Think the northern powerhouse ideal was over egged. Yes. ALK have an interest in contributing to the local and wider economy but not some mind blowing, seismic shift as DJW was suggesting. Although I get the point he was trying to make. I think everyone will be pleased come the end of January and b...

Not sure I understand that - but maybe Ducker is speaking from knowing that his mate's lot are not going to win.

I’m meaning that potentially Ducker got wind of issues with the owners test making a story about them losing the race a preferable narrative to the truth

I'm just trying to get that confirmed

Maybe appearing to have been beat in the race is classier than being disqualified from the race

If you are hearing an update is imminent then surely you must be in the know in some way?

I hear snippets, rarely the full story. Positives vibes are all I’m getting

MRG

Where are the guys that are in the know?? I’m hearing an update is imminent.... anybody got the details?

MRG

Glad to see nothing changed with Brady though

MRG

Agreed

PS: I wonder if there will be some further news released - maybe around 5:30pm this evening?

Seems not

MRG

Very little consideration has been given on this thread around the value that each perspective buyer has but on the club. It’s not a given that they both value, and therefore offer, the same amount for the club.

So ALK are wasting their time if BFC have allowed the other bid to go through the directors test with the epl?

I don’t think so. There’s still so many things that can happen along the way. That said, the other bid was certainly some way ahead. If that’s still the case, only time will tell

Thanks, so it's reasonable to expect that BFC want to get both parties to that stage before making a decision?

The club will have usually communicated an intention to move forward with a bid prior to them going taking it to the league. A lot of work is involved.

Anyone know if ALK have passed the directors test that the Egyptian bid seem to be struggling with ?

No, ALK aren’t that far down the road yet. There is nothing at all suggesting that the ‘Egyptian bid’ is struggling, everything is moving as expecting with that bid

The Four Year Plan - documentary on Prime about QPR when they were taken over by the italians. Best football club documentary I've seen, warts and all behind the scenes and some of the footage when the owners are trying to get the manager to make certain decisions mid-game are incredible Great shou...

We can both agree that the N-word is vulgar and shouldn't be used to describe black people, right?

Charlton fans coming on our board spouting about Farnell appear to have little or no evidence in their allegations that he is a wrong un.

File under ‘J-Lings’. Another gifted player who believed his own hype, Instagram likes became more important than football and he has wasted a career that he has worked towards throughout his childhood

Posted on the other thread.

Can anybody tell me which club Farnell has gone into as a stable well ran club and ruined them?

MRG

Genuine question, has Farnell ever gone into a solid club and run them into the ground?

Is it more that he goes into clubs already in trouble?

This is no surprise and has been covered in the pages before, at length. This deal came in when the ALK deal hit the headlines.

You thinking ALK are finished? It’s not what I’m hearing but your info has been spot on so far

As I stated a few pages before that, ALK had stalled and another deal had come to the table via a board member.

What are you hearing?

Boden now backtracking and suggesting that reports of contracts being exchanged may be somewhat premature.

As I stated a few pages ago! This isn’t over and ALK are still very much in this process.

MRG

Boden Still up making/receiving calls, and there’s a lot to take in at present, but here’s some form of update - ALK understanding is discussions very much still going on, meetings still ongoing in diary between Alan Pace and Mike Garlick....#confusednow This is exactly what I’m hearing, possible f...

MRG

Bowden suggesting the value of the club has reduced due to Covid and they are no longer paying the amount first agreed pre Covid

MRG

I am convinced that ALK will still be the successful party.

I’m also hearing that Farnell is nothing more than an intermediary and will not be involved should they be successful.

MRG

And to really prod some egos, I can also categorically state that BOTH interested parties are continuing to progress their interest with the relevant processes being completed. I believe the Americans are the preferred party and in pole position but the Middle Eastern guys haven’t give up just yet....

And I’ll apologise for my part in it. I have to say though it’s a concern for me when there are accusations of posts being removed when they haven’t. I feel I have to defend that when it’s not correct. To avoid this happening in future I’ll look to see if I can prevent people deleting or editing th...

Do know if these middle Eastern guys or Americans have a lot of money? And a question for CT are you going to reveal their plans?

Problem is people posting nonsense such as the Tarky at Leicester. Then others actually believe it but others call it out because it is nonsense. Then we have people who do know things who sensibly don’t go rushing to a message board to tell people. Tarly being at Leicester is 100% true and if you’...

If that had been the case then the Leicester press and journalists would have been all over the story, with photos to hand of him arriving and leaving.

Considering they weren't it's obvious that story wasn't true.

That’s the end of that then!

The player at another training ground was Tarks at Leicester

Presuming the Asda forecourts are included and are an attraction. I would also expect every eurogarage to have a ‘mini Asda’ attached similar to Tesco Express. Seems like fantastic business sense to me

It's only an outrage if you have only been supporting us for the last 3 years. Most of us watched Graham Branch pay centre half one week then up front the next and generally just got behind the club.
