    Ok I am going to try and see what it’s like from the opposite side. We(some of us) have given valid reasons for it to potentially be off.

    Can you give me some valid reasons for it to be on?

    god knows what's going on mate .. I just keep seeing spin on anything negative... the only thing that can't be am in is seemingly Ashley doing an interview saying " I'm staying forever " once again

    pretty much but it's fairly significant if you think they'll just drop it like a bomb.

    imo like I said months ago they'll continue as normal until everyone figures it out rather than drop the bomb they know will cause a big outcry they'll drip it out ... smooth out the wave so it's less harsh..

    funny I could wrong but it seems like that's what's happening....

    I think people or some are living under the notion that they're somehow privy to hearing it has failed for reason(s) x y or z , however they're not. There will be no benefit to the club, the Saudis or the premier league in disclosing such information..

    it'll just go away over time.. left to speculation.

    the Saudi’s could have sponsored Ashley for a season.

    Much easier to have a break clause though.

    "in the event of a change of ownership of the club, the contract will be terminated"

    Something along those lines.

    So to sum up everybody is still setting their own deadlines, everybody is still interpreting any news to suit their own agenda and views and CC is still flip flopping.

    No change here then.

    Why don’t we all admit we don’t know what is happening or happened and that nobody else commenting does either and just wait and see what is happening or has happened once someone who does know tells us? Otherwise this thread will still be going next January and will be on page 3,476.

    I haven't got a clue what's going on, I have no sources at the club or in Saudi Arabia, not even got a mate who works in KFC.

    However I say that it's happening. I've been positive most of the time when reading through 500 pages of speculation and 389 pages of complete nonsense (no science has gone into this calculation) and I see no reason to change my mind just yet.

    If we hit opening of the transfer window without a takeover I may start to wobble and if we get to the 1st game of next season without it I'll (probably) admit defeat.

    For now however, IT'S HAPPENING!

    We’re on to the 889th page. If I were at a party and the conversation was running to the equivalent of page 889 in any conversation I would know it was a dire party, in fact a really, really, really dire party.

    I don't think anyone has professed to know what is happening. Thanks to the abyss of info, we're all having to come to conclusions based on the evidence. Some choose to think things like contracts for old players, Bruce's forewarning of reduced budget and extended sponsors aren't negative indicators. That's fine, we all hope they're right.

    Oh I don't know, the amount of sheer bollocks on here does put me in mind of a bunch of pissed idiots all chatting **** at a party. Occasionally getting out the smartphone to prove a point but mostly saying the 1st thing that comes to them. The only question now is do the Saudis turn up with a truck load of booze to ramp up the evening or do we realise we've left it too late to get to the offy and all trudge off home in despair

    I think some people have just chosen what they like best.

    I think it's off and I believe soon everyone will eventually start realising and then we'll all speculate why for a while until it just goes away .

    I was very drunk once and ran acrossa very busy A road just to get to the offy before it shut. How I'm not dead is a mystery.
