Lardi and the elf understand each other. We were the station protest for the squirrel before the Middlesbrough tv home game.
The station protest, that was a good one. Your rallying call fell upon some deaf ears on ITTV, and the eventual attendance did not require road closures in the end. Crowd numbers are always tricky to guess but it was not one of the larger gatherings. It was very nice to meet you though. Meire's police escort would have comfortably outnumbered us had she actually turned up, but she must have got wind that the Elf had a lively reception planned for her that day and wisely changed her travel plans.
It's essential that the take-over goes through before Roland gets the chance to sell Aribo and trouser the proceeds.
If Roland doesn't sell soon God knows when he will. None of our players are in the Lookman/Gomez class, we'll only get a fraction of the£16m in player fees we got last year, the debt to Staprix will rocket, as will the gap between what he wants and what he'll get. So it's sh1t or bust for a quick sale.
@Slackbladder posts some interesting albeit highly tendentious takeover info on ITTV. Anything to share over here ?
Even Doucher, who has constantly poured cold water over The Airman's Imminent and Done Deal headlines on CL, is now saying the takeover is in the bag. Doesn't say when, but there is no way it won't go ahead.
