It seems to me they did what was the best course by engaging with MM, it doesn't mean that they were therefore consigning all other options to the rubbish bin, one presumes they will be revisited if MM walks away. I don't see what more the club could have done in the circumstances TBH.

You are kidding yourself RS..there aren't any:icon_wink

Who said it would be finalised next week, SF?

the mocury RS

The signs are that the takeover will be finalised at some stage next week - or the week after at the latest - so there could still be two weeks of the transfer window left for City boss Robert Kelly to operate.

or not telling the truth :icon_wink

The wink suggests you know something my broken wristed friend.

Just to add, I don't think it was the board who made the deal 'stall' but maybe Mr.Mandaric's miscalculation of the books. Apart from silly vibes from certain sources, the board have done reasonably well in general. Without the silly rumours, they have worked in a professional manner.

I don't like the sound of that non-exec leaving the club.

The truth is out there.

i just think it seems a bit naive of the club to assume it would go through (which it might of course) without thinking outside of the box/circle/whatever it is...:icon_bigg

Playing Devil's Advocate here, did the club assume it was going to go through? They might have done if they believed Blandersons spoutings.

he was a non exec director, nothing to worry about IMO. Could be a million reasons he walked away

Agreed Durham probably just got the hump.

well to me they did/do assume its going to go through hence no back up plan...you devil :icon_bigg

id want whoever was running our club to have thought of all possible outcomes and drawn up some kind of plan(s) in case it goes wrong...it just seems stupid that they appear to have put all their eggs in one basket and banking on mm taking over without seemingly thinking of the worse case scenario

MM has made it a condition of his bid that the club cannot approach other parties, whilst DD is happening, which effectively ties the hands of the club.

He was a person with the club at heart, one of the bacon cobs eaters rather than a Prawn Sandwich man. He seems to be a fan, more than some of the board/shareholders, which means he has some desire to make the decision best for the club.

but there still should be back up plans even if they carnt approach other parties IMO

Erm, long term supporter, still has his season ticket in the East Stand, partner in the largest law firm in the world, helped us out of admin by doing all legal work to square Teacher's unpaid - I would be very worried.

You would because you hate Mandaric:icon_lol: :icon_wink

But doesn't he supposly still pay his season ticket money every year?? So it seems he was generally there for the club, rather than to make a quick buck (although impossible at football clubs) or ponce round on matchday with everyone at his calling need in the VIP sections.

Could all be a storm in a teacup however and he had plans to do this when anybody with a decent (it seems that this bid for MM is not the best ever but as good as we'll get) clout came in and he could trust to build the club. Saying all this he was a NON-exec.

Without being able to talk to other parties how are they supposed to generate other plan's.
