What we actually have is someone saying Brian Little has said something. So really your comment should be 'random person on net who told me Brian Litte said something is good enough for me'". Forums sometimes offer such a scary insight in to the power of the press/ social media. A photoshopped picture can become 'truth', a rumour can become a 'fact' and a unheard chat can become a 'quote'. I'm not saying it didn't happen and I'm not having a go at you personally, it's just the ease in which something becomes fact worries me. Personally I'll keep hoping but I've heard nothing that suggests this takeover is on other than the 'extensive talks' line.

Still, 2 different posters with similar stories from Saturday, one accompanied with a picture of BL with his kid beside a gate at VP... I'm not saying it's not a well fabricated bit of itk showboating, but I've seen less credible... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right but we do have multiple sources (OS, King, Sky, Lerner’s letter, informal reports about what Brian Little said) which, to varying degrees, all suggest a takeover could be happening. The fact that we have a few different sources claiming something similar gives us some hope anyway. Like many, I am just desperate for it to happen so naturally clutch at any straws on offer. Our collective lack of patience, or even rationality, is probably because we are in such dire straits. I can see no way forward without new ownership tbh.

Which said a significant break through could happen in the next 48 hours. Since then there were supposedly 3 groups with bids accepted and in due diligence, with the Birmingham Mail saying that something happening in 48 hours wasn't a likely timescale. I don't remember Mervyn King TV interview saying anything about 48 hours, just about over the next few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marley the Bognor Villan Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If this so called 'Fans Consortium' were real fans surely they would withdraw their bid so Randy has less options and is more likely to accept the the offer from a multi-billionaire!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
