I posted a good few pages back that I'd heard the sold sign would go up "within days" of seasons end and I'm still hearing "days rather than weeks" and that it might be a good idea to check out the OS towards the end of this week. Take that with as many pinches of salt as you see fit.

I could see the logic of Downing and Carrol just not the fees they paid

I'll always give us credit for getting £20m

Next season starts today.  We desperately need this takeover to be announced and spades in the ground to get the place up and running for the challenge ahead.  For fuck's sake, let's hear it Mr Hollis.

We need a manager in place by the end of May at the very latest to get plans in place for next season for sure.

Adil Ray just tweeted it's happening this week with Comolli coming in. If you can't trust a sit com star, who can you trust.

Bella Emberg just tweeted that Athole Still is still sniffing around and wants to bring back Svennis.  I know who I'd rather trust.

I hope he's right rather than WM who think it could be a month away from anything happening. They seem to be basing that on the fact we haven't heard about anyone being granted exclusivity though, which I don't believe is a requirement. Someone on here who knows more about this sort of thing may be able to confirm what the chances of a group buying the club without being granted an exclusivity period?

Sorry, I quoted the wrong post! Meant to quote the Adil Ray comment.

When it comes to international football club ownership matters, Bella Emberg is massive.
