    Dodgiest euphemism I've ever heard.

    Ashley's never given a **** though, not alot of this reeks of anything massively dissimilar other than rumours of a takeover, which could still be the papers selling stories in the aftermath of the big 'Charnley-Staveley showdown' over a meal and that one bid.

    The only conceivable reason he could be dragging his heels sounds like it would purely be to stick the boot in one last time, but even he knows PCP will just renege on the agreement if we look destined for the championship even half way through a ****ed up window AND Ashley's ****ing them about.

    The bit I've put in bold seems like the things we've been saying throughout Ashley's tenure. To me its not ineptitude if it has a side serving of malice.

    I live in hope and all that but as soon as i woke up on Saturday and saw nothing doing I felt the best we can hope for is an end of season purchase.

    I just think it's wrong to think he's so bothered about the fans he'd spend any time at all plotting ways to annoy us. It's out of character, so for me is not a conceivable reason why this could be dragging on.

    He's spent his entire ownership trying to avoid losing money, why suddenly start now? To me the deal is either done, or being done. During a takeover in the corporate sense - and that's how he's always operated - it's very common for headcount and/or spending freezes to come into effect. With Rafa "not knowing" on his budget and the only rumours being players out, not players in, again the clues point towards the takeover being in process.

    I’m sacking off this takeover ****. On the basis that I don’t think it’s going to happen soon. Keep checking on here to see if there are any developments to find nothing always is just getting my knuts all shrivelled.

    I'm still with LordJJ thinking this IS DONE - *disclaimer I have NO knowledge of this, No insider information, do not add me to the story of the three "wise" men on this board.

    Everything for me points towards a deal being done - holding compaines set up, share buy backs, players supposedly leaving (Mitro and Shelvey -can't let go of 2 of your best palyers without decent replacements incoming) and even Rafa's interview the other day, he knows something is happening, does anyone think he would be hanging in there and acting so cool if he thought there was a chance we wouldn't strengthen the squad? I think that we are just keeping a lid on things for another week or two to stop people adding premiums on to transfers, the later we get in to the window people will be offloading players they don't want anymore or have recently signed upgrades on.

    Messi-Ronaldo-Neymar front line by Feb 2nd - you can quote me on that**!

    **Please see original disclaimer.

    it's been done before - just saying (don't want to upset you)

    this has all the hallmarks of a giant publicity stunt by Ashley to drum up interest
    like jetting off to Dubai with his mates Wise and Lambiarse after he put the club up for sale the last time
    only to be photographed being pissed in a hotel bar and the peole being linked with a take over saying they
    don't know anything about it

    I dont really think any of that points to a deal already being done. The biggest bit of hope anyone could have is from Ashley and Staverley being pictured going for a curry together.

    Agree. Am beginning to suspect the deal is a scam.

    If there was no deal, PCP or Staveley would have said so.

    I’m with you. Lord Jonjomort is the only one of the 3 sources with any credibility. Windy lost his in the last transfer window and ACS is more full of **** than the seats at Sunderland.
