Can we be absolutely sure it was Graham Taylor that said it?
Anyone know what Alistair McGowan or Rory Bremners movements are at the moment?


Yep, I just mind fucked you all right there! muhahaha.

he just says he expects to hear that we're up for sale and in fact that he's had a tip from a good source that we're already sold on the basis that we are now safe from relegation.

Thanks Alan. So he is taking an educated guess, no more than that!

He said it was tittle tattle but that he did think a deal may have been done, and that it was from a good source. If it wasn't Taylor you'd think it was the usual internet ITK stuff which you never know if is true or not. He must be fairly confident that its true although he certainly didn't say it as fact.

There's a consistency there anyway, between TBAR and Sir Graham's accounts, for what it's worth.

agreed, my first thought was DD, still good friends apparently and there was his comment after the Hull game about never  saying never to a DoF role should things change
