Confirmed Statement from Ian Penrose - 26/27

[Nobber]

I’d just like to point out that everything I said is now in the mainstream.

Told yah.

I’m more ITK than the king of ITKers with knobs on!

Fuck me im giddy!

Correct, half of it could have been issued in early July though, and would have stopped any gossip about the process.

Unsure if anyone has said this but, if we’d announced the takeover happening that early, teams will just have put their prices up when we went in for players

Your ITK thoughts on the heavy caveat in the last sentence…………

Also, I’d like to give huge credit to @allthingspne who told me that there was plans for a statement to be released soon back on Monday 💙

Zedan is not going to be the panacea many expect or hope for- if indeed that particular takeover goes ahead ..

At last! I'm not going to say I told you so numerous times............No actually I AM GOING TO SAY I TOLD YOU NUMEROUS TIMES!
It's taken a long time to be confirmed but we are where we are. Let's look forward to better times ahead. Our long suffering fanbase deserve any success we now have a more realistic chance of achieving.
Deepdale should be rocking a week on Saturday. COMYW's!

I think there should be a chant directed at Ian Penrose ......

Please don’t, the last thing we need right now is for you lot from the town end who struggle to put a legible sentence together being beamed live to millions of households

If you don’t mind I’m still enjoying the afterglow of Ian Penrose’s statement. Your negative comments can wait until tomorrow.

With this news, it'll be interesting to see if there is a decent take up on season tickets from our own plastic fans..
Full price it is...

Oh shut up you silly sausage. Let us enjoy good news for a short while at least!

Jeez!

£440 on the Town End is still not bad for 23 games …..

£19 a game……

Yep, but there will still be some moaners at that price, even though self inflicted..

Haha now you’re promoting the value of a season ticket. I love you Ando I really do.

I literally couldn’t care less. I’m just excited for a new chapter after the tedious boredom of the last 20 years.

Finally the statement from the club that we’ve been waiting for. They certainly left it late, only hours before the first kick of the season.

It feels like the first chairman’s statement in years that wasn’t written by Ridsdale. Clearly Penrose is not a bullshitter.

As many of us thought, the takeover is in the hands of the regulator and no one knows how long that will take.

Change is definitely happening and good times are ahead.

Oh do shut up you boring twat.

I note another tedious party pooper comment from a tight-fisted non patron.

Really good and positive statement.

Months of checking daily for updates and I go out to get holiday supplies and the wife, who passively supports PNE, sees the statement first 😂

Majorca tomorrow, taxi arrives at half time in the Bolton Game. Hopefully we are a couple of goals ahead by then. Many beers will be had over the next 10 days.

Fun times, almost there.
