    As far as I, and a few other people, are concerned they're still around.

    No one has any proof to the contrary which makes my opinion just as valid.

    In these situations it's clear that 99.9% of people will have no direct, or even indirect, knowledge.

    So the weight of opinion will be against, that's only to be expected.

    To avoid further criticism I could avoid posting about it but don't see why I should.

    Well good luck to Phil Parkinson I hope he surprises everyone and gets us up. As for the yanks well I’m with Smug. We simply have heard nothing either way definitively and the complete lack of information suggests NDA’s may still be in place. I think we simply don’t know unless you on the negotiating team.

    I don't know any of the Americans, or their team, but I know someone who will greatly benefit if they become involved.

    If I named his profession it would give the game away, plus he'd stop talking to me.

    His last word was 'don't panic' which he's been saying for weeks.

    Where there's hope .....

    He will have been guided all the way by hill and coton on this.
    He has banged on about references from the football world. Hill and coton are his eyes, ears and brain for matters football.
    Given the shocking recruitment we have had 3 windows and the football played people expecting anything other than more of the same must still believe in santi

    I'm not following all this but is there a straw to clutch in terms of the takeover because I'm prepared to clutch it so tightly

    Aye it was, I'm still highly doubtful there'll be any silver lining today though, would have expected it to be mentioned at the same time.
