Keep this to yourselves but over lunch I heard that multi-millionaire football agent to the stars, Jorge Mendes, is in for us. Expect a queue of the world's footballing talent desperate to join us. Add to that Mendes has a partnership with Creative Artists Agency in the States so our profile will soon go global.

Can we keep in the know out of this thread please? :)

Some Times journo on 5 live said just now Lerner was very close to selling in March. Didn't say why it fell through. That was around the time a story appeared in I think the Telegraph which seemed pretty sure there would be sale some time in the summer.

I believe that Larry Ellison was in the box behind me, as someone sitting next to me had pulled up a pic of him on their I phone and it looked a good likeness. I have taken a pic of him on my phone but do not know how to attach it, he had a very tasty companion

John Major was sat next to Doug. Maybe he is buying us? Especially as Randy was reportedly at the game as well. Coincidence?

Or maybe the glory hunters were just out in force today.

Probably because some publicity seeking twonk on a shit internet forum announced him as the new owner.

Larry Ellison announced yesterday that he's stepping down from his role at Oracle.

I have pulled up a picture of Larry Ellison on Wikipedia from 2009 and it looks like him, especially
The long ears, I have someone calling to see me today who may know how to attach the picture
And will definitely  post.  But just because he was here it still leaves a lot of things to happen for
Him to buy us

I still can't attach pictures because I'm a bit of a pudding when it comes to hard things like that

Something to do with your URL whatever that is
