And yet again the myth of the reason for a lack of support for McLeish being down to his previous job is pedaled.

I've always had a lot of time for him, but it's a bit off to quote something out of context from years ago. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't written it all.

[Risso]

Did you know he was going to quote you Dave?

First I heard of it.

I'm going to guess that you're not impressed?

Moxley has nicked the quote from this article I reckon:

"A couple of years ago."

"A couple of years ago."

And that in itself was written nearly two years ago.

So we're looking at least back to 2008, and it would have been a fair summation at the time.

So the quote was a couple of years old when published in that article in April 2010?

[PeterWithesShin]

As Dave and Risso have already pointed out. I'm a dead fast typer me.

[Greg N'Ash]

hardly like he's claiming your said it earlier today mind. well thats not the opinion i got from reading it. Still a very very good piece from the Moxler.i like the way he occasionally comes on and lurks

Lerner is selling the Browns.

The statement says "investment" but apparently he is selling a majority stake.

Interesting. Hard to know what effect, if any, that will have on us.

[Archieavfc]

According to Forbes the Browns are worth $977M. Obviously no idea how much of that goes into Randy's pocket but can only be a good thing for us.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It appears Randy is in discussions with an investor rather than a buyer.

It appears Randy is in discussions with an investor rather than a buyer.

Depends on whether he sells a minority stake or as is strongly rumored a majority stake.

If it was a minority stake I would imagine any statement would communicate that and say that negotiations are taking place but Randy would still be the majority shareholder and owner of the franchise.

I wonder if Mr Haslam has any interest in "soccer"?
