I don't like the sound of the answer John minnards gave to the question about the takeover He said" It remains under discussion ". That is the sort of phrase you use when you think it could be off but you think there is a slim chance it might go through. Not the sort of language used in other statements where he and Mr carter sounded very confident

I don't see a problem with that comment. He has once again stated that neither he or MC will stand in the way of the takeover.
So, what else can it be that's stalling it? Perhaps he and MC, although not standing in the way of a satisfactory takeover, which will benefit the club, will not simply stand on one side and let it go through if it will be to the demise of the club.
The intentions of the prospective owners must be taken into account, and questions will be asked if they do have the money and the ability to run the club in the correct way.
I've heard all sorts of rumours, - that it's regarding where the money is coming from, and one even that the prospective owner actually wants us to be relegated, so we can start again (with the help and advice of an unpopular figure from the past!) I refuse to believe anything until a conclusion is reached one way or the other, BUT I remain convinced that both JM and MC do have the clubs interests at heart and whatever they do will be for the benefit, and sustainability of the club.

The current incumbents admit they couldn’t finance the team even with the Sky money and media coverage. Why do you believe the one incumbent could do so on Championship funding. If the takeover fails the club fails and our decline would be rapid.

Because the income is the same no matter how many of your incumbents there are.

I have learnt not to knock anyone who puts their hand up and try and do something with running a club. Not everyone will be successful and the vast majority will fail . But at least they tried. What I can't stand is those that just sit back and moan repeatedly playing the same old record

The income is but if the two could not do it because they did not have the personal resources why do you believe the one can.

I don't really understand your question.
What can't they do? I haven't seen anything to say they can't run the club.

Your are right they have shown themselves incapable of running a club professionally. This is why we are facing relegation on the back of several seasons of poor performances and decisions both on signings and this year the coach who they appear to still believe in, definitely not based on his performances.
We have endured reduced capacity because the club was shown to be failing on its safety protocols. We have had virtually non existent marketing and a lack of supporter information. This is our 150th year but other than a bit of gold on the Leeds strip what other functions have we had in celebration. The CEO and director of rugby appears to be conspicuous by his absence in what is his last year.
I think you would be better checking your posts before posting them.

None of that is the same as your first point.
You said they can't do it financially.

By all means spell check for me but your perfectly spelt post still make no sense.

do you know pop tart you need to step back and have a think about things at our club. Yes your a mod on here but you have turned this board into a personal crusade to protect the establishment. Any dissent any words against jm or mc and you still defend the coach. I suppose its your Decision to see nothing or hear nothing but it seems in your mind everyone is wrong constantly, tells lies constantly, makes things up constantly, I'm wrong, Prince Buster wrong, belly wrong, scarlet, altofts, willzay, we're all wrong. Well I think your wrong, your rowing against the tide when it's staring you in the face, no one's opinion counts but yours, do you honestly think we come on here for the good of our health and make stuff up, no we battle for the best interests of the club.
