    Ok, I wanted to keep it under wraps, but I have family who live in the USA. As far as I know, it’s not them that’s buying the club.

    mate if you’re going to be taken seriously as an ITK we need more specifics than that. When did they rule themselves out?

    Chris on Twitter is quite rightly pointing out this journalist has posted similar news a few times this year. They all ring roughly true with what was being discussed on here at the time.

    So either he has the same sources or he just reads this forum and goes out on a limb.

    I met an American once. I doubt it’s him because he didn’t have much money.

    There are things in that brief article that haven't appeared on the forums ...

    ... namely the potential buyer and the price.

    It's a little sad how desperate some people are that we're not taken over. They dismissed the Nick Barnes info because he wasn't a journalist, now they're dismissing the info from a journalist despite it tieing in with the statement from the club CEO.

    That's an agenda whichever way you look at it.

    Its a sad state of affairs when quiet a few of our fans are desperate that nothing happens so they can revel in the "i told you so posts"

    Thanks for what you posted it's appreciated, shame about all the rubbish you've had to endure but genuine fans
    With the club at heart have supported you and knew the information you were receiving was genuine.

    The info has been genuinely posted and I trust the people it's come from, that's the very best I can do.

    Last time I was shown WhatsApp messages, from Fuhrman, saying he'd bought the club.

    When that deal collapsed, at the last moment, people couldn't wait to call me a liar.

    If this goes through those people won't come on to say 'fair enough, you were right'.

    On balance I'd much rather be me than them.

    I meant it suits the buyer to wait. Every time there’s been a buyer in the past, Stew seems to take his time until the buyer gets bored and gives up

    All I can say mate is that I appreciate what you've done. You've been honest, consistent, up front and told us what you can when you've been able to. You've never spun out any connections to play the big important man, unlike Mad Bob, and any changes in anything you've told us has just reflected any changes to what you've been told was happening.

    It's a real shame people have ripped into you in the past just to suit their agenda, but hopefully they'll be put to shame when things are finally sorted.

    Fingers crossed the information about the 10th November is right, I reckon we deserve some good news

    It’s more that they haven’t ruled themselves in. Although to be fair I haven’t seen them for about 45 years now so if they have been amassing a multi billion dollar fortune in that time it’s something they’ve kept hidden from the rest of the family.

    If I had family in the USA, I would keep it under wraps too.

    Cheers mate.

    I'm not important or wealthy, just fell into the kind of work that puts you in contact with people who are both of those things.

    For the brief time you're with them they rely on you and you become a key part of their world.

    When the work is over you keep in touch, like a holiday romance, but it slowly fades then dies.

    I've worked for a Sheikh, Oligarch, politicians and top bankers who've all relied on me but it never lasts and all you have is the odd Christmas card and tickets for shows you never go to.

    But the memories are great and will last a lifetime.
