What on earth is going on with this takeover?

Nothing the Qataris are gone but want the money they put in back before they completely wave goodbye, Until then nothing will happen. Underdog won’t find it forever so expect big changes this summer and a part time team, which might suit us better as let’s face it we have no advantage being a full time side now.

There were never any Qataris to begin with. Only a made up Youssef character that no one anywhere at the club has claimed to have met. Similarly the delay isn’t the deal being “restructured”, unless you deem restructuring as buying time to desperately find a new buyer to save face.

Unfortunately tomorrow is 2 months since Jeyes’ statement, and people have to accept that he was completely stitched up by the club with the duty of delivering that non-message. Was a load of word salad with only the intention of trying to placate the fans to ease off the likes of Thompson & Bradbury. We will be here in May having the exact same conversation I promise you.

The Qataris were real but didn’t have the stomach for it all, several supporters met Joe he was very eager to get on with things but Dan Hall kept demanding silly money for his shares so they backed out of the deal even though it was originally agreed but the goalposts were changed time and time again. Further investors have been found and it’s now going through further processes.

If we don’t have new owners soon we will be close to going out of business.
