Can we have a thread that is a just a live feed from TBAR?

It feels like we have one.

I am really kinda bored of that sideshow by now to be honest. It has become apparent the club has pretty serious problems. Ignoring the "ITK" nonsense, the club has just gone up for sale and Lambert is now facing a summer and probably a season of trying to stay up again while shopping with probably an even more reduced transfer budget plus the majority of the fans on his back.

Laughing at a site which makes rumours up every day was funny for a while but nobody takes it seriously any more. I think we have to face up to the sobering fact we are a club in real trouble, not a club about to be taken over by some very rich angels.

Having just had a look I think somebody needs to tell Eastie.

But as Oscar Wilde said  'there is only one thing worse in life than  being talked about, and that is not being talked about'.

Your Majesty is like a stream of bat's piss.

Must admit I have been visting tbar and enjoying the hype. (Then checking here for the more sober viewpoint).
However as soon as the proclaimed dealine of 2.30 passes, all non members are barred as trolls! So to get any exciting upto date bull, i need to sign up.

No thanks, if they are so precious, they can stick it.

On the subject, my thoughts are Mr Learner is no fool, and I would be surprised. IF he made statement re sale without strong and progressing interest.

I really hope you are right mate. My read is he is a good, honest and slightly gullible man who just put the club up for sale. I am willing on your hope versus my negativity :)

I suggest everyone just switches off now and looks forward to the World Cup.
What will be will be, can't be checking on lambert and out sale status everyday till probably July.
I think we will be sold and in time for the new owners to get their own 'team' in place.
No transfer activity will massively happen until post World Cup anyhow

Yep. Next season is very unlikely to be much fun so I'm planning to concentrate on the World Cup from now on in.

I'd be stunned if we're sold any time soon

There's just no reason to ask the manager to carry on if you're going to be sold by July.

Well, no.

All trolls were labelled as what they are to deny them access to certain parts of the site. This was with the aim of making life easier for the moderating team.

You will be missed. Well, actually, I doubt you will.


Moving on, I hope there is a deal 90% done. However, I suspect there isn't. I hope I'm wrong.

I will be there suffering with you. England are the Aston Villa of international football so it makes sense :)
