Takeover Bid - Trust Update

[Macky]

That date definitely came from the media, I'll see if I can find the source.

it was posted on here before the weekend, can't be arsed trawling through threads to find it.

 

[Durham Fox]

It was a date banded about by MM, agreed.

 

[Boy Genius]

I don't remember that, I only remember him saying if he isn't for Christmas then he won't be at all.

But knowing your attention to detail, I won't say he never said it

I was told by someone who's name appears somewhere in every home programme.... but not the 15th

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Mandaric has met with representitives with Leicester and is believed to have doubled his original offer for the Championship club to £6m.

"On 15 December, everything should be done," he told BBC Radio Leicester.

MM is NOT a proven success! Sorry to point this out yet again, but Portsmouth needed a 'great escape' to stay up. Had they not achieved this they would very probably not have gained their new owner, they would be in the same league as us with debts coming out of their ears. They lucked out, same as Chelsea.

As for sniping at Crewe, that tells me everything I need to know about the snipers' knowledge of football. Gradi and their operating methods have turned them from the club most likely to apply for re-election to a club who spend more time in the league we're in than any other - an effective two division shift upwards in status. Crewe should be the model for every club who don't have an obscene marketing operation and 'global' fanbase, albeit scaled appropriately according to means.

Which does not mean things are just great as they are. But the desperation to anoint MM a saviour is frankly baffling.

But they did stay up.

I've just heard a rumour, I dont know how true it is but I will post it anyway. The MM is a done deal, was pretty much in the bag 8 weeks ago and it will be approved on Saturday and he will be in for his goal of Dec 15th and its never been in doubt. RK is already hunting for players for Jan.

i cant help but feel your clutching at straws duzz-we all know bob hazell is a reliable source and hes pretty much hinted the deal is off

Alright so pompey needed that great escape but thats not totally down to Mandaric and whatever he was or wasnt doing. Its because Redknapp left after he had a tiff with someone and the other manager bought in was shite. Altho you could argue that Mandaric had the final say in appointing the new manager im pretty sure he would have been well advised on the matter, therefore people cant say that pompey were up the creek solely because of Mandaric. It started with Harry leaving. I've heard alot of people say that Pompey were lucky and all that but Mandaric had nothing to do with Harry leavin in the first place.

usually i would be the same-how reliable is your source though duzz? we all know bob has connections and the fact he hinted that its off has me convinced

I thought the same until this alsoe reliable source told me its on. I think tbh the details will not be in the public domain until Saturday, you cant have info out about soemthing this big. There will be NDA's in place for a start.

 

[drummindefender]

i hope your right duzz! not all so bad-a glimmer of hope now

 

[Jeff]

Yes he did!

Redknapp left because Mandaric appointed a director of football.

I only hope the NDA's are released on Saturday prior to KO, so we can either party or cry

trust me most people wont celebrate or cry, i dont think they will bother getting off their arse and showing some emotion.

 

[cleefox]

So let me get this right. The MM deal is definitely either on or off. I'm glad I know whats happening.
