Randy's a businessman first and foremost. He just wouldn't announce that he club is for sale and nothing more.

Makes no sense and pretty much paralyses the club until McGrath knows when. Can't sack Lambert, tough to sign players as who will they be paying for,  would a new manager even want them still if a sale suddenly eventuates etc, etc the list goes on.

It just cannot be that surely.

An up for sale means minimal investment from Lerner until he finds someone, that is the worst possible news. I don't really care who's in charge, we just need significant investment.

That's what I'm praying for, but the club has previous for doing things that make no sense.

May this sorry tale also be the end of ITK - all these people lining up to tell us we've been sold...

Embarrassing, frankly. Just like our bloody management.

The Brown's were very profitable.

Sorry, that was simply the BBC headline, rather misleading it seems, in terms of what is actually known.

To me it smacks of a deal which has fallen through. The announcement was to have been that we have been sold but now it has to be that we can be bought. As I said to the anger of some, chancers, carpet baggers, snake oil salesmen and asset strippers please form an orderly queue.

Wheels would already be in motion. It's almost a month since we were told their would be a statement,
My guess is sale will be complete by end of June at the latest
