Who's your money on in the takeover 'battle'?

[davek]

I think you have unrealistic expectations of how quickly these deals are completed.

I know we should be hearing some news of progress.

If there's no news by the weekend I'm calling these yanks out as tyre kickers.

….i imagine there’s plenty going on behind the scenes. No communication doesn’t mean there’s no progress. We know Friedman says virtually nothing publicly.

It's not Dean Friedman mate.

 

[davek]

I've seen lots of WUMs trying to claim "it's off" on twitter etc

There will be things like due diligence to go through yet. It'll take weeks for that to happen

They won't give a running commentary on that either. As they'll be too busy with it

I thought the esk was forecasting a formal announcement imminently?

He can write what he wants. I'm not his spokesperson.


Like I said I was simply commenting :

Behave yourself Dave. This is a multi-million pound acquisition. Not a trip down to the local supermarket

What's being said in Twitter land?

Has he even been handed exclusivity yet?

I know us serfs aren't supposed to question like, but given the dodgy business model of Freidkin I think we should be kept up to date.

I'm a bit reluctant to post what the WUMs are saying as it just amplifies their WUMIng, doesn't it?

No news is good news in this situation. Because if there is any hint of anything being unacceptable. We'll know immediately. Buyer's prerogative not seller's

Too be fair mate, I think trying to scan a nob of ginger through a self check out is tougher than a multi million pound acquisition.

the dodgy business model of Freidkin

guy has arguably the most traditional business resume of anyone we've recently entertained as a potential buyer, our current owner and our owner before that

There's a balance for that built into the check-out

No, mergers and acquisitions are specialised. Why there are literally law firms and lawyers that specialise in it.

You’ve clearly never been shopping with my bird.

You think we should go down the multi-club ownership route and play second-fiddle to Roma and goodness knows who else when he adds to his portfolio?

I put Everton first.

Freidkin's model is a train wreck waiting to happen for us.

I mean this is just something people on here have completely made up in their heads.
