Statement at 3 pm according to talk sport

Well lets hope they are right and matters are made clear, if that is possible.

Then we can get on with our summer breaks and forget about the whole sorry season for a couple of months.

Well if we haven't or going to be sold, we can fully expect relegation next season without major investment and a new manager.

Article in the Daily Mail says that an announcement on a sale is to be made this week.

Two worst case scenarios are, Randy says he's staying and everything will remain the same or Randy says he's selling but no prospective buyer. I would say the first scenario is unlikely purely because why bother making a statement to that effect.

Be surprised if there's an announcement an hour after the World Cup squad is announced unless it really is no sale.

Perfect time to deflect the national media's attention

I don't know whether to believe Alan Brazil or the Daily Mail.

What has my life come to?

I think it's the fact I want to believe the Daily Mail that's the most concerning.

As just think of the fun this place will be if he does say not for sale. Ouch.

He has to shit or get off the pot quite simply.

Imagine the fan reaction if they announce that he's not selling, it would get very nasty. Stringing the fans along for two weeks to announce that he's not selling or club is not for sale would IMO be horrible PR but that's to be expected from our club.
