I was wondering, Lerner is said to be due to step down as Chairman even if the club isn't sold, therefore, there must be something going on because the board room shuffle hasn't happened and I would have thought they'd have had this in place by now, given we are only four weeks shy of next season. Therefore, in my tiny mind, there IS a takeover happening!

Or they're still looking for a chairman? I must admit to being slightly perplexed by the "nothing is happening therefore it means something must be happening!" theory.

Hope I'm wrong mind.

The evidence was there: pressure washing North Stand.

“I think it’s dead now to be honest,” said Sherwood.

“It was fairly live but I think the people who were talking are now not there.

“The chairman is picking it up and running with it now.

“I’m not sure if anyone is too close now.

“Until it’s done it’s never there.”

sounds like the chinese went to west brom

I'm not sure I am that arsed when we are keeping Delph, dropping £9 million on Cleverley's replacement and £9 million on a a likely French international full back.

“But he can only back us to the tune of financial fair play. That means there might have to be some exits from the club before we can get in some more.”

As long as the money's there and a full board is put in place so that Randy doesn't need to be involved on a day-to-day basis.

I would prefer to hear  from the club owner not the team manager regarding this development if in fact it is correct. Sherwood is going to look pretty stupid if it goes through in the next few weeks!
