That's one letter away from being the post of the decade.

I have given up. After two years of insisting to one and all that Lerner will sell the club to the appropriate buyer and 'we will hear something soon' I have realised it is not going to happen. Not now or in the distant future.

Nobody wants us... not even Randy!

He should lower his price now, because one thing's for certain, his asset will drop like a stone in value with relegation. You could call it criminal neglect.

Not really.  Its the same risk he's taken every year but this season - if successful - the value of the club will increase due to the extra income.  So unlikely that he'll drop the price drastically from the current price.

I only see the value increasing. Especially with the baggerz evaluated at roughly the same price.

With the 'crazy money' financial markets of China/Russia/oil backed countries all taking a hit, potential buyers have lost their appetite for the time being.  This possibly only leaves the USA again for a potential buyer.

I think they should merge the other 3.

Haters Bitters and Biters FC

Can you think of a good name for the Triumvirate.

Is there any rules to allow mergers in football ie Could someone buy West Brom and Small Heath and merge them for example.

If those two toxic brands were merged it would be the end of science as we know it.

The failed DNA experiment, dooms day scenario., they could be bought by a coalition of Russia, Irag, Iran and Syrian business men, mind you that would probably improve peoples perspective of them.
