SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!! 0 Posted October 18, 2008 [quote user="Salahuddin"]I can''t believe some people keep falling for this crap![/quote]Probably has something to do with people being so desperate for some developments regarding new investment that they are prepared to consider believing most things.

canary cherub 1 Posted October 18, 2008 Doomy''s accusation - that the MPs had issues with the club and were trying to discredit it by airing the match fixing allegations in public - is evidence of a bunker mentality verging on paranoia imo, and doesn''t bode well for a swift or positive outcome to takeover talks. I wouldn''t hold your breath.PS. I see in today''s EDP that Doomy has gone into reverse and is presenting a united front after speaking to both MPs. I''d like to have been a fly on the wall during those discussions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zachariah Lovespoon 0 Posted October 18, 2008 [quote user="Bury Green"]Good to see the flat earth society still exists “Don’t sail out there Christopher you’ll fall of the edge” If true let’s get the marching band and bunting ordered, it will be a very happy day indeed when the Stowmarket two disappear down the A140[/quote] Washington Irving''s 1828 biography of Columbus popularized the idea that Columbus had difficulty obtaining support for his plan because Europeans thought the Earth was flat In fact, the primitive maritime navigation of the time relied on the stars and the curvature of the spherical Earth. The knowledge that the Earth was spherical was widespread, and the means of calculating its diameter using an astrolabe was known to both scholars and navigators. The spherical view of the Earth had been the general opinion of Ancient Greek science, and continued as the standard view in the Middle Ages in fact the Earth had generally been believed to be spherical since the 4th century BC by most scholars and almost all navigators and Eratosthenes had measured the diameter of the Earth with good precision in the second century BC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bury Yellow 2 Posted October 18, 2008 Ah, just as I thought Zachariah - it''s all the Europeans fault! (I dont include the UK in that description) They are still at it, creaming us for money and telling everyone that it is human activity that causes climate change!I say Pah to them.ps If there is a European out there who has got an awful lot of money and wants to buy ncfc.

Soldier on 160 Posted October 21, 2008 Anybody with any news. It''s the hope that kills you. Mr Brownstone have you been in contact with the person who knows Cullum? Thought that was an interesting snippet of info that you posted. How about you Butler have you met that person again or are you likely to soon?OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted October 21, 2008 I bet they keep hoping this thread will go off page one lol [:)]It is very quiet at the moment, but tell me when in the past year it hasn''t been from the club, unless it''s been essential for them to issue a statement.I''m not expecting any investment, and until the club issues a statement or has a press gathering all this is hearsay and gossip AFAIC.As much as I''d love to believe what is being stated on here, because there have been too many wind-ups, I can''t believe a word.

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted October 21, 2008 According to Barry Brockes on the ''''where are these investors?'''' thread, there has been no contact between the club and PC or vice versa. Could there be another billionaire on the horizon, or is everyone being fed a load of bull on here?[:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soldier on 160 Posted October 22, 2008 any response to the post from Barry Butler? Was hoping to build on the feel good factor of last nights win. Are Delia & Michael so stubborn not to talk to Cullum?

Soldier on 160 Posted October 22, 2008 That doesnt correspond with the facts though. I recall that when the Turners left Cullum again stated that he remained interested but had been sent packing 2 times and it was for the club to contact him. He reiterated this a day or 2 later when he confirmed that Delia had not contacted him. That must have been September time?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soldier on 160 Posted October 22, 2008 Just have to cling on to the hope that common sense can prevail and Delia, Michael, Cullum & doncaster can consider the good of the club and its supporters.Surely the thought of cullum on board should be exciting for everyone. Hell we could actually call players of Lita''s ilk our own. We would become an attractive club to join. Without him the long terms prospects of this club look very grim to say the least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary cherub 1 Posted October 22, 2008 I rather suspect that the rumours about talks between PC and D&M were based on the assumption that it''s what any sane and sensible person with the club''s best interests at heart would do. Which begs the obvious question.For my money I''m with Barry Brockes on this. He may not know the whole story, and he said his information was 10 days old, but there''s not a scrap of evidence that there''s been any movement in PC''s direction since the Turners departed two months ago.

Soldier on 160 Posted October 22, 2008 You may well be right. I think I will reserve judgement. Icannot see why Cullum would stay quiet unless a confidentiality agreement was in place. Unless he is waiting for the club to contact him when they run out of options. Will await updates from Mr Brownstone & Butler to respected posters who suggest talks may be ongoing. You have to wonder just what Archant are doing reporting wise with regard to this ongoing story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeAreYellows49 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Maybe they have been stonewalled too, if there''s nothing to tell (nothing go on) then they can''t say anything.Quite frankly even after NC''s fantastic win last night (well done lads)! I am still want the board gone as much as most. And whilst it''s nice to dream of a big rich investor coming in, I don''t think it''s gonna happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In answer to your question I have had no contact with the person in question over the past week. I still believe what he told me and yes confidentiality clauses (he said) are in effect.I can''t add any more because I know no more (or Carle More!).If I get any further information that I am aloud to pass on I will.I am as keen for this to happen as everyone else is, but as it''s not my money (I wish) and I''m not doing the negotiating it''s in someone elses hands.

Castle Acre Canary 0 Posted October 22, 2008 As I understand it the accountants BDO have been appointed by D&M to advise them personally. BDO also advise Celtic and Liverpool. The guy from BDO was sitting on Delia''s table last night at the match. An information sales memorandum and confidentiality agreements are being drawn up for distribution to interested parties. The whole process if successful would take until the New Year to complete which is a bit tight for the transfer window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary cherub 1 Posted October 22, 2008 On rereading previous posts, CMW says they''re in talks but not who with. This week Barry Brockes said they were looking for investment elsewhere of the Turner variety. So the talks CMW is referring to could be talks with someone else, not PC. Just a thought.

T 190 Posted October 22, 2008 The process that CAC referred to would be a standard sales process and timeline and therefore sounds plausible. The whole problem with the original PC approach was that he was offering nothing to the shareholders. The existing shareholders investment would effectively be trapped as no one would be interested in buying a minority interest and they would lose control over the money that they had invested. Therefore anyone who understands these things would tell PC to go away and come back with a sensible offer. The standard procedure would then be to iniate a sale process. When other offers are on the table you then can go back to PC to see if he is really interested in making a sensible offer. At the moment there is no offer from PC to discuss so they is no point calling him until you have feedback from the sale process and have a basis from which to negotiate. All standard stuff.
