Fancy being at one of his businesses when its open and not at the other one that wont be open at that time...he's got plenty wrong over the last few years but not sure this is one of them.

Still up at 1am at his age was the surprising bit.

That's not unusual for him, I understand he's normally uncontactable in the mornings because of the late nights he does

Standard casino trait - the exworked 4pm till 4 am most days andon call at night at the weekend (which might be why she is the ex...). I did learn a lot / make contacts in the industry though

Is the rumoured take over dead and buried now?

I sincerely hope not mate, as in its current guise the club wont exist in 12 months time. One can only hope that the silence over the past 6 weeks means something serious is going off behind the scenes (fingers crossed).

Somebody put something on another thread about the take over being off? Is it a rumour doing the rounds or just folk commenting due to the lack of info?

If it's off then I fear I may have seen my last ever CFC game.

Struggling to justify to myself buying another season ticket. That performance today was absolutely dire. The players that aren't good enough just didn't want it. Those that are good enough are too few in number to make any difference. Sheridan picked an awful team today. And that pattern is happening too often. Well under 4000 today. Time to sell the club before his cash cow does one.

Don't worry plenty of full dois upstairs he won't leave all full for Christmas etc etc

which players do you think are good enough? and by good enough I presume you mean to compete at the top end of this division.

Last I heard things seemed quite positive - infact I was even pondering a return over Xmas (they at home Boxing Day?).

But hey, given who's conducting negotiations...

Either way I'm off to Harrogate Sat'di (day out with mates interrupted by ninety minutes of so called football) then if the deal really is off there's always Notts...

A mate raised the idea of putting on a mini-bus next week and I said I’d go along but there was literally zero uptake from any other of our group of friends. I think we filled a 16 seater a year ago even if only half made the game.

-I know nowt about these rumours, mainly 'cos I'm so demotivated I can't be assed to ask questions. One thing I will say though. Any consortium that is thinking of asking fans to chip in will get short shrift from me if they also stipulate that the same fans can't have full disclosure of the historical accounts. The thought of Carson skipping off up Whitt Moor into the sunset with a non disclosure agreement under his arm makes me want to puke.

He's here to cash in his shares. One way or the other you'll puke.

One would assume that things are going on in the background, one would also assume that even DA is becoming more pragmatic on his demands as he realises the dream of better days is just that.

One would assume that it still requires a substantial investment to take over and keep things going, one could assume that those concerned may be having difficulty in raising funds and have perhaps found that relatively wealthy town fans when approached for investment are not that enthusiastic !

One could assume its not looking great.

All pure assumption of course

If one can assume that negotiations are continuing after something like 4 weeks following the initial statements to that effect is it not right for one to assume that some common ground must have been found in that time?

If one can assume that then why should one assume it's not looking great?

Should one not assume that amongst the first things to have been agreed upon and disclosed is a ball park price and proof of funding in order to allow more in depth negotiation to continue?

All quite possible, the Devil will be in the detail, like everyone I hope for a take over by genuine well funded buyers.

*Turning good intentions and pledges into cold hard cash to take over a basket case of a club will be a great achievement even more so when the full extent of the required investment becomes clear.
