When will the takeover go through? The Waiting Game...

[Harry Bullocks]

I'm sorry what

That’s plagerism

 

[Tinks]

True, allegedly quite debilitating I’m told

It’s not pleasant I have to say but it is treatable

 

[Tribal Chief]

We need an UPDATE There just for you @Tinks

Any news @Tribal Chief ?

Haven’t heard anything mate. Negotiations ongoing. Ron being Ron. Still hopeful.

Off you go then…

This is the problem with our fanbase. So fractured. You’re asking one man to go to his house and cause carnage. What happens when a group of 5/10 people go on the pitch and protest? They get banning orders. What happens if 500+ people go on the pitch to protest? Absolutely nothing - because there’s strength in numbers.

I have personally been calling for action for years and it fell on deaf ears. But can you imagine the Millwalls, the Charltons etc of the world sitting in their hands doing nothing? Similar clubs to us who have a working class, local fanbase.

The Trust aren’t to blame for this mess, that’s for sure. But I don’t think they have painted themselves in the best light by the way by their reaction (or lack of). When it comes to someone of Ron’s nature, then sword is far mightier than the pen.

At least in these torrid times we keep a sense of humour on here.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Surely there need to be an official update soon.

I appreciate that it's sensitive but ...

RM’s biggest problem is RM himself. I’m not sure he knows himself what he wants. It’s like when you ask your wife what they want for dinner. One minute one thing is up for sale, work goes on that, then he decides he doesn’t want a curry, he wants a Chinese. You dig the menu out, write everything down, and then the Chinese is shut on a Tuesday. She doesn’t want a dominos/papa johns/pizza but, but wants a pizza from the kebab shop, but they don’t do her favourite pizza she normally gets from the chain restaurants. She looks through the fridge and freezer, then doesn’t want to cook, you offer but she doesn’t fancy anything you have. Soon, it’s 9pm and you’re both starving and revert to the curry, but it’s ****.

Whatever floats your boat.

 

[MikeLapper]

There’s only been one person bang on the money so far…..sadly it ForeverBlue.

I’m starting to think that Ron really doesn’t have any intention of selling to COSU.

 

[tommy tucker]

The problem is that it won't. He'll just have to wait awhile to cash in. Without the club he can develop RH which has planning permission on it already.

No he does not that was withdrawn And if the leader of the council is worth his salt He wont give the rat or anyone eles planning on rthe hall

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

You are forgetting this is Ron. He doesn't think rationally as a normal human would. The blokes thoroughly delusional. He needs a visible threat right Infront of him to act.

Like a barber with blunt scissors?

The Echo "Comments Section" is an even bigger cesspit than X/Twitter, which is saying something.

 

[SunSea&Shrimpers]

So then what happens now? No statement from the NL, negotiations still ongoing. Can’t be sitting there for 8 hours a day negotiating the same thing right?

 

[Richard Hearn]

At least you can “treat” a Penile Wart

Yes, you can. I treated mine to a fortnight at Pontin's.

Why not? He's been doing it for 8 months already...

 

[Danshrimper]

Why would there be a statement from the NL? We have lodged an appeal so there’s nothing for them to say until that appeal has been heard and a judgement on it reached.

I don’t doubt that this is an issue but it’s not RM’s biggest problem.

His biggest problem is that he owes millions and millions.

If he didn’t this deal would have closed ages ago. All the complications arise from the fact that he owes millions and millions and has no means to repay such vast amounts.

Part of the reason he keeps seemingly changing his mind will be because of his massive debts he is beholden to his partners and doesn’t have authority to change things (nor the intelligence to anticipate things). How many of the things he agrees then have to get changed because they don’t work for the Council, for CBRE, for Citizen Housing etc?

I still think he needs this deal.

I still think this deal doesn’t pass until it seems to first fall apart.

I just hope the delay doesn’t first kill the club.

 

[Shrimper]

At what point do the NL give up and chuck us out? It's a real risk

 

[tommy tucker]

As we all knew Eon martin is a lier a cheat And he has done the same to eveyone who has tryed to buy and save the club He strings them along He alowes them enogh rope Then he hangs them like a pupprt Mattin someone should take action against you If someone buys somthing in good faith They should be able to take court action against you fror what you have done
