TOMA 1: Rykter og spekulasjoner om Takeover

[Leedsfan]

Noen som husker hva den "one hit wonder sangen" til Limahl heter?

En annen vinkling som støtter TO, men som ser den litt frem i tid:

QUOTE (YeBullen @ Sep 16 2012, 05:51 PM)
I'm confident the takeover will go through.

But I do expect there will be another incredibly frustrating period of silence - where many of us are hoping that things will happen now that our buyers seem to have boldly dealt with the indemnity issue. There will probably be another 'documents are with Bates to sign' phase and lots of TOMA questions of Boozie and BiG about what the hell is going on in the coming weeks.

I believe 'Boozie' - sounds odd when you say it. No idea who they are, what gender they are, what they do - but I also believe BiG and that will do for me.

So far our buyers seem to have: -
a) sorted the 'missing millions' they invested and come to an agreement somehow
b) sorted the indemnity issue (although not seen this officially confirmed as yet).
c) stuck around for this long
d) sent their intermediaries to our 1st game

I suspect that Boozie and BiG's over confidence about an 'imminent' takeover way back when was in part because of the money invested by the buyers. This would convince anyone that we were nearly there - and explain Boozie comments about a change in the status quo.

If the indemnity issue has been overcome and if indeed it was the only thing holding up the deal - then we only have to hope that Bates finally lets go. The more posters, arguments with nobends like Castles, chants, protests, questions about finances etc - the better.

It looks like his final play is going to be this 'do they have the finances and best interests of Leeds at heart' - and 'who are they' card for a little while. Despite the club statement. He will most likely play this for as long as possible as if to pretend he cares so much and in turn getting some sort of respect from the fans. Truth is, he probably knows who they are - or at least their wealth.

He has been hoping for a way out where some sort of legacy can be retained - but I hope even he will realise the longer this goes on the less likely this will happen even with the most blinded of fans.

Next question is, who are these guys?!... is that Khalifa involved?... not so sure.....

... at the end of the day, who f**king cares. Juts get in.

JoneseyLeeds forfatter også litt om TO:

I will not be revealing who my contact is/was , what position they held or even the information I passed on as they could easily be singled out - sorry.
They pass information on in good faith and have career outside of this particular deal. All information I've passed to BiG & Boozie is treat as confidential at all times and for that I thank them both.

Gary deserves a few pints and Boozie a few G&T's bought after all this is done , they've put in a hell of a shift in all this.

I'll be in Vegas next week so with any luck I'll return to a new set of owners and a positive vibe around the club.

JoneseyLeeds fortsetter:

The buyers have been extremely patient , they've now removed the only obstacle that Mr Bates would not jump over. (indemnity clause)
Unfortunately there are so many teams involved that they all need to ensure they are happy and then it's over to Mr Bates to get the pen out.
All good things will come to those who wait , his days are numbered .
We're gonna be rich , rich beyond our wildest dreams !!!!!!!!!! ;-)

Dette er første gang en Takeover er blitt annonsert som ferdig og jeg ikke har blitt helt vill. Jeg kjenner kun en moderat forventning i øyeblikket og tviler på at det kommer til å skje.

Har TO blitt anonsert som ferdig? Hvem? Hva? Hvor? Når?

STARTET AV DENNE TWEETEN:

@lynnehickman

@TheSquareBall I've just heard from someone at the solicitors dealing with the takeover deal that it's been completed.

She's a mum and a Leeds fan. Would she really lie?

Could be a good one this.

Men her kan vel enhver legge til eller trekke fra hva som helst...   

[Asbjørn]

Summen av dette er vel at ting ser ut til å skje for tiden.

Om man kommer i mål, at stabukken virkelig vil signe, får man vel bare finne ut av etter hvert.
Men iallefall jobbes det på spreng for tiden
(min tolkning)

Fortsett den gode jobben Asbjørn, vi to som kniver om flest innlegg denne måneden. Blir det en poengfattig måned så kommer vel flere snikende etter oss..

Nånå, for meg er det vel heller et poeng ikke å få flest poster pr mnd enn det motsatte...

Mht takeover'en så merker jeg (og tydeligvis Promo også i det siste, han har blitt ivrig på å sjekke han også siste ukene ) at nå virker det såå nærme selv 'bli kvitt Bates'-øyeblikket at jeg blir nærmest hyperaktiv bare av det.

Og der er vi ikke aleine, i tillegg til oss som frekventerer forumet for tiden forventer jeg et plutselig comeback av veteranen, kjelvi & andre gode bidragsytere opp gjennom årene.


Pesten og koleraen i egen og samme person, Kenneth Bates, ikke lenger i Leeds-sjefsstolen. Tanken er bare sååååå vanvittig bra.




















































...hvem de nye eierne viser seg å være blir jo spennende nok. Men det får vi ta når vi finner det ut. Ikke så mye vi kan gjøre med det akkurat nå iallefall. Og LUST har vel på sett & vis godkjent de...

Ikke akkurat unnskyldning fra Lynne:

lynne hickman‏@lynnehickman

@lynnehickman this is gossip. That is all, from a good source but I'm out of here, this is not what I said of for. Sorry closing off now.


Hun mener at gode kilder forteller at kontrakten mellom Bates og oppkjøperne er underskrevet, men fokuset mot henne og kontoen hennes gjør at hun vil holde seg unna en stund.
