    OK - back home now after a great break away from the routine, so here's my five pennorth on the subject.

    Be careful what you wish for - there aren't many potential owners out there who'd be prepared to stump up £2M a month to cover wages etc like Tan has recently. Not saying it doesn't come back to a large extent to being his own fault, but he continues to support the club financially whilst we fumble around in turmoil on the football front.

    To assume any prospective new owner would get it right first time is a huge gamble, particularly one blessed with more enthusiasm than expertise.

    Otto looks like he wants to be involved with a football club - any club will do, and Bale's so called consortium is using him as a "name" to front it with as far as we know no motivation other than "making an investement" due to the potential glamour at the top end of the English pyramid.

    Personally I don't think Tan wants to sell the club at all and is being dragged down that route by our "fan's leader" and his henchmen hell bent on getting him out. I hope he sticks it out and makes one or two sensible decisions regarding the running of the club at the top end. Goodness knows he's had enough advice on the subject from us mere supporters.

    He has been and is a generous benefactor.
    If only he'd take guidance on footballing matters from footballing men, rather than tweedledum and tweedledummer.

    100% that Sparks.

    Those fools of the Tan Out brigade need a simple education in the economics of running a football club.

    It could be said that Tan should have had the same lesson all those years ago and not placed his trust in the Chuckle Brothers.

    I didn't say he was having any influence on Tan - it's just the repetitive garbage he puts out has gained a some followers who defer to his supposed insider "knowledge".

    Tan will continue to blank him and his cohorts whatever they post. <ok>

    He hasent finished asset stripping,when hes sold all the family jewells then he will sell ,please god that wont be to long,but i can see this going on for months,then he will look how we are getting on and if in the first six he will stay because if we do get promoted the price of the club goes up.

    William, please Google the definition of asset stripping. He is obviously not doing that.

    Also, if he was selling our best players to line his own diminishing pockets then how do you think we are going to reach the top 6?

    A mate has told me that the "voice of the fans" has pronounced there will be an announcement on a proposed takeover at 7.00pm tonight.

    Now where's that salt I need to take a pinch of?

    Can't be arsed.

    If you added up all their brain cells it wouldn't make one.

    BT tells me the big announcement was no more than Abraham rabble rousing, yet again.
