Wasn’t it Gary Neville on Man U, NI?

LK are you saying the Gestapo could be involved at GP, thought they’d been dissolved in 1945? 😂

It seems very quiet on the takeover, odd little rumour about the bidding party having passed the FA fit and proper person test.
Other than that zilch. Does anybody actually know who the group is ie names.
Also if the bidders wanted to avoid publicity why would they let Ernie announce there even was a bid.
Beginning to think there is no bid and it’s just another ruse to get the fans back on board and continue Mr Turnbull’s successful rebuilding of moral on and off the field, without the negative shadow of Ernest Pawn undermining things.
I have no issue with the rebuilding of the club and as we have a silent owner I for one would prefer him to be err silent.

Funnily enough just watched the clip in question. Rotten decrepit stadium my arse. It’s really not that bad. Transfer policy is obviously rubbish – Another parallel, but those players on their ridiculous salaries have no excuse. Redknapp made the best points in that exchange IMO. Players need to get a grip and start playing for the club that signed them for stupid fees and wages. Not that I give a F about MUFC continued plight. Just observations

odd little rumour
More than a rumour, Neil Wright confirmed it and he has ties to the club board. The test was passed but been nothing since. Not going to lie that the amount of time this is taking is a little suspect.

Neil is on the clubs board as a fan director, but with all due respect Neil and Lee only know what they are told by Ernest.
Therein lies the problem, and as other bidders have walked away, what is happening with the latest supposed bid?
Ernest has been known to tell the odd whopper so why should we believe him that a bid actually exists.

Only telling you what was confirmed to me but whether Neil was lied to, I have no idea. As said above, it all seems a bit weird with the amount of time it’s taking and the now complete silence.
Maybe I did get ahead of myself. I hope not and it does eventually go through….making me awfully nervous though

I wanted a quick resolution but never expected one. These things seldom happen that way.

I had a chat with the potential new owner last night in a dream. He said the deal is dragging on due to lawyer wrangles. He won’t get the ground in the deal. And he’s a successful funeral director.

It’s a mad mad world so thinking of going to Clarksville maybe catch the last train if it’s running 👍🏻

Been told that something doesn’t add up.
Hope neither party is doing anything underhanded. If it doesn’t go through this week, carnt see it happening at all.1 user thanked author for this post.
I think these “unknown bidders” will have agreed terms and be taking the Fit and proper test until next May.
I think Ernie will trot this line out at least twice more during the season.
The anonymous bidders will all prove to be unsuitable and untrustworthy to take over our club and unable to produce the monies required.
