What day will the news break?

Potentially a big week ahead, maybe even make or break.

What day this week do you think, official (not waffle on X) news will come out regards the sale of the club? If at all.

Read rumours on X on Monday,
Given false hope on Tuesday,
Dai was moving the goalposts on Wednesday and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we gave up on Sunday.

I might post this on X and say the bidder’s name, the clue is in the post and within hours the newest rumour will be Craig David to buy Reading

It was all fake news in order to stop protests at the Cambridge game.

Don’t doubt this but if so, very short term way of kicking the can down the road which would come back to bite them

Just imagine if it’s real :o

Imo it won’t happen.

I think the most likely scenario is that the rumours were just a complete load of b/llocks made up by someone connected to Wycombe to take the heat off Wycombe and their vulture like destruction of RFC.

Will be happy to be proved wrong but I just find the above a more likely scenario % wise than a group of millionaires/billionaires wanting to buy RFC.

It’s exactly what I’d have done as a Wycombe official facing a weekend/week of pickets, protests and general negative attention from RFC fans.

Why this week? Legal matters take time to resolve. All parts of the deal need to come together at the same time. Far more complex than Dai just signing on the dotted line.

This week because "ITK" accounts are spreading its done and even James Earnshaw has tweeted that something is close. Being a fan himself, he is normally circumspect in posting something.

No-one is massively expecting a sold notice this week but news on exclusivity.

Key thing is tax falls due on Friday and someone needs to pay that. If exclusivity is in place, then "new owners" could and likely will cover that.

Depends whose breaking it and what it is.

If it's bad news, it'll be announced on a Sunday morning that the owner is thinking of doing X and then on Monday morning some 3rd party will announce he did it, possibly Wycombe Wanderers

I imagine if it's a confirmed sale of the club, The new owner will announce the agreement as soon as the deal is signed.

There is zero chance of a new owner announcement at this stage; way too far to go. The will they/ won't they question is solely on exclusivity, and if it does happen this still has several more weeks to run.

Though the pace at WBA did surprise me.

Earnshaw broke the story rather than some random ITK which adds credibility something's happening re exclusivity.

Yeh, he reported exclusivity which we have to be hopeful but skeptical on. But a load of ITKs are suggested the entire sale process is basically done which is most likely nonsense. Don't EFL checks take several weeks for starters?
