And were you part of that anti-Davies campaign? Could it be that the 'brainless numbskull' was you or just one of your friends?

Probably! Surprised you never made your way over there too

This FIBS thing, how proud of yourself are you for coming up with it? Do you smile to yourself each time you type it?

I smile every time someone puts 'Custard' in reference to him. Isn't being petty fun

I am pleased with things that fit well and rarely satisfied with those that don't. Do you have a problem with that?

Although with due respect, at least the first two are happy to engage in civilised conversation. 

This is Interesting 

Can anybody post a copy on here or a link to a copy of the Email that was sent out to staff yesterday about the " Takeover  being agreed in principle " that was sent out to all the staff yesterday afternoon ? 

I see that this morning the Bolton evening news is reporting 

"An email sent to full-time staff yesterday afternoon claimed that a deal has been agreed in principle with the buyer whose backing helped obtain an adjournment at the High Court last week.

Would like to see the email to see If this is actually stated , because if it is , the deal must be with the Dark Horse Bidder that has been dealing with ED Trustees all along  , and everything else that has been speculated about their being yet another mystery bidder is wrong .

I'm surprised it hasn't already surfaced somewhere, we've seen emails to club staff up on Twitter within hours in the past.

It is them, the ‘new bidder’ that Nixon went loco over was almost certainly a red herring. 

PA vets everybody before they even get close to the books.

It is, as Marc suggests, knocking about quite a bit on social media.

The wording of it is...

Dear Colleague,

I write further to my previous email sent last week. I am pleased to confirm that a deal has been agreed in principle and is subject to contract with the proposed buyer I mentioned in my last correspondence.

We are all aiming to complete the deal in the next 48 hours with the new owner ensuing funds are available to pay the salaries on Friday. I will update you again once I have further information.

Regards,
Ken Anderson

Does he mean its Basrans lot or is it Howards lot?

IN Andersons last brief he said he was talking to someone new, so I think we can assume it's not Basran.

Don't know PA but seen him around once or  twice. The guy took on a tough job but he looks every inch like someone who could handle it. Get us into safe hands this week and he really will have earned a bonus imo.

Have you signed an NDA Howard?

Just wondering why you don't just tell us who it is as an altruistic consequentialist would?

Thanks, I am glad its not Basrans lot if I am being honest. 

Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
