Is that what passes as journalism these days?

Reporting that a wikipedia page says something?

It's like something out of The Onion.

Well if Wiki and The Onion are both reporting it, maybe there is something in it?

If The Daily Mash say something I'll start getting exited.

I refuse to believe that someone called Micky Arison is an American/Israeli billionaire. He sounds more like someone Del Boy or Arthur Daley would do business with. And in that old picture on the Mail's website he looks like Chevy Chase in one of his Fletch disguises.

That is genuinely embarrassing even if it is just a gossip page.

No smoke without fire.

Anyone fancy donning the asbestos undercrackers to cope with the raging inferno over at TBAR?

If there were no buyer would Lerner have made a statement by now seeing that has been widely reported?

It's hard to know, Lerner likes to do business in private, even with very public things like transfers so I'd guess we won't hear anything from him until either a sale or the implementation of 'plan B' where he appoints a new chairman.

Thank you. I hadn't smiled since Wembley and doubted I'd ever laugh again; Fletch lol

The article on Wikipedia was edited by Datbubblegumdoe.

He sounds a pretty reliable source.

Tom Fox has said that he would like Randy to stay, but expects us to be sold. He also goes into bat for him by saying he thinks the new owners would struggle to sink as much money in as he has or lose as much money as he has.
