WinchesterSaint Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 This proposed takeover is a bit like watching the five minute freeview on the fantasy channel, you know you really shouldn't look at this website because there isn't anything to get excited about very often, but you can't resist a peek anyway cos there is always that little glimmer of hope that you might see something that makes you happy.

There has been a string of bad luck / karma hanging over us for a while now. And im beginning to think that its not ever going to get better. I was watching the Championship play off final on monday, after the final whistle, seeing how happy the Burnley fans were and just started to think that we will never see times like that, especially with the news today about staff wages etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also cant believe how much slack we are giving him, if it was the board there would have been marches arranged by now.Is it a case we feel so trodden on that we have just given up?

What you can influence is worth worrying about mate. What you cannot influence, as in this case, it's really not worth raising your blood pressure over. On here we have now dissected just about every possible angle. We've criticised, moaned, taken the p155, got downright angry with others. We've laughed, smiled, cheered, got our hopes up and, most of all, been depressed. I think it's time to just wait in silent hope. We've all had our say, it's no longer worth us all falling out.

Morph Posted 28 May, 2009 Share Posted 28 May, 2009 PS wheres MOrphs daily injection of positive takeover posts? No news from me I'm afraid. I'm hoping that the edge of the cliff negotiations that seem to be taking place now are a success. I suppose we all have to be patient and wait and see. BTW I suspect that Salz is the 4th interested party as he has been interested from the start of all this, he just does not appear to have the money that others are reported to be prepared to lay out.

Just chill out, I would guess that the deadline we have been waiting for is next Friday because I can't see Fry asking the staff to carry on working without wages for another week. Takeover bidder to be announced by Wednesday is my guess. I'd love this to be true, but whilst I agree that it is unlikely there will be too many times you can ask for this goodwill (and Fry will know this), it's more likely that it will but him a few days to conclude activities to improve cash flow (i.e. transfers of Dyer etc), therefore being able to pay staff for a little longer rather than conclude the takeover. The takeover will invariably take longer (they always do), however, within administration there is always a balance to strike between short term/medium term results for the creditors. i.e. if he sells Dyer and puts the money into a creditors pot, the club will fold have no more staff and will be even less appealing to a proposed bidder. He's got a tough balancing act, maintaining what assets still remaining and ensure they don't depreciate too much against ensuring that the short term selling of assets don't get poured down the drain....tough call. I know he's under lots of criticism (mainly because his communication has been a bit naiive) but Fry's not got the easiest job in the world. Still I hope I'm wrong and there is a miracle swift conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
