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?

Bella is as reliable as they come

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

Got the Everton scoop first

Scoop after scoop, that's Emberg.

And continue losing circa 25million a year in the process? No, I don't think that's his plan.

not sure how he could do that.
His least worst option is to sell for as much as he can, if he is not prepared to invest.
