    Whoever it is, just hope something happens quick, the club is paralysed under Short and Bain right now, we are just a few short weeks away from the new season, no manager, players being sold, not the kind of situation that will have people buying season tickets. A complete and utter shambles.

    It's Shorts doing mate. Bain will be doing as he's told by Short.

    It's a difficult situation but, in reality, little else the people involved can do.

    Short is selling, as most people demand, but it's not as simple as selling a car.

    There'll be a difficult transitional period and we need to get used to that.

    The new people bear the biggest responsibility and need to be decisive.

    Can anyone remember how long the transition was between Short and the Drumaville consortium? I seem to remember it being really quick???

    I don't believe for a nano second that they'd have the remotest interest in an English football club.

    It's a ridiculous suggestion from whoever made it in my opinion, actually ridiculous.

    When and why would a huge global financial institution buy a football club in a foreign land, a land where they have no stronghold no less, that is heomarraging money?

    They wouldn't.

    I guess he is doing as he is told...but really, trying to recruit a manager, failed..... then being told, don't bother, we look like we are being bought.....He should tell Short to go and f..uck himself, his reputation (if he has one) will be severely dented with this

    Would you tell your boss to go and f**k himself?

    I know I wouldn't!

    I did last year and didnt give a damn. Fortunately that tw*t got sacked. I had told them 9 month previously he was a chancer and lo & behold they sacked him for being incompetent. Fabulous feeling telling them to go forth and multiply when they offered me my job back.

    How funny it's for the amount I estimated our debt as. He would be taking a loss though

    Word creeping out the other is a US consortium. One of them is proposing a smaller transfer budget than Short currently has in place apparently.
