    They will know he is desperate and will be letting him sweat.

    Hopefully they have sent a telegram to that effect

    That's probably for the best. If no pictures are provided it never happened by law.

    Fortunately it was before social media and camera phones had become popular!

    Look it's common knowledge now that the reason there having cold feet Is the cost of getting us back up to the prem and keeping us there, the yanks and Stewart negotiating over the buying price of the club is irrelevant

    It's not common knowledge, it's rumours and guesswork

    And that's what all the Jardines miss mate.

    If it's a choice between grinding negative caution or daft happy crack I'll take the latter every time.

    So what if I can't provide a sworn statement for everything I post ...

    ... if you don't believe it just smile and move on.

    Surely no one would be so bitter and infantile as to bitch and whine for a month over an Internet post ...

    ... would they <laugh>

    And apparently there is a meeting between us and the Americans tomorrow, posted by 2 reliable posters.

    All depends on your outlook which one you chose to believe

    I have a feeling tomorrow will be a let down, we will know nothing for definite.

    My only concern is whether Speedy has more up to date info! I'm certain there's meant to be a meeting tomorrow, but if they've been thinking it over and decided they definitely don't want to do the deal then it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they cancel it, hence still being in America. Hope not like, and hopefully Donald will give us decent info one way or the other tomorrow, I know speedy isn't one to bullshit

    I believe that eventually it will all come out and we can discuss it.

    I also enjoy the chance to dream that we may be taken over by people with serious money and storm back up.

    Which ever side you come down on and as I have said before as long as their are 11 lads in red and white punching their lungs out for our club its all that really matters

    He’s intimating that SD isn’t all that and is actually the stumbling block

    We're all of the opinion that SD needs to meet this group in person. He could be meeting representatives and/or conference calling them. We forget they've had weeks of negotiations and discussions, and as per SD's tweets it appears a price was agreed for the club already so the negotiations were further than that. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a dispute regarding how the club went forward from here, which has hopefully been partially resolved by Ross' sacking (and other changes behind the scenes) and as such it can be a case of "yes, it's done now we're happy with this approach" and SD can come out tomorrow and announce - or they don't feel this is enough and he'll say they've withdrawn.

    There doesn't necessarily have to be a meeting anywhere.
