This is all getting very exciting isn't it?! On one hand its entirety feasable that we could well be close to a takeover - especially when one considers the current financial benefits UK based commodities/business offer, also adding obvious currency factors. This all said....why the ''Wanda Group'? Is it because someone 'farted' their name 12/18 months ago, is it because we have such an over subcribed pool of lazy journalism it's sadly the nature of common social media and overbearing regurgitation?  Is it that we have a hardcore of wannabe ITK's twinned with a few 'Think they Knows' that has led this little gem to become slightly 'over erect'?! Either way the facts should/and most likely are dictated by logic......whether that leads us to 'Wanda' where this story came from, or watch unfold an entirely new proposition - either way, the next week or so will reveal all!

24th july it was

2 weeks before the first game. So 29th July this year would be the equivalent date this year.

Steve tappin on wm mentioned Wanda. He seemed to know his stuff, but baggie38 says not, I'm inclined to believe baggie38s inside knowledge

I see a few people plan on setting a alarm for 4AM on social media. I have to say I'm tempted to also but not because of what Wanda have to say but because I want to watch and laugh at the meltdown that breaks out amongst the Muppets on Twitter

I call them Muppets simply because a lot of them seem to think we can compete for any player in world football and make stupid comments but hey I suppose that's social media for you...anyway back on topic I'd love to be wrong I really would because Wanda group seem like a serious force in the market but I can see no way unless they are somehow connected to the party its all agreed with being them sorry but I just wouldn't get one's hopes up.

What i actively hope it isn't is just a hedge fund, wanting to buy it as an asset and then move on. No passion, no real fandom, just business.

If we were brought by someone who is doing it as a show off piece, that'll mean at least they will endeavour to make sure we never go down adn hopefully will push for us to step up to the next level (8th to 12th as the norm), that way cups are a realistic shout.

We shall see.

What I will say in regards to Wanda, is I doubt it's them buying us, but their announcement page having a football team on was misleading. Probably deliberately so on their behalf?!
Whenever things look bad, remember the Port Vale, Grimsby and Walsall days... not so bad now, eh?!
