Dunno about you guys but I'm going to get a season ticket for next season because we are being sold to a squillionaire....................................it's like the old Doug Ellis linked with a superstar routine, I'm older and wiser now.



It's been covered by several more tabloids.

The Ellison link is gathering momentum.

And season ticket sales aren't !
Someone from this parish made the point that several potential buyers appeared in the press the same day season ticket details were announced.I really hope Lerner sells up to someone who can take the club foward , but remain cynical that there is a buyer on the horizon.

I hope the Ellison rumours are true. This has had extensive media coverage and you'd think that it would've been denied by now from the Ellison camp if there was nothing in it??

When you're hoping for Ellison and end up with Hodgson.  Like walking into a bedroom expecting Kylie and Vanessa Phelps is there spreadeagled on the bed.

I'm sure after endless posts on his Twitter account last year he issued a statement, saying it was nonsense.

Larry Ellison is the Benni McCarthy of billionaires. He had better buy up soon or I am migrating to Sybase.

It didn't say 'extended negotiations', it said 'extensive negotiations'.

Memo to self - must check facts before posting. My memory is not what it was.  At least I'm honest and not blaming it on autocorrect!

The point I made could still be valid.

Think about it in a different way. The bedroom is actually on a desert island and you're running extremely low on food. All of a sudden I'm much happier seeing Vanessa.
