What's the views of Jts , gasincider and the other itk's on what our new owners bring to the table compared to what they heard/ thought/ expected the other consortium would?
do they still think we missed out?

No matter who you are or what you know..Surely this question can only be answered depending on its effect? Today's opinion might vary from next year's or 5 years time etc. It's this initial reaction and the associated wild predictions from those who want us to succeed and indeed fail, that irritates me a bit.
We are going to have to wait and see. For the meantime we are just going to be spoon fed exactly like before but from a different spoon.

From what I've seen of them in interviews they seem perfect for our club and they've got money so I'm very happy so far but obviously only what happens in the future will decide whether we did.

It's a slightly more silvery, jewel-encrusted spoon though in fairness.

If the rumours I heard were true I think most would have been in full support of the alternative and there would have been less trepidation about motives etc.
That said we have to play the hand we've been dealt and get on with it now.
I hope it all works out. The new owners are saying the right things and in all honesty I think NH and co were leading us into oblivion anyway so we litterally had nothing to lose.

Who were they, now we can know ? I can't see any reason to hide names now.

They picked us after deciding not to invest in Gillingham.
NH was made an offer he couldn't refuse.
Why the other consortium never surfaced is very very odd. There must be a good story there.

Did the other consortium actually exist, or were they just made up by somebody connected to the club to boost the asking prices or close the Jordanian deal? If they existed did they have the same, or at least similar, financial backing and were they prepared to pay a similar amount for the BoD shares and clear our debts?
Why don't the consortium now come out and tell us what they were prepared to offer, if they existed, as what have they got to lose now?

Their next deal when they try to buy a different club and want to insist it was their first choice?

Well if I remember correctly JTS came out because he was concerned what he was hearing - well if he was concerned I'm pretty sure he wasn't hearing about the Jordanian bid and takeover because even DC stated publicity he didn't even know until Friday which completely unsettled his staff and preparations. Nobody has any excuse to hide anything now as it doesnt matter as the deal has been done so if JTS was loose lipped then he has no reason not to state what he heard as it's all old news and irrelevant now. If if course it wasn't all a smokescreen

The only person who can answer that question is the person in possession of all the facts......NH, and it was his decision to make. It's done now and individuals can decide for themselves whether they support the new owners.
Our new owners have built a business over 40 years and they understand the need to do things in the right order. From the interviews so far it's clear they intend to set sound financial foundations before moving on to the next stage.
I have the feeling, at times as fans, we'll want things done quickly, not necessarily in the order our owners deem appropriate. I have the feeling we will though have a club that will achieve success in the long term

If if course it wasn't all a smokescreen Precisely but was the message sent out by the consortium or leaked by somebody just to put pressure or the prospective buyers, a bit like being told if you don't buy a house/car somebody else is interested in buying it, even though you've no idea if they exist or not? At the end of the day who's unhappy at the moment with our new owners??

I think JTS brokered the deal after all JTS could stand for Jordanian Takeover Syndicate
