[Archived] Rovers Takeover Thread

Barnet? Hell that would be great.

[gazsimm]

Sparkling eyes, a healthy complexion, a cow's tale and a dozen fingers.

Whelan would sell, but I don't think it's them either.

is it bolton Nicko?

is it bolton Nicko?

They wish.

[gazsimm]

They wish.

did u say it was a rumour it was a north west team Nicko or not?

[nicko]

did u say it was a rumour it was a north west team Nicko or not?

No, I didn't.

[john-rover]

my thoughts are west ham, arsenal or maybe even us (hopefully)

[EwoodGlory]

Not North West but West Ham?

We'll run out of teams for you to rule out soon

[Craigman]

Has Nicko actually ruled us out ? He said that he doesn't think it is us, not that he didn't hear a snippet of info that it might be us.

If it was Rovers we would know by now...

[john-rover]

so why do we not know who it actually is?

[Billy Castell]

Is it Wootton Blue Cross, Kempston Rovers or Bedford Town?

I have a feeling West ham may be in the favourites to be taken over, as are Portsmouth, Newcastle Burnley, Sheffield Wednesday and us. No insider knowledge, just pure guess work.

An Arabian paper 'broke' the story on Sunday night and said something would be announced this week.

It is only Tuesday.

People in pretty important places are foxed about this one, so IF there is a deal it is a well-kept secret.

[colbert]

I work in watford and the office mainly suported by West ham, chelski etc etc.

Now there is a bloke i speak to is a west ham supporter and he says he has heard it is us by a few

people. I asked him if he thought it was west ham but said they have just been bought.

Not sure what to think

[Craigman]

Maybe the Trust are able to keep things quiet ?

Thats a understatement.

[T4E]

did u say it was a rumour it was a north west team Nicko or not?

No, I didn't.

Not North West.....

This is a prime example of how people can get involved in this guessing game and go miles off on a tangent.

Within a couple of days people will be dismissing guesses by stating that "Nicko said it's not a North West team".

In reality, thats not what he said at all.

[EwoodGlory]

I was simply asking if it was West Ham tbf

[Billy Castell]

How likely is it that we'll know by the end of this week?

Talking of Arab takeovers, has the one involving Portsmouth been completed?

Nicko but you said if it was Rovers, we already know by now. How does that tie into the above post?

[nicko]

How likely is it that we'll know by the end of this week? WELL IF IT DOESN'T THEN THE ORIGINAL STORY WAS CAMEL DUNG

Talking of Arab takeovers, has the one involving Portsmouth been completed? IT'S ON TRACK, BUT THE GUY IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SUPER-RICH OR GLEN JOHNSON WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD

Because John Williams would have been spotted driving an open-top bus, smoking a cigar and giving a Churchillian two fingers.

You mean he wasn't doing so yesterday when he pocketed the best part of £20m?
