Who exactly is laughing? Do you imagine that £150m deals are done over a sandwich and a pint at lunch time in the pub?

For goodness sake, it may or may not happen, but whatever the case the club is right in taking its time and being cautious. This is quite probably the most important decision that has been made in the club's history. Do you really think they will rush it because a few vocal supporters are getting squeaky bums, or because some footballer is hesitating over whether to come here if not, or because some greedy Championship outfit is trying to wring a few bob more out if them?

These people are hard nosed, professional business people. If and when the deal gets done it will be because everyone involved feels that is the right outcome for all concerned. Until then no amount of keyboard bombast and bluster will change things.

Well put Chipper

If i didn't care about the club so much i would chill. Some chance of that.
I am not normally so pessemistic,it's just that when we sign player's or have something to announce we seem to take an age.

That is what we have we always done.

[bangkokbaggie]

If I was the new owner as of last week with a few quid to spend maybe I'd stay quiet until a few bids for key players were accepted rather than risk the selling club seeing £ signs as a new owner with cash approaches a sought after player?

That's a good point if there is any truth of a takeover last week and an announcement being delayed until the end of the month to get players in at not inflated prices based on any known takeover. However I would think it would be difficult to keep under wraps and would surely leak out.

[leeiswba]

Are you cryptically suggesting that Saido is the mystery investor in talks to buy the club?

Haha, don't know how I managed to post that on the wrong thread.

At least you recognise you have an obsession, understandably so, but you have supported the Baggies nearly as long as me so you ought to recognise that it has always been the same. The ultimate roller coaster ride, one day full of hope, the next aspirations dashed, whether that be beating top teams or losing to non-leaguers, buying players with reputations who fail (David Mills) or those with non who succeed (The King, Cyrille Regis). From opposition players on a goal drought who inevitably break their poor run by scoring against us. Poor managers, great managers, mad mangers, soft managers, disciplinarians = we've had em all .

This take over is just the same as is our transfer window performance - relax

[DaveWBA]

With the initial exclusivity statement being released two weeks ago, give it till the end of the month until before we see anything happening. As the season kicks off a week earlier than usual expect a busy first week in August and Sky Sports to show up at the training ground on deadline day.

Lets hope our does not fizzle out like our chums has down the road....I think ( hope) it will all end in tears for Tiny Tim and the t***pots.

I know mate, tell the truth i am starting to bore myself let alone folks on here. I just wish something would happen, a takeover, a status quo, even dare i dream a signing. ANYTHING.

Always good to have different opinions otherwise we would bore easily.

I honestly think we might see some action when they come back from America. 3 weeks is a long time and for me we only need a couple of additions that are vital.

  At least we can laugh about it, that black country humour never leaves it's part of being a Baggie

Well at least Fireymoose isn't here anymore, he'd be having a field day with all this.

If he is then he won't be around long. Amazing how some constantly moan about us and how we run the forum yet can't wait to try and get back on.

AS FOR THE TAKE OVER THEN

I know how you feel mate.
The rest of us are very supportive of you and your team,
Long may it continue Mr Oldbury and mukkas!

[BAGGIE5]

I was reading on skysports site it takes weeks and weeks to get through all the premier league tests..maybe the end of the month is a good date for an announcement then.

[baggie96]

Apparently according to Nixon on Twitter the takeover is looking good and the owner has loads of money.

[sooty2]

Yes it was me he as just answered hope he speaks the truth could be an interesting 3 weeks.

Alan Nixon, quite reliable. A journalist for the sun I think

[Baggieblood]

It's the sun?

It must be true then.

More likely it's bill ayres, local shed maker made good.
