    It's been a crackers few weeks mind . It sounds like this deal is going the distance, with what i'm guessing is bluff, and double bluff by both parties. It has to go through soon before i turn into an alcoholic :emoticon-0141-whew: Everyone down here think i'm losing my marbles, with my constant updates. Sign the bloody deal :emoticon-0150-hands<bubbly>

    Yeah, I noticed that and thought it was aimed at someone or something to be referred to later

    Fun is having a blunt stick shoved in your eyes, in comparison

    True but I imagine it's also not unusual to get screwed when you have the lower hand and you've got yourself in it up to your neck by pretty much announcing it to the media and selling your business.

    Could be a good point that mind.
    People questioning ALS and RR jumping the gun. There is no way on earth, that if Donald or the Dell Boys were not happy with that, then them t shirt sales would have been scrapped at the 1st phone call from the club saying "Pull them off sale now! It could scupper the deal"

    I must admit for a businessman he was loose with his talk (well assuming he leaked it)

    Just a quick view on 2 message boards would quickly reveal we are all desperate for this takeover to happen.

    Doesnt take a genius to work out the fall out from it failing would be nuclear. SD isn't a great bargaining position right now

    They must have learned from Short ( probably met with him) in that it’s vital to have people on the board who can actually run a Business.. especially if you are going to be a distant owner . The right thing to do would be keep them and add more football experience ..

    Well if there's an official statement today, you can bet it wont be what we wanted to hear
    Especially when turning 40m into 50m after 14 month.

    Nah, bit scruffy, mid 30s? Talking to the young lass he was with who was too busy texting/WhatsApp-ing. Assumed he might be Fulwell73 or local news tbh
