    Ohh aye. Honestly I’d be more than happy to admit that what I was told is lies if it was announced that he is involved, just passing on info to fellow fans of what I’ve heard to add to the discussion on a forum.

    I was told there was a 'sellers meeting' on Tuesday to discuss the schedule for wrapping things up, announcement, etc.

    I'm jumping every time for phone pings, sick to death of it all now tbh ...

    ... I just want to be another daft supporter as I've always been.

    Today, of all days, reminds us that there's more to life, and death, than this.

    This needs to come to a conclusion, the sooner the better. Hope your confident of your info, we need this to happen.

    They need to get it sorted. It's already missed one transfer window opportunity and if the next one is not going to be another waste of time they need to get started quickly as there is potentially a lot to do in between.

    Last Tuesday, Ipswich match, and was timed to include anyone with an interest in selling the club.

    It was a 'Teams' meeting which apparently is a video conference thingy like you see on the news at the moment.

    The person who slipped me the info attached a photo of the players on the pitch so, even though I don't actually know them, shows they were at the SOL.

    Of course it could be some knacker winding me up or sending out fake info ...

    ... who knows mate, the world's gone mad.

    More like spinning ! That performance was disgraceful , you need a midfield , we had a void hence that’s why we keep hoofing the ball forward and hoping for the best .

    We're not as fit as a team that could leave the league this season ...

    ... di Canio was ridiculed but I bet he's fitter than Graham, Grigg, Maguire, etc, now.

    There's a lethargy around the club that cannot be sustained.

    This is Donald's big investment and he's doing absolutely nothing to protect it ...

    ... he has to go and I believe he already has, all bar the shouting.

    He's doing a Trump, clinging on and blaming everyone but himself.

    Don't know why but the players in general don't look as fit as last season with some clearly appearing to be out of peak physical condition. That should be the absolute minimum requirement for any player but I blame the manager as much as anyone for that. If a player isn't fit he shouldn't be anywhere near the first team.

    They should be made to run around the pitch during the game but not be included in the matchday squad, especially when spectators are back in the ground to "encourage" them.

    I quite agree, but if that was applied now, i think we would struggle to put a team out.

    Possible excuses for next week, when nothing happens again.
    1. American lawyer still hung over from presidential elections and missed flight
    2. Incoming new owner was in Denmark last week and refused entry into England
    3. Donald has lost his mobile and cant be contacted.

    I was watching STID yesterday and his Mrs asked him to sell up and he refused and refused. His ownership will be affecting his relationship and according to him a few months ago the safety of his children, yet he clings on.

    It just shows that the “incident” in Oxford didn’t happen.
