FTOF

No apology kneaded.

One of the upper crust?

So it looks like a deal was scheduled to be completed this week. So not a rumour. Time to put the dummy back in.

He didn't say which Inverness though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverness,_Florida

Yip. That record low inflation is really helping people out. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-30832524

He's done. Legs are gone according to united fans. Next!

You'll not get a reply from Fatty. Unbelievably his numerical skills are even poorer than his level of literacy.

LP having yet another 'mare.

75% at the last count.

I don't know about inflation, but there's a certain fat wind bag full of hot air, that's in immediate need of deflation.

A quick name change to Starbucks United or Amazon Athletic and paying tax will be a thing of the past.

A self portrait of course.

Indeed he can be, but I'd argue Div is better informed than any journalist when it comes to the internal affairs of the club.

He appears to be surprised. Aren't we all?

Really? Where's the proof of that, other than a convicted criminal in the press?

I'd certainly put more trust in Div than in a reporter. Only time will tell if my trust is misplaced or not. Maybe McBookie started the rumour to make a fast buck.

FIFY

Why not corn beef hot dogs? Best of both worlds.

New board member with dual Scottish/Argentine nationality to be appointed to the board. Name? Juan Kerr. Plenty of candidates on here for that position if that's the name.

I think the main difference is that even people who are positive about this change of ownership, recognise the fact that things could quite easily go tits up. Other than my tongue in cheek reference to European football, I haven't noticed anybody jumping about for joy and forecasting endless riches for the club, both in terms of money or on field success. Experience has told us that these situations, where foreign ownership is involved*, can often result in disaster. Therefore, although there's a sense of relief that change is afoot and that we might survive relegation and thrive in the SPL (or whatever its called), this is tempered by the fact that there's a lot of uncertainty. As Div says, let's wait and see what the new owner's opening gambit is before we start weeping and wailing. *Just in case people think that I've developed a case of rampant Xenophobia, UK based consortiums, sometimes involving fan ownership, are equally capable of making an arse of clubs too.

I think you need to go for a lie down.

I've heard the first thing they're going to do is change the club strip to sky blue and white stripes.

I don't know what you're complaining for. If it goes well then we'll be playing world beating football and be in Europe in the next couple of years . If it ends badly, then you can come on here and tell us all "I told you so", with your usual uplifting and positive demeanour.

They've been buying up loads of shares in the past few months.

Maybe the fact that the outgoing BoD have a 75% share holding removes the need for an EGM. Maybe someone with more knowledge in this area could enlighten us.
