hobson fella if we can smash the Shearer picture yet??

This has made Christmas for me! Relegation might still be somewhat inevitable but now we could have a future to look forward to at least! They're making ken pull 'an IOR company' out of every shirt with his teeth before he leaves, that's the reason for the delayed announcement

I'm in meetings after lunch so can't check anything until 4pm !!!!

Bye Hodcroft.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

Bet GeoffN is gutted.

You just know he is still going to have some more digs and the final word etc.

The question put to people was "What do you think you'll achieve with protests?". It seems even the threat of protest got things moving.

Well done to everyone concerned.

Great news hope we see all this FFP is bollocks

Will these new owners actually tell us stuff?

EXACTLY!!!!

Even if they tell us the time that will be an improvement!!!!

Hodcroft must of got wind of the 30 foot banner me n mutley were gunna make on friday.

Happy days best result of the season

Presuming Ken etc are at the club right now sorting this out, take it down there now!
