Excellent piece Ben, and I'm sure you found it cathartic. A suggestion why interested parties might have waited til the season was over could be a depreciation in the nominal value hence a reduced price?
“And then… nothing. Not a peep of any takeover talk for an entire season”.
It seems always that the supporters (without whom, etc, etc) come last in the list of those getting to know anything, almost as if we don’t count at all in any decision making. I know we can’t get involved in financial arrangements, potential owners or player scouting, but just a little bit of news on progress now and then wouldn’t go amiss. The season ended over a month ago, and apart from the pre-season friendly fixtures, we’ve had no news about anything. Not even a new kit to look at!
And I agree with you about Wilder – do we carry on along the nostalgia track, or do we jump abord a different train, hopefully an express?!
Where are the rich American film stars when you need them?

PS. On another note, I’ve just listened to your latest Bladespod with Andrew – after last night’s Scotland match, the ‘OG tally vs Scotland’s goals’ might just be a “thing”!!

UTB.
Thanks, Ben – very thoughtful and informative.

Yes I agree but this doesn’t really say much that we don’t already know.
