A TBARer has just said that no less than Sir Graham has said the club is sold on WM. Could anyone confirm this? I hate living so far away from the Holy Land at times like this.

Et moi.

Hi Dave, did you hear it?

I too am a pilgrim in an unholy land. Would one of the blessed advise as to whether this is true?

If you don't know and you're Villa Manager what hope do the rest of us have?

I am too busy ensuring the entire playing squad sport my haircut to pay attention.

Interesting Legion, perhaps he has been consulted. Oooh Catfish is on!

Sorry WV, I didn't mean to mislead.  My post was in response to Monty's above about living away from home.

Still inconclusive I would say, not quite him saying the club is definitely sold

What do you mean? Either you know or you don't know. "I believe" is a bit, well ... religious!

When I asked what would represent climax and anti climax next week, Sir Graham stating the club having been sold and his involvement in some capacity on the future of the future if the club represents the former.

I meant I have been told he did say it. Not in a pseudo-ITK sort of way.

He did say it, but it wasn't exactly conclusive.
