    Oh, we do have some news. Henry Mauriss has lodged a bid of £350m for NUFC, according to Ian Dennis. Quite where he got £350m is a mystery. Think I'll lodge a bid for £351m this afternoon.

    Why would he bid more? Surely you match the offer?

    Yeah, I said that ages ago. I think the rumour was right - Staveley's bid ended about 6 weeks ago. Mauriss then came back, underwent the tests and has now "lodged" his bid. If you look at many comments from Ryder, he always felt that the actual "bid" came after everything else was done.

    So it's entirely possible that all of this WTO **** is smoke & mirrors, that Staveley is not buying this club and that - as I suspected a while ago - someone in the US would be our owners.

    Looking at this chap. He’s not worth the billions that pif are. But he apparently has good connections and isn’t MA so looking at it on a positive slant. We have a backup plan.

    Who is Henry Mauriss?
    From Burbank, California, Henry Mauriss is an American businessman who has made his money through credit card and media enterprises.

    He is currenty the CEO of Clear TV Media, a company that provides broadcasting services for airports, hospitals and other areas outside of the home, reaching more than 85million viewers.

    He set up the company in 2014, having previously began his own credit card business - Credit America Coroporation - which he founded in 1998.

    A big fan of Major League Baseball and reportedly a Tottenham fan, Mauriss looks to have the appetite for sport.

    I have just heard from a very reliable source that the PL are looking at Peter O'Toole's involvement with Prince Faisal against the Turks in Lawrence of Arabia.
