I'm sure it was for a period. That said, as I've just said to Prosser, I don't really pay him that much heed. There's little more nauseating than seeing people suck up to "celebs" on Twitter. Although I did get a reply from Rebecca Front once. She's lovely. |
I'm not sure the definition of celebs stretches quite that far ?
Is Rebecca Front the one from The Thick of It and Lewis? If so, I like her! |  | |  |

Louise Mensch follows me and she's tweeted me back a couple of times.
I like Louise she's gorge. |  |

She's in the Thick of It, I've never seen Lewis. I spotted her in an old episode of Jonathan Creek once and complimented her on how youthful she looked. She liked that. For a brief moment I became everything I hate about Twitter. |  |

Rubbish - Rebecca Front is at her best in the Sky Arts series Psychobitches.
Plays the straightwoman role perfectly. | |

Yeah, but your opinion is usually wrong. No offence meant, just a critique.
In case you'd not seen is, Psychobitches is set in a psychiatrists office, Rebecca Front being said head mentalist. Her clients are famous females from throughout history, played by female comediennes. Absolutely hysterical, Front is brilliant in the way she remains straightfaced during it all. | |

I think the first thing we need to know is who is involved with this consortium in total. Levein and the other guy are just a front, figureheads if you like. But who the hell is lurking in the background is what worries me. |
I'd heard it's some company called Langston.
Anyone know anything about them? |  |

Pretty good at exposing the SJWs though, like the ones who lied about what Tim Hunt said. | |

ECB distracted us all with his celebrity obsession.
Plus, it's all Ok because JVZ has a Swans tattoo. So we've got loads of money, a huge stadium and will have brilliant players. I'm booking a trip to Barcelona in 2017 as we speak. | | | |

Ha! I wasn't talking about her looks, attractive though she is. As an aside, I'll bet I'm the only one on here who's read one of her books when she was Louise Bagshawe. I love a bit of chick lit and even I couldn't finish it (and I've finished many a book from Jackie Collins or Jilly Cooper to put it into context...) | | | |

JVZ is already on record as saying this deal was done for personal reasons and will set him up for life. Dragged his daughter(s) in to it iirc. |  |

Ux as ever hits the nail on the head. This was a done deal by all accounts after Chelsea. Here we are in June and whilst we have an announcement, the deal is still not 'done'. But it's definitely a step closer. The photo of Jason with a scarf above his head has been predicted by the WM and SWEP more times than Les Ferdinand signing for Reading.
Back in April, this was a deal to acquite the voting rights of more than 75% of the shares. Now it is a deal where the proportion of shares to be transferred are lower, but at this stage there is still no public disclosure of the final nature of who is selling what. However, it is arguable that it is already more palatable than it was.
However, I'm not giving away any private or confidential information by saying that the precise nature of who is selling all, some or none has changed many, many times since Chelsea. I've certainly lost count of all the different machinations.
As Ux says, if a committed group of private shareholders wants to sell, there is nothing that a minority shareholder can do about it. And you can read into that that there were some committed sellers. Swansea til I get a cheque. Or check.
The Trust had options to delay (and to be honest, still does) but based on the press release today even now it is not likely to be completed until the end of June. The squad comes back from the summer break for pre-season virtually at that time. I don't think anyone would look favourably on any further uncertainty unless it was in the best interests of the football club.
The only other question was whether the Trust should seek to also engage in the sale of some of its shares. As Phil said earlier, expert and independent advice from counsel at the time of Americans 1.0 was that a part sale had a number of negative implications for the Trust.
As the release today suggests, the Trust is not the only current shareholder retaining an ongoing interest. Now those outgoing shareholders know precisely how much they have enriched themselves by, the attention rightly turns to those who remain, to focus on the future.
My own personal view is some of the selling shareholders have behaved poorly, and have not lived up to their obligation as the stewards and custodians of "our" football club. That's putting it politely. The representatives of the new consortium has done enough thus far to deserve the benefit of the doubt, even if we still don't know who all of the constituents of that consortium are. However, I do find the fact that the selling shareholders are not bothered about who is cutting that cheque astounding. |
"The representatives of the new consortium has done enough thus far to deserve the benefit of the doubt,"
Really? How have they done that then? |  | | |
