Ramfan1958 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 With the present position in the table will they back out ? Surely they won't finacally get involved if we looked or went into Div 1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I’ve never been convinced it’s going to go through, and I’m still not. We’d better hope it does though. Otherwise Mel will definitely appoint Rooney as we won’t have the funds to bring in anyone external, and that will condemn us to League One imo.

Steve How Hard? Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 We'll still be in the same state of limbo. Mel has laid his cards on the table and obviously wants out. A buyout seems the only way forward unless a silent partner steps forward to invest, allowing Mel to continue in his current role. I realise scenario 2 is highly unlikely.

For sure our recent run of poor form cannot have come at a worse time for negotiations from Mel Morris’s financial perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it would be tough and we would certainly be looking at 1st Division football if we arent already,what ever money is available come January it all needs putting in to a goal scorer for sure,yet again yesterday we looked pretty with no end product I also dont like the look of the table at present we are 6 points behind Forest and only 4 teams below them one being ourselves,if this does not change and change quickly we are looking at any 3 from those four for relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTom92 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 We'll be playing League 1 football and Mel will go down as one of the worst owners in the clubs history. He won't be 3 amigos bad and at the moment I'm still a fan of his but as the saying goes "You either die a hero or live long enough for you to become the villain". The last I checked Mel's still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 If the takeover collapses we have to consider why Mel is selling. If he doesn't have the funds left to keep going then we'll go into administration and be owned by MSD Holdings If Mel doesn't want to keep investing but still has the funds, I would imagine that he'll hire a new manager and run things on a shoestring until he can find a new buyer. It's also not impossible that Mel might give it one last shot as he's looked over the edge and hated what he's seen. He could hire a manager with a remit to get promotion asap - all Mel's appointments have been about building for the future, developing youth and playing pretty football. He could fund it to the maximum allowed and hope pragmatism, rather idealism, would get the desired results. It's also possible that Mel wants to sell for non-financial reasons. Maybe he just can't put the time or effort in for much longer. He could then hire a Chairman to run it and just keep things at arms length. Only Mel really knows why Mel is actuals selling.

alexxxxx Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Tbh when I found out who was involved in the takeover I thought it had red flags so wouldn't be surprised if it fell through. Until the ink has dried nothings a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
