white noise

Iles and Nixon are well aware of the ‘ITK’ conversations on here but seem more intent on ‘ploughing a lone furrow’ irrespective of the relative inaccuracies of their information.

This! 👍

Nixon is painting a very bleak picture on Twitter. Suggesting that no deal is done and KA is holding on for a significant payoff. No appetite from ‘buyers’ to pay the price. Total stalemate and time running out. Looks like a very bumpy ride ahead.

4 bought yesterday.

Howard, is the resumption of season ticket monies a positive, in the sense that we will not be trading insolvent if a deal is close/ agreed?

Championship club attracts higher sale proceeds, talking it up?

Nixon reckons buyer is ‘foreign’

I for one appreciate the insight from Howard. It’s hard enough making sense out of all this, without Howard’s update it would be impossible.

Nice one Ken!

Radio Manchester reporting that the takeover ‘may well be off’ more to follow

Nixon reckons that anyone who ‘really’ wants it can complete quickly , even if they are currently behind in the process.

Iles reckons so.

lets hope that it’s quick and straightforward, can’t let myself get carried away somehow.

Anyone know where the funds are coming from, with Basran? If it’s not personal wealth, it does pose other questions like, why?

Parky looks so much out of his depth now. As soon as winning a game becomes more than a big lad up top, two giant central defenders and hoofing the ball, he is devoid of ideas and has alienated any players that could have given us a plan b, Le Fondre, Oztumer etc. He is so bad now, he is decimating the fan base and has killed the enjoyment, the passion and any sort of belief. When Donaldson scored, you could hear a pin drop. Needs to go now, before he does irreparable damage to our club.

It’s so bad, there is no devilment to our play, no gamesmanship, no leadership, no shithousery. We accept every poor refereeing decision without a whisper, we don’t steal yardage, I have seen some unbelievable positional advantage gained by opposition teams this season but we never do it ourselves. When we give the opposition the ball back at a bounce up, it’s always kept in play. Referees pace out ten yards and our players are already standing at 12 yards. Is this a reflection of the manager? It just adds to the perception that nobody really cares.

We will potentially go down with a lower points total than last time and the feeling is actually worse this time

What an absolutely shit transfer window! Parky was adamant that the best deals happen at the end of the window, I think not, you fucked up this time Bolton.

For me, that’s us relegated if Parky stays. Quite simply, we haven’t got enough up front to survive. Parky can’t and won’t change. It’s going to be a long hard run in and no happy ending this time

Deal collapsed

Iles reckons Evans paperwork was submitted prior to deadline but needs ratifying by EFL.

Can’t see a couple of last minute signings that nobody else wants, making any difference. With Parkinson in charge we are going down.

Been patient with Parky so far but if Plan A fails most of the time, why does he persist, when even the most uneducated football fan can see that it doesn’t work. Tactically, inept. Against WBA he persisted with no sub at 0-2, until 70 mins. Set pieces are a joke, so many 6’ + players and yet we rarely threaten. What are we doing on the training ground? Beginning to think that Parky is a massive factor in our terrible results.

Makes it all the more likely now, if that’s his stance.

He’s signed permanently, effective Jan 1st, KA said yesterday.
