PL chief picked them up, blew the dust away, let out a big old sigh. Then promptly placed them down on the other side of the desk.
Dunno if anyone picked up on what was clearly a prearranged exchange between Shearer and Lineker on the BBC on the takeover. It ended with both of them agreeing that a decision needs to be made by the PL. More indirect pressure and welcome.
If Masters wants to maintain any credibility in relation to the PL being the best them he needs to approve the takeover sharpish. That type of stat is damning and shows the gulf. It makes the PL look poor.
the takeover is our only hope ... every year the situation gets worse and all the while other clubs ate bought by ambitious rich owners... this club really is dieing.
Thought it could have been something today. Did see reported interest from Middle East and US in Burnley. Not sure any truth in that however
Yup. The phrase 'led to believe' is classic Ashley. He cannot say anything due to the NDA. Bruce is not part of it so can comment.
For all he’s a duff manager, absolutely fair play to him for calling out Masters et al. “Stalling” is a strong word, well done that man.
Exactly what I thought. I suspect that he has had a conversation with Ashley who has told him what is going on. Ashley of course cannot comment. Bruce however can. Part of it is clarity for Bruce. He wants to know his own future. He's also sick of it.
