windermereROYAL Back to the main topic to what this thread was set up for, Caroline Parker has set up a clock which will be updated for every day this saga goes on for.
It now stands at 319 days since Dai put the club up for sale.


Surely (and pedantically) a clock would struggle to show 319 days.

I would have thought you’d need a calendar ?

Or just some sort of counter ?


No idea, but you can get a countdown clock so why can`t you get a count up clock?

Same here.

I recall "stundent" was a deliberate typo, but "confrimation" was accidental.

When was the last time anyone new on the board was greeted with "F**k off newbie!"
I thought stundent was a typo which then became an intentional typo.

Personally, I'm looking forward to when we next play Coventry for the return of the Groundhog Day references.

I thought the idea of this thread was to help Brogue set some sort of modern day record for the number of pages. The way the takeover isn’t going he might break all records past and present.

The thread was indeed started as confimred by me. However Forbes has been changing the thread title periodically throughout this sorry saga. It’s not been me changing the title.

And for the record I believe the first outing of confimred was a spelling mistake, and I believe it was this thread by urzzzz 11 year ago

SSN reporting the Everton takeover could be completed in 4 weeks, that`s been in the process like forever. these things take time. exclusivity was announced on March 26th, and we don`t know if that was the Couhig led group.
Somebody is paying the bills, and it isn`t Dai.

Yes and the longer it goes on, the less money Dai gets back.

Its nearly 4 weeks since Couhig expected it to be completed the following week....

Trusted source told me this morning Couhig is in lead position to take over from Dai and it may happen at some point soon if no problems are encountered.

The classic word "hodl" was born in similar manner.

We also used BTFG (back the from game) and other variants after similar typos.

Welcome to the internets, people.

The EPL won't sign off on it until Textor sells his stake in Palace and that ain't happening any time soon so 4 weeks is a pipe dream.
