Who is?

Wonder if John Percy is still confident in his report yesterday where he clearly stated a statement was due from the club over the course of the next 24 hours.

The article says within 48 hours: "Albion remain in takeover talks and Peace will clarify the clubâ€™s short-term future in a statement in the next 48 hours." - Wonder if the short-term bit means the takeover will drag on further?

If this was football manager half the people on here would actually know what they were talking about for once!

Fortunately, it isn't.

Right it's 2am where's this announcement?

MarkW · « **Reply #931 on:** July 02, 2015, 02:08:11 AM »

I doubtes whether we'd announce it this late/early. It would be truly bizzare.

If we announced it at 9am our time that would be 5pm their time, I think? Would make more sense to me

So are we all confident in hearing something today? I hope we do!

Personally? I think we might here something, but I don't think the club has been sold.

JP has made some big changes to the back room staff and can't see why he'd do it unless he was staying.

Just my opinion like

Tbh I don't even mind if peace is staying, but I just hope we at least here something regarding it today!

Yes agree, surely something as got to be announced today one way or other.

BAGGIE5 · « **Reply #936 on:** July 02, 2015, 09:07:34 AM »

I think JP is waiting to sign a good player, then say hes staying.

buzzingbaggie · « **Reply #937 on:** July 02, 2015, 09:26:22 AM »

In the grand scheme of things there's Still plenty of time, wouldn't be surprised if this drags on for another week, even another 2.

Peace has already stated on a few occasions that he will only sell to the right party who will do right by the club. I would say that changing the clubs name and kit would fit under that.

They can give all the assurances and lip service they need to during negotiations but when the club is theirs they are free to do what they want is the reality, weâ€™ve seen it happen at so many other clubs.

unless you sign things into a contract. e.g. Morgan had to invest Â£30milliion into the dingles as part of the deal to buy them for Â£10.

if JP gets Â£150mil for us ... Albion = Â£150,000,000 Wolves = Â£10 , and they think they're the bigger club

Friday seems like a nice day for announcements. So maybe tomorrow

just like to add that Jack Haward had to give them Â£7.50 changes

Only Jeremy knows what happening under his dome but, it'll be great when he does one.

Slowly but surely he's divested small, loyal fans of the little bit of Albion they could ever own, a share or two.

People he praise him crdit him for his business genius are deluded.

What was genius in seeing we were a sleeping giant who had been mis-managed for over 20 years.

He saw that the tv deals were going higher and higher and mimicking the USA tv deals and had the means to come in and divide and rule.

And no i'm not jealous, i'm just someone who loves our great club and see what he's done.

We've paid approx. Â£4m in corporation tax the last 2 years on Â£22m approx. profit.

That Â£4m is in the HMRC coffers and will never be invested in benefit of the club.

It could have gone on new players, a new west stand, filling the east stand corners.

Instead by announcing big profits he was trying to attract a buyer for his and his sister's shares.

Another example of his greed is the Â£15 for the Astle t-shirts.

Did the money go to the Astle foundation?

No.

That's upto to you mate it's free country.

But, i had to laugh when earlier in this thread i read that Peace is going to sign demba ba as a goodbye present.

Yeah, right.

Transfer fees are spread over a period of time as are wages and signing on bonuses.

The new owner would be responsible for that not the "philanthropic" JP.

WBAinDEVON · « **Reply #946 on:** July 02, 2015, 03:58:18 PM »

Its time for change and a gamble, we have gone as far as we can with JP and what a jolly good job he has done.
If we are ever to compete for Europe like we did in the seventies then we need the financial clout

Signor_Maresca · « **Reply #947 on:** July 02, 2015, 04:15:23 PM »

Just finished writing a letter to him, thanking him for all that he has done for this football club. What a great chairman.
