I’d prefer a team that won games over any ground. We are seeing some awful stuff lately & no one can deny it’s not D.C. who is a big part It's not an either or lads, you can have both. Not under Dwane Sports. In the current instance we have neither. |

Have to admit I am getting to the point where I feel other activities are more appealing, on a Saturday |

Of course you missed it you still had your head in the sand Vertigo reminds me of Comical Ali towards the end of the Iraq invasion... definitely no tanks in Baghdad (despite the fact you could see them about 200 yards away). Of course there "might" be no take-over discussions going on at all. And it is all "rumour and hearsay". So if nothing is heard by the end of November (these things take time you know), I will issue a formal apology to Vertigo and offer to buy him a pint. Fair is fair. With 6 hours left til December... I apologise to Vertigo and he stands correct - absolutely nothing has been said formally regarding a potential (or failed) take-over of Bristol Rovers. I will also offer to buy a beer for Vertigo, Vaughan and Dr. Faustus should they be around after the Donny game because I said I would. My word is my bond. UTG! |

Read Ollie's latest article and between the lines.
I have heard rumours that Ollie was fronting a consortium.
Mmmm

On the day Ollie left I predicted he'd return one day as an owner/board member

We're all Gas and just because I like Tom Nichols shouldn't matter. 😁 UTG and enjoy us not losing this weekend! |

so there seem to me to be 2 main rumours.... the football side of the deal has been agreed. Which might or might not mean that Wael stays on. The hold-up is about UWE/an alternative the football side of the deal is still held up as they haggle over price. Meanwhile the ground options are still being looked at I suppose it could also be some sort of combination of the two. Which is where we were at the start, I think acting as a bit of a 'rumour consolidation site', here are a few of the latest - all culled from here or the other place - please feel free to add any I've missed; - The latest rumour I’ve heard from a source with the club is that the takeover has hit a major snag in that the proposed new owners have been having negotiations with UWE to revive the deal and then announce the takeover with also a date of construction but unfortunately the UWE is now dead in the water because the UWE are taking the piss. On a more positive note the good news is that the new owners are still keen but will be looking at alternative locations such as the airfield but obviously this will add years to whatever
- Past history suggests the football club would then be handed free gratis to some of our worthy and wealthy fans who would work in conjunction with the Supporters Club and Presidents Club to find a new home and a way of keeping us afloat financially
- The stumbling block was UWE not now wanting to even discuss anything with the owners, due to lack of professionalism on the owners part. Also WAQ wanted/wants to remain
- the Rovers end of the deal is sealed. There is however a delay in any announcement due to the new owners (construction based consortium from reading) finalising UWE.....There aim is to announce both the takeover and the UWE in one go
- DS who were taking the mickey with their valuation of the Club. Ridiculous value given the level of outstanding debt, equity in ground and that we are loss-making
- Wael wants to stay on, but DS may have to compromise on price the longer it goes on and debts increase.
- Wael won't sign the takeover papers,wants to retain a small percentage..... The current owners would rather us go into liquidation
- Gasheads will be very happy in a few months (per Knowall at the other place, who does seem to know a lot, and is in his 70's although noone seems to know who he is)
- I have heard rumours that Ollie was fronting a consortium
Take your pick? Personally I don't think Hamer is accurate when he says there is no takeover or similar (I'm not sure of his exact form of words). I think something has been happening, but has hit roadworks, but I'm not sure why

I think the one that strikes me as probably closest in that WAQ wants to stay but it’s all conjecture until someone says something. I don’t believe SH either. I would think that any club would have been much quicker to deny if untrue but one things I do know, I know Nothing ( Socrates) |

To be fair to Crazy Steve (doesn't happen very often, but here goes). If he even hinted that there was a takeover in the offing or talks were ongoing, supporters would go into total meltdown. I presume Gaschat would actually spontaneously combust. Dwane Sports would definitely have a gagging order on it, and rightly so.
Failing a takeover and Steve Hamer is actually telling the truth... we do have a Plan B though.
I refer you to his memorable quote post UWE collapse about us becoming "just like the Wimbledon Crazy Gang of the 80's".
From that moment on I thought he was a complete and utter buffoon. I have heard nothing from him in the following 15 months to change my mind. UTG!

Combining a couple of the rumours above.....
Is it possible that UWE is dead as long as Wael is involved, due to the past, but might not be if he isn't?

I wouldnt be suprised if Wael wanted to stay on, but I aint buying that as a problem if Hani is the big bad and he, dad and Samer wanted to sell, because it would be sold |

I'm starting to think this whole chain of rumours has been started and then stoked by a bunch of bored teds in an elaborate plot to take the piss. I mean a lot of randoms seemed to sign up to the forums at the time these rumours took hold.
But then I tell myself that if most teds can't even count past ten then it's a bit unrealistic to expect them to come up with the greatest piece of subterfuge since MC Hamer told us the landing lights were on.
Carry on.

at the other place knowall (who does at least appear to know something) posted on 15th December that Wael should 'grow up and admit his mistake', or something like that
putting 2 and 2 together to make an unknown number, maybe that was soon after the new proposal fell through, and knowall was feeling that Wael has bitten off far more than he can chew?

Should change his name to Knowsnaffall. Just another punter who likes to throw out loads of opinion, most of it is wrong, by the law of averages an occasional guess is correct and people seem to think he's the Mesiah because of that. |
