Dames Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Could the MM take over finally be going through ?
Milan Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 What the hell is going on, how dare the club do this. Official statements people stepping down left right and centre, why can't everything be done at the same time or atleast if they have stepped down for a specific reason share it with us. It leaves the fans thinking that allsorts of things, is it a protest (if so show some dignity) or is it good news.
Thracian Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Without a doubt the takeover's going through. For Taylor it will be mission accomplished.
Cheese Me Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Sounds like either a protest that it is going through or a protest that it's not. Which way though?????
DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Could the MM take over finally be going through ? Must be... Either Taylor is pissed at the final offer / thinks it in the club's best interest that he resign, or MM has tapped the first shoulder??
Louise Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Don't the board have to resign to hand over to MM? Taylor may just feel like it's job done.
James. Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Must be... Either Taylor is pissed at the final offer / thinks it in the club's best interest that he resign, or MM has tapped the first shoulder??
Ric Flair Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Taylor has gone on record to say he came to the club as chairman to find investment and once that's happened, he's done his job. Now this either means the deal is done and he's resigned because it's done or he's resigned because there's something seriously afoot. I'm not worried. As if I wouldn't man hug Mandaric.
Monk Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Golly gosh. This is interesting. Lets face it, if it was family/personal reasons it would have said. Therefore it must be due to a bust up or a business reason. This has to be linked to the takeover bid. Therefore I am just going to go round the corner and do a little jig. Boom Boom Keep the good news coming please.
Silly Fox Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 I reckon it's all going through - why would you resign if it wasn't. Jim McCahill will saty on to see all the paperwork gets completed and it's job done I'd have thought.
DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 fook... what if MM was pissed at how the books have been managed since the current board took over?? Could be any number of things... Only time will tell, oh the suspense.
Ric Flair Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Don't the board have to resign to hand over to MM? Taylor may just feel like it's job done. WE'RE ABOUT FOOKIN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
escape2victory Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Year when it said McCahill is stepping in during the interim period, makes me believe that he is just doing it temp until Mandaric comes in. But later on in the statement it says the Mandaric deal wont be affected by this, as if this wasnt supposed to happen. Im officially confused
fosseman Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 I reckon it's all going through - why would you resign if it wasn't. Jim McCahill will saty on to see all the paperwork gets completed and it's job done I'd have thought. If MM is coming in at last we can be sure that the next few weeks (with our 3 new players) will be interesting and possibly heart-stopping.
The People's Hero Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Don't the board have to resign to hand over to MM? Taylor may just feel like it's job done. I wouldn't have thought so. It means one of two things: a) Something is happening which those who have stepped down don't approve of. Could be that they don't approve of the bid or that they do and that they feel the rest of the board haven't acted in the correct manner and don't want to be associated in the aftermath. b) It's going through and this is simply a formality. I'm hoping b)
Dames Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Or he got his job at McDonalds back Seriously i think there gunna keep us all waiting untill The Birch can annouce on saturday at the game.
davieG Posted 1 February 2007 Posted 1 February 2007 Andrew Taylors resignation will hopefully save us some money at least, unless of course it involved some payoff.
