David king on Talksport. Very interesting and hearing that it was actually Paul Murray that started all the take over.

I found it a bit disheartening regarding the time line of takeover. King suggests that it'll be mid June before all legalities are concluded which leaves us very little time to prepare for champions league qualifiers and the season ahead. maybe my heeds been in the clouds and wishful thinking played it's part, however I was really hoping it would be signed and sealed in the next two at a push three weeks.

Considering these things take time Peter, mid june is pretty good going. I get what you mean re champs qualifiers but will still give us plenty of time to prepare and have things in place for the league starting.
07 May 2025 12:55:37
You want a takeover to be rushed it will happen when it happens otherwise it will be s^&t show.
07 May 2025 13:06:05
Yip Dave King saying mid-june and the takeover should be all signed, sealed and delivered, which of course is another 6 weeks or so away ? Surely to god the new manager will have to be confirmed and in place long before then ?I know John did say that the manager won't commit until the takeover is confirmed, but surely he now has to be in place before the takeover is confirmed which is another 6 weeks away ?.

Sws players prob still be on holidays. Transfer window not open yet either.

King does know everything that's happening. He's a gobsh! te. Can't be trusted to keep his mouth shut:
The deal is way way further down the line than he thinks.
The 9ers are basically calling the shots now and making assurances needed.
07 May 2025 14:32:26
I think King is being conservative in his time frames. he is being bought out 100% so he won't be privy to the conversations with the guys who are only partially selling nor will he be involved in any of the future planning of the Club.
Cavenagh and the 49ers are already pulling the strings behind the scenes with the appointment of Kevin Thelwell and the "imminent" upcoming managerial appointment.
I suspect the share purchasing will be completed imminently with the view to announce once the season has ended then I suspect the share issue will be done early June where the final allotment of shares will be confirmed to the 49ers.
07 May 2025 14:38:28
Not sure why King would know for definite. am sure though that the official sign off will see everything move quickly after that. fairly certain manager/ coach is approved along with players being identified already in advance stage.

It isn't like a freeze frame though as there is lots of work going on in the background for transfers in and out. lre CL qualifiers last year we returned for pre-season on 24 June so the new manager won't be able to work with the players until that time this year as well.
so he is waiting for the takeover which will happen week before that at latest and he will be started before pre-season as well. Those we have will have close season training targets to match so will be fit to start pre-season. chill.

Ehl said that NK and PS are doing lots of work behind the scenes regarding players in and out so as long as the manager is in place by the start of pre season training it shouldn't have a great impact imo pre season is the most important time when players can get to grips with new styles of play and integrate new players.

While europe is important for financial gains, the league is a must next season, i'm treating europe as a bonus next season, we need to look at the bigger picture and get the club on a sound footing and generating good money through commercial and sponsorship.
07 May 2025 17:19:55
Guys they need time there effectively starting from scratch again, and I'm hoping kasanwiro is our first signing, looked superb.
07 May 2025 18:46:54
Ehl anyone picking up interim management team to get another four months.
07 May 2025 19:41:26
My biggest fear is that Dave king, may be over optimistic about the mid June date and maybe it is more like mid August . A take - over not signed and completed until near the end transfer window may suit the USA Take - over people who may need more time before they decide to part with money .
Hopefully we won't have sold anyone who could be of some use to us .
07 May 2025 20:38:14
After our last take over waiting to June is not a big issue. I'm just relieved we are going to be run properly trying to win leagues and trophies without worrying if admin is coming. Roll on June.
07 May 2025 21:10:20
According to the lads in the know over in the rumours page the new manager will be announced soon and signings negotiations are well under way.
08 May 2025 07:47:10
Pretty sure once 49ers are sure everything goes to plan a new management team will come in with players already identified and bids made. Regardless tho with our current sqaud we should progress through rounds 2 and 3 of cl qualifiers I think.
08 May 2025 08:41:40
Would imagine we're still preparing for champions league as it is. We will be still be looking at players going forward. Just got to pray for an easier route to qualify. The one thing I'd say is our best years of late have been when we had to start qualifying early it seams to get us up and running a lot earlier. Just crash and burn l8ter in the year.
