Doesnt he just copy what everyone else says.

Masters is not involved - its someone not connected to the football club.

The deal will hopefully be done tomorrow. Not just Watt, another (richer) party too.

It’s rumoured that Snoop Dog ( real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr ) is in talks with unnamed others to take over the club .
Just been on national radio.
Finally a saviour , fingers crossed 🤞
Obviously, I meant to say Brewdog.

Any dog will do for me to see the back of Edwards Hayman GI and all the parasites that go with them.

Really ? This is Torquay United that sort of thing does not happen to us.

More likely to get a slumdog millionaire! All those rumours about millionaires are most likely (unfortunately) to be wide of the mark. Expectations should focus upon new owner(s) who wil lay out a sensible plan to take the club forwards (and hopefully eventually upwards). Suspect IF a deal is concluded it will be with a consortium who may be able to offer some financial support but not in the league of massive unlimited financial donors?

Are we to assume that Watt and the richer party will be working together, or are they separate bidders?

I think we are to assume there are just rumours and people putting forward possibilities in hope rather than expectation.

Whoever, it is, if the first words they utter mention “new stadium” then I’m done.

That is excellent news if true. We have had enough with unsuitable owners. We don’t need another one.

Wish they would tell us. All this secrecy makes the Iron Curtain look like a blabbermouth! Gets all our hopes up to possibly find we've ended up with the same mob that got us in this mess.

It seems that you're right, though on reflection I don't seem to remember any rumour coming from any of the TUFC sites that actually turned out to be true. I might have missed something though, and of course all rumours help with the straw clutching.

It seems also that there will be no fanfare from the bidders unlike the Wrexham crew. let us hope we are not back to square one and are going to be treated like mushrooms again!

Ok, consider me the preferred bidder for a moment. Now ,I get my accountant and solicitor to go through the accounts and company set up with a very fine tooth comb,considering the previous set uo I would probably pay to have fine combing done twice .That will take a few days. Assuming their are no black holes that havent been disclosed I may consider waiting a week or so to see what league we are in, it will make a huge difference to the overall business plan, staffing etc.
So I am not expecting anything until well into next week or even later.

That is why I alluded to the Wrexham crew. If our bidders were of the same ilk we could expect a meteoric rise in our fortunes, but if they are as you surmise checking where every penny is coming from and going to, our rise (if any) could be rather different!

And Wrexham owe about £9 million in loans to their owners I believe.
