First piece of business should be to sack Parky and then bring back goal music and us shooting left to right in the first half. 

They brought it back ages ago. We just need to bring back goals.

Does anyone actually fucking know?

Let’s put it this way

if he’s sold to some shithead charlatans then the cunts who’ve forced him to do so should wallow in the dung that follows

I fear he may have.

"Forced him"

Have you not been paying attention to anything for the last 3 years?

Who is Michael James?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, no.

The car park guy 

Consortium and a named front man. Sounds like we've been here before.

Not entirely correct. His net worth is £10m (https://companycheck.co.uk/director/902683694/MR-MICHAEL-STUART-JAMES/summary). Home Bargains is Tom (TJ) Morris who is hopefully a mate of James’ given his net worth of £3.4billion.

Come on you know you're part of the 4k at Wycombe in the sun May 2020, record breaking 70 goal partnership between our front 3, promotion confirmed back in march in front of 5,200 at Coventry, championship sealed at home week before the Wycombe pilgrimage. Sweeping, attacking football a cup run feared by the minor towns of England once again.

That's the best post I've read in a long time, that would be brilliant after the shite we've had this season

Sounds promising then tbh. Certainly an improvement over what we have.

They're going to make me break my promise never to go back to MK again I can just see it.

Just searched Michael James Home Bargains on Google.

Prescot Business Park Ltd (registered on Chorley New Road) have two listed officers - Michael James and Tom Morris. So I can only summise that MJ is the link to the club and TM is the money mon. Always a bit wary of stuff like that in case they have a falling out but worth a go, I suppose. 

TJ Morris actually resigned from PBP in March 2016 but I expect that’s largely irrelevant.

So you better not be lying.

PMSL. If I was near Arnold I would gate crash.

Lets not get carried away, remember this is an Iles "breaking news" story.

Hope it's true like

I’ll be suprised if it’s Tom Morris I know him personally through business  and I know the family pretty well, his daughter Leisa she moved to USA as she married an American guy who’s heavily involved in finance, they are hard headed business folk but underneath nice family. Exceptionally wealthy family and I hope Michael James who’s a business partner has roped them in. Money would not be an issue.

Odd timing since the transfer window is closed and thus too late for this season.

Might as well wait for the end of season and get the club cheaper as a tier 3 team.
 

The Home Bargains Stadium. Sounds a bit shit.

Yeh that's what i thought, any savvy business folk would want to buy us as cheap as poss shirley?

Ken probably started the rumour to take the heat away from himself for a week or two.

Given state we're in, it'd be an upgrade. 89p Shop Stadium would be about right for us at minute

Just a few thoughts from me.

I would imagine that with their being a lien (Anderson has put up his ownership shares in the club as the asset for Davies £5 million loan) on the ownership of the club, that no sale could go through until that debt as been settled.

That's not an insurmountable problem but one that needs to be dealt with first before anything else I would imagine.

Also don't forget KA has a £5 million charge on the clubs assets - I would think he would want that sorting out before he left too.  I assume Moonshift, James and Warburton would want their charges dealt with also?

If the takeover is on - it does show that Due Diligence has been going on by prospective buyer/s for a number of weeks/months.

I would think plenty of twist and turns to come yet before the club is sold.
