I wouldn't rule out a consortium of Derby AND QPR

What have you heard Richard?

Might explain why I'm unable to confirm who it will be, this could get VERY interesting.

Read some stuff on TBAR about some random arab bloke who has been tweeting about Khaled Al Baltan, who owns some Saudi club, wanting to buy us.

I google search news for his name, this is the first thing I read. Al Baltan currently owns one of the clubs mentioned, Al Shabbab

Quote
A Riyadh criminal court has sentenced a sports journalist to three months in jail, 50 lashes, a SR5,000 fine, and a ban on using Twitter for three months, for defaming the presidents of two Saudi soccer clubs on Twitter.

The court, in a preliminary verdict, found Mohammad Shanwan Al-Inizi guilty of abusing Al-Hilal and Al-Shabbab on his Twitter account.

Al-Inizi had also alleged that there was corruption and forgery taking place in Al-Shabbab’s youth administration.
Al-Shabbab’s president Khalid Al-Baltan subsequently sued Al-Inizi for defamation.

Al-Inizi said it was the right of the club to sue him, but maintained that there was a long legal process ahead because the court had issued a preliminary finding

3 months in the big house on the hill and 50 lashes for a bit of, errr, "twitter beef" as I believe the youth (and Zane Lowe) call it.

He's going to LOVE this place.

50 lashes *and* banned from Twitter for three months?

It's like being stoned to death and then having to tidy up your bedroom.

I've just spent 15 minutes googling Aston Villa takeover and have come up with fuck all.

I will continue to work tirelessly for you however.

After Masterchef.

If I remember.
I hope you are back on the job?

I'm prepared to announce I shall make an announcement at some stage in the future.

Derby. Or possibly QPR, remember where you heard it first. No doubt some tabloid journo will pick up on this, we know they read this site.
