[Archived] Rovers Sold ??

[Billy Castell]

You seem new to this board Nafe, and with regards to any take over, I suggest you pay attention to Nicko's posts. He's a journalist in the know,

yer ok so insted of me tralling though millions of posts wanna give methe low down lol ??

In short, an American based British business man Dan Williams had made a bid a while ago, and had been talking to John Williams.

Talks had been ongoing for months, but had broken down for whatever reason a week or two ago. It is worth noting that Dan Williams is from the area and claims to be a fan. However he needed some American friends to help fund the bid as he wasn't as rich as Jack Walker.

There is/was a second bid around transfer deadline day, but that has either gone quiet, or was a load of rubbish.

Meanwhile, suggestions that Dan Williams and his consortium has pulled out of making a bid to buy Rovers seem premature.

The Telegraph understands that no decision has yet been made on whether a move is to be made or not.

has DW got a plan B ?

has DW got a plan B ?

I believe I said 'verge of collapse' on Sunday. I'll stick to that. Unfortunately.

I hope he has found a way round his problems, although it would be equally good news if the 'second bidder' would come forward some time in this decade.

If this is the case, when it does finally collapse, I would hope the club issues a statement.

I don't think they realise some of us are losing sleep, going grey etc over this.

I'm looking forward to the Youtube video of you kicking his ginger arse

Trust me, if Dan Williams is Michael Knighton is disguise I will give him the biggest kicking imaginable.

From what I have found out in recent weeks that won't be the outcome.

I'm amazed you have any credibility left on this forum...

[EwoodGlory]

Go back and play on your own forum will you.

[Paul]

I think one has to give GM his due, those are nicko's words, no one else's.

[Guided Missile]

Go back and play on your own forum will you.

I'm devastated, after the welcome you've given nicko on this site. Maybe you prefer his fantasy world...

[USRoverME]

Nicko's supposed "fantasy world", which requires some form of "fact checking" however lax teh journo world might be about it these days, or a world filled with mindless, hate-filled expletives from (un)Guided Missle. tough call that......

[Hughesy]

I wish the club, the trustees or that Dan williams fellow would give us some info about what has gone on - i often feel like the club doesnt publicise some important info to fans

[EwoodGlory]

Maybe you prefer his fantasy world...

And how would you know that it's fantasy?

Just because of the windup on your forum doesn't mean the same thing is taking place with us.

It would seem talks have taken place between the club and the Williams group, that was never the case with Southampton.

Maybe the HMR was someone closer to home GM? There has been a lot of unrest with the suits at your place in recent years :ph34r:

Seems like he takes longer to make his mind up than my missus when she's after a new dress

It's like real life football manager

"Blackburn Rovers takeover on the Rocks!"

[BlueMonday]

Not shooting the messenger here Nicko,

but this 'on the verge of collapse' is a joke. The guy clearly hasn't got what it takes to take over the Rovers, be it; Time, money, or the ability to organise serious backing. It realy is time to move on.

And even if there is a last minute turn around, I'd be even more sceptical about him taking over than I was originally.

Well if someone is taking over I want it do be seriously thorough. No point in rushing the deal through.

We don't know if he has the money or the ability, I will trust the club to learn this and make the right decision.

It would seem talks have taken place between the club and the Williams group, that was never the case with Southampton.

The "windup" on our forum included an email from Daniel Williams to one of our posters, who shared it with me. Apparently, Daniel Williams thought he had talks with Southampton.

He and others from our forum, had also received emails from HMR, from the same IP address as Princeton Global Housing.

I have encouraged a very close friend of mine to pick up the mantle and move forwards with Southampton and to ‘inherit’ our offer to the club, and he seems very happy to do so. I have offered him the backing required, and he has a long affiliation with the club and will declare his intention publicly in the coming days. He will have full access to the plans etc.

Still, keep taking the tablets and creaming your pants every time nicko posts. He must be having a real laugh at you lot...

from the same IP address as Princeton Global Housing

As one of the posts said on your forum, it is easy to mask an IP address as someone elses, if you know what your doing.

It is also easy to send an anonymous email from any email address you want to.

Technically, you don't know what you're talking about...

[EwoodGlory]

As I work in IT and Web Design, I know it is easy to mask an IP and it's very easy to find an anonymous email sender which allows you send out emails claiming to be from whatever address you want. Plenty out there.

.....and finally, while I'm at it, these are the comments the Saints poster that received the email from Dan Williams, made to me:

Do you want his mobile number? It is DEFINITELY him I spoke to - I am not **cking stupid, I have his US mobile, and his e-mail address at Princeton Global.

His last e-mail to me is below ... I am not bothering to follow up on it because it's all a load of horses**t.

I had moved on. The local paper brought the subject up today.

I agree with you that if he can't do it then he's history.

Still it's nice to see Jilted John, the councillor from Southampton, back and flouncing around like a Lawrence Llwellyn-Bowen look-alike again.
