So basically they want to try and get a quick promotion to the premiership. If this were to fail then their long term future looks uncertain? Bit of a shame that because I really wanted bidders who were in it for the long term.

But nick what if that bid is totally unsuitable or vastly inferior to the MLT bid? I know it's a risk but we only get one shot at this to determine the future of the club.

Dont we all mate! I expect we will have it all sorted this week one way or another.

TBH lancelot it would be wise to listen to Weston on this one.

We shall see if we have some decent season ticket deals for next year. I agree with um though.

Those are my thoughts also.

Thanks Duncan. That's interesting and good to know. Maybe it would be best if takeover talk was suspended for a couple of days on here? I would support that.

Not this season it didn't.

I would like Burnley to win the playoffs. Would annoy me if Preston sheffield united or reading went up.

No reason why people can't give their feelings about a certain party taking over. I have no desire to know who the people are but I would be very interested to know what respected posters feelings are to them taking control.

Doesn't really matter. If we get taken over and the owners bring him back the I will be dead pleased. Everyone else can moan about how we're wasting money but I'll be hapy about it and that's all that matters to me.

But he does know more than he wants to make public at the moment

The good news is that the Farmer is a long time poster on here and people know him personally so we know he isn't a saint David or tommac type. In my opinion The Farmer knows some things but has decided not to make it public yet until he is certain of any facts and presumably until the group he knows about has finished due diligence and has moved forward to making an offer. The email above makes that petty clear.

Do you know the identities? Do you have a preferred group?

Yeah that email...

They are in due dilligence though. They said so in an email.

Sorry that could have been confusing. There are 3 interested parties, one bid and the MLT people have completed due dilligence. Do you know the identities of these interested parties and if so do you have a preference?

What if he was prepared to do it for free? Even if not it's hardly major finance. As I have already said, if this happens it means that a takeover will have gone through so presumably it would be that takeover team paying the wages. Unless you think it's going to be a case of "Sorry Kelvin we were all set to offer you a new contract but now we have to pay the new kit man 50 quid a week. Deals off."

So we have three potential bidders. One has put an offer in already but I am guessing perhaps doesn't have the most money in the world. Mark Fry is now waiting to see if one of the others bids makes an offer including a bid with perhaps more financial backing. The risk of this is that the original bid gets annoyed by the time it is taking and walks away. The other bids then fail to make an offer and we have missed out! It's certainly a risk but will it pay off?

Do you know the identities of the bids? If so do you have a preference?

I saw that too. He must have got fed up with people like me nagging him!

I agree. Sadly some people are very quick to judge. She may very well be all manner of things but it may be a little premature to say.

Is it not possible to worry about both? I would have thought so.

Why are you being so argumentative Nick. Do you have any proof at all that he is in any way bad for morale or indeed that he is unpopular? If he returns we will have had a takeover most likely and he will be on nothing wages. He's a good man so it can only really be a positive thing if he returns. I'm struggling to see how it can be a negative.

Yep. It could be they are happy but don't want to go overboard just yet. Give us a clue please! Not to the identities but how you are feeling about t.
