[jamieni]

Reckon there will be more twists and turns to this than a twisty turny thing.

Well we are in the stickiest situation since Sticky the sticky stick insect go stuck on a sticky bun.

"My understanding"

He's been told what to tweet ffs

Assuming that TFG get it over the line do we expect Dyche to be bulleted straight away like that have just done at Roma with Di Rossi?

Textor said he would fund transfers in January, what do we think TFG would do / what's their track record on taking over Roma?

Hopefully it'll go something like this

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Dan at the backpost!

 

[Neiler]

You should believe in him Neiler, he belives in you!

Dan, Dan hes our man, if he cant do it Textor can!

Don’t be ridiculous

Ridiculous? We were looking to sign Gnonto and a few others but when the deals fell through as we didn't have the cash to proceed that we thought we would, that's just for starters. DCL said the uncertainty at the club is part of a reason he hasn't signed a new deal and when a player doesn't appear fully committed that creates further problems throughout the squad.

Then let's get to the real big reason, at the moment Dyche has no one applying pressure on him, you think Friedkin wouldn't have fired him by now?

 

[jamieni]

It will depend where we are in the table whenever a takeover completes. You're probably looking at a couple of months minimum before anything would be completed and approved by the PL.

I'd imagine we could be around the half way mark of the season at least before this deal could be completed

Although could the club risk lashing a few quid in January in the knowledge that the deal is almost certain to complete?

 

[Victus]

This is more like it.

 

[Nymzee]

Giulia getting some of the scoop, Damo must have a rock on right now.

 

[catcherintherye]

I expect TFG to take over, and them to be good owners.

I did hint at that previously.

 

[Drico]

Roma's CEO resigned yesterday after being verbally abused and threatened over the sacking of De Rossi.


Bring her over here Dan, there's won't be any of that from our fans for sacking Dyche after losing the first 4 games of the season.

Oh, I can think of a few who would put her in a headlock, such is their passion for ineffective austerity football.

Big Dan personal net worth of £7b apparently.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Just a shame he messed us around at the first attempt. I think the uncertainty helped fuel this miserable start.

Agree with this. Doesn’t look good. This should have been done weeks ago. What’s different now?

He didn’t mess us around. During the period of exclusivity they found something which meant that they couldn’t legitimately go through with the purchase. Even if he has gone through with it, there’s not a cat in hells chance it would’ve positively affected our spending power in the summer. DCL wants out anyway, regardless of the situation.
