 Even if this turns out to be bullshit with all the cutbacks it just feels like a preparation for departure.

File under twaddle. For one thing, Randy has to want to sell and I'm not sure he does.

What does he get from the club though? There's no money in it. No accolades. Not much recognition for things that he has done right, it's all washed over by the mistakes made in more important places. No success. No entertainment.

It baffles me more why he would want to remain owner than why he would want to sell up.

Precisely. What's he getting from us - nothing. He can't enjoy us losing most games, being humiliated in the Cups, losing most of our home games, struggling near the bottom of the table etc. He hasn't been to a game for more than 16 months. That doesn't sound like a man who isn't looking to sell the club.

or it's just bullshit, he's trying to get the club back to financially sustainable level and nothing to do with Lerner trying to sell the club.

Somebody suggested to me the movements in the accounts in the last year or so have the look of a business readying itself for sale.

He's watching and waiting to pounce. Of that, I'm sure

It could be but as others have said i can't see anything worth him staying for, he knows he hasn't got the kind of money to move us on what is there to stay for?

Would the staff not have noticed some solicitors and accountants coming in to perform due dilligence?

Utter tosh to boost the traffic of a site.
