    What if Ross was the stumbling block as the Americans wanted rid before doing any deal, seems very strange timing otherwise. I dont think he would of sacked him at this time otherwise...a tuesday afternoon.
    Also why say Friday for an update when if it was off he could just say so??

    Can I just add that I haven't a clue what is going on
    This can be applied to most things too.

    Personally would put that down to the poor quality of our league more than anything. I am absolutely convinced a manager with a bit attacking nouse, tactically aware would have walked the league.

    Also a little thing I picked up on with the club statement was that the hlhunt fir acne manager will commence tomorrow....nearly always it says will commence immediately.
    Also ross had an interview which is on safc.com only this morning so something has suddenly happened

    I was thinking this tbh … it's clear there was an issue outside the price and then he gets sacked so I suspect that is one issue resolved, but maybe there's other issues. I'm pretty sure it must still be on though because otherwise one party would declare it's off and neither side has.

    6 hours ago safc.com uploaded Ross’ preview on tonight’s game. Around 1 hour ago it uploaded the story he was sacked.

    Two potential thoughts.....
    1. The club doesn’t know it’s arse from its elbow and various departments are dysfunctional from one another.
    2. Something has changed very suddenly this afternoon. Hopefully, the Americans insistence that Ross goes and they come in with a clean slate, much as Donald did post Coleman.

    I’m really hoping for the latter although let’s be honest, the former is equally, if not more likely.

    Ross sacked, debatable as to whether we have a full MSD takeover or investment. Pirate ships between RTG and here etc
