The two things just don't tie up. Something big has changed this last couple of days.

I agree, and its terrifying.

In the last few hours Chelts. What on earth could have happened that so dramatically changed the path the club seemed to going down? Metaphorically it's like they were blindsided by an 18 wheeler from the side when there appeared nobody else on the road. It defies all logic?

It couldn't be more ridiculous. This morning, all we had to cling to was that the club may have finally seen a bit of sense and were putting things in some sort of order. By tea time we're even worse than before.

It's unbelievable. I switched off my laptop and phone for six hours while teaching thinking the worst was over and actually quite looking forward to the upcoming player cull and new manager, and then came back online to see this. I actually feel more pissed off by today's news than yesterday's relegation. At least we knew that was coming.

Exactly how I feel. I'm going to be trawling on the internet all night now too.

So it appears he is heavily involved in selling the club and dealing with an out of control Agbonlahor......by himself!

Certainly earning his corn

We have been down the in negotiations scenario how many times? Lerner must piss so many potential buyers off for there not to have been a sale by now. He could have probably sold us for 120 million last summer now he will be lucky to get half of that, brilliant business man.

The last thing you do is sit on a depreciating asset.  You either do something to stop it depreciating or you sell.

The prospective buyers might have said they'll make their own changes, so don't do anything. If you do, all deals are off.

More likely the opposite - buyers would want all the shit sorted at the owners expense before taking over - unless the suggested costs of those changes are removed from the asking price.
