Takeover or not ?

I dont care how **** the vic is, i do not want us to move at all. You cant buy history, you cant buy memories and a new ground would just be a souless areana with padded seating and the corners filled in. I dont want that at all. Look at coventry, **** atmosphere, no fans, waste of money.

 

It's only the East stand and corners which let it down. Other than some parts needing a lick of paint it's pretty good, excellent when compared to S****horpe (and we have working floodlights, what a luxury). arty2:

 

Bored bored bored of the endless rumors now. About time we heard something. I was under the impression that if any offer was made, as we are a PLC, there has to be a press announcement. There has been no press announcement. Come on Watford, let us know whats going on!

 

hmmm

Penguin overseas associates limited

 

penguin overseas associates limited is not listed at Companies House as a current or previous company name. The only dissolved company remotely like was Penguin Overseas Limited, but that was a subsidiary of Penguin Books. Guess they're not a UK company. They did own nearly half of the club before the stock exchange listing. Who are they????????

The parent company throughout the year was Penguin Overseas Associates Limited, which is incorporated in the Isle of Man. The ultimate controlling party was Sawyer Trust.

As a result of the placement and public offer on 2 August 2001 the interest of Penguin Overseas Associates Limited in the issued share capital of the company has been reduced to 39%.

 

Their address is 80 Strand,London

 

I heard they were merging with Ladybird.

 

And.....
the shareholders (2 shares issued) are
Dennis John Edwards
Charles Thomas Michael Hartley
both of Douglas IOM.

 

So what does this mean?

 

This will be on our shirts next season..

 

it means **** all

 

thought as much!

 

This threads becoming surreal.

Wouldn't have wasted 2 hours watching Alice in Wonderland had I known this thread would mutate so beautifully.

 

It's definitely just not going to happen.

 

This is getting to me now! Penguin Overseas / Sawyer Trust effectively owned the club up until 2001 - does anybody here know anything about this period? The only reference I can find to Sawyer Trust is an organisation for helping women over 50 in Worcester! (and no, that's not it, it was only formed in 2006)

Who are these people?

 

there you go - from page 27 !

 

aliens, it was there attempt to live among us.

 

Went shopping today , everyone is talking about it , even the guy that sells the Big Issue.

 

WAS is right to point out my last comment with respect to Penguin Associates.

I don't think you should be confusing the issue with facts. Leave it alone and this thread will disappear up its own arse.

 

well according to some today is announcement day..........ill be honest i dont have great expectations.

 

My humble apologies. I actually heard Penguin Associates was a front for the North Korean People's Army tea fund but I was paid to keep quiet.

 

Never in the history of this site has so much shyte been posted.

 

:naughty:

 

This thread alone is now over 6 weeks old, and since the beginning is full of people telling us 'it'll be done by the end of the week', 'it's a done deal', 'big announcement coming soon' etc. more or less every day, yet all we've had is one very brief statement from the club in that time.

I don't doubt that some of them have a certain amount of insider knowledge, but as you say I wouldn't expect to hear anything tomorrow or any time soon just because certain people on here say so.

 

My source says we should hear something today. If not, count him out.

Although he was right on Russo's admin threat, mcanuff to reading and a few other things.

 

Rumors of an American Group buying an unnamed championship club is circulating over here...

 

Nath - isn't that what fans forums is all about, the joy of speculation ?

 

Will today be the day? Probably not! :forehead:

 

I am going out for the day. When I return this evening/late afternoon I expect to hear that this saga is at an end. If it isn't I think I'll give up and go support L*ton.

 

What's the shelf life on the saying "I told so ".
