Ok I'll admit it....

Takeovers fallen through.

We're stuck with the geography teacher and aiming for 38 points again.

Gutted. I was hanging on your every word.

does this mean the takeover will probably happen next week?

I won't believe anything negative about The Takeover until the end of the World Cup has passed and nobody exciting has been noticed landing at the airport or looking round Bodymoor Heath.
And even then I'll give it another couple of weeks.

Thinking about it, if anybody rather than a plane was landing at the airport, that would be a real first.

Our new owners have arrived on a train?

I entirely believe that and agree. Never though I'd be posting that today. Fair play to you confessing.

Was there any more info on those two planes that trees spotted a week or so ago and everyone was getting excited about ?

Someone was trying to convince me on here that one belonged to the new owners and the other the lawyers, to good a coincidence not to be true that they were both there at the same time

I remained unconvinced
