    Or about selling to them specifically. Perhaps they made her nervous...they certainly did that to me.

    It is possible. She may have spent more time
    with them and felt uncomfortable- could be any number of things. Could still go ahead too.

    Time will reveal.

    Good. Kat will sell to someone, and that's more than fine by me. But I'm not convinced this lot could buy a ticket let alone a club, and I really don't get the sense that they're particularly clean, either.

    Most likely the current owner has realised how far wrong her valuations were of the assets on her balance sheet in today's transfer market & she still wants to sell, but wants a more appropriate price.

    Probably reflects our lack of activity in transfer market to. Whatever the reason , this takeover needs to sorted out one way or another asap! Otherwise we could be right in the **** come xmas time.

    Agree with this, though FF was happy to sign a new 5 year deal this week, speaking of the clubs ambition?

    You all laugh now and say get a grip, but if we continue to stand still as we are, lets see if you still back "our model" when were hovering above the drop zone in december.

    Why aren't we selling our best players and replacing them this Summer. Why are we wanting to keep the spine of our team together and add 1-2 more. We've done so poorly the last 4 seasons with it. Pellegrino in.

    It smells of careful manoeuvring by the inscrutable Chinese investor to save face as they are unable to proceed.

    Yes - I'll say it now. I'll still back our model if we're hovering above the drop zone club come December.

    If we're 10 points adrift, I'll concede we've ****ed up.

    Ive never for one moment said our "model" is wrong. I just feel with the way the football world is evolving financially etc, sticking with it and in some ways " not going with the flow" so to speak , will end up costing us.

    Never ever go with the flow show a bit of spirit and independence of thought and action.
