Sorry to be such a bore. Got your joke and just felt compelled to add one of my own. Was never meant as a slight on yours. Very sorry if it has come across the wrong way.

RedSox Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 According to the DET this morning: "A decision on Rooney is unlikely to be made until a £60m takeover of the club is completed by Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan which is expected to happen in the coming weeks." What is behind the continued delays, I wonder?... No wonder people are nervous. Telling Wazza 24 hours for completion is poor, if there was a scintilla of doubt. Makes him - and the club - look like fools in the press.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may also mean there will be little money for Xmas window signings only window shopping. May be up to Wayne and Schteve to get the points necessary to give confidence that we are staying up. Let us all get behind Wayne. No takeover no manager other than Wayne for foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire your confidence that's it's WR's skills failing and not the the club's press machine; sadly not something I share right now. I think WR has said more than once he's been told it's imminent / 24hrs away, so I doubt he's recycling shiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of Interest, anyone think the appointment of Trevor Birch might work in our favour w.r.t. the EFL appeal, given he's a former DCFC Exec?

Clean slate, etc. Face saving move perhaps, he typed hopefully! It won't make a difference. We were only guilty of not stating the amortisation policy in the accounts (and being a bit sneaky about it to the EFL). We didn't fail P&S, so no points deduction. Worst case is likely to be a fine, resulting in opposition fans thinking we got a fine for failing P&S instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs press machine told us in the Nov 6 statement that: “There will be no further comment from either party until the transaction has completed.” There is masses of gossip/confusion about the timing, amongst journalists, agents, players, club employees, fans etc etc. Fair enough saying ‘who knows’, and I’m not itk. But there are all sorts of signals telling us what’s happening. So, yes I think it’s likely WR has naively recycled some of the gossip/confusion. And that now the club’s official line to him given the confusion he’s caused is ‘for God’s sake stop commenting on it’. The approach taken by RamsTV supports this - they do what the club tells them !
