Knowing who to follow is what makes Twitter either very useful, or a complete waste of time, it takes very little time to figure out who gets things right most of the time and who gets things wrong.

95% of stuff posted on Twitter is by people claiming to be in the know. Like our friend TigerTully.
 
Okay. Not a problem....So when can we expect to see some rich Yank geezer in a sharp suit walking around the stadium waving a City scarf around his crust...and the East stand belting out "America, the Beautiful"..

Who said that's what it's worth? If it was worth $15 to them yesterday, why would they care if they have to still spend $15 today? The club and the facilities are worth no less in absolute terms.

Because the Allams have hiked the asking price, and the published TV money is approx. 12% less as a result of the Brexit vote fallout.

The TV money hasn't changed, it was £96m before the vote and it's £96m now.

The rate hasn't dropped by 12% either, the headline $1.50 exchange rate that people kept referring to only went that high for a few hours and you couldn't actually do a trade at that price, the $ rate had been at about $1.44 for months, realistically it's about 8% down and rising.
 
As far as transfer 'rumours' Buckingham and Burnsy are the best to follow as they don't post anything unless it's concrete. Believe it was Burnsy who broke the story that we were after Maloney, for instance, and one of them also broke the news about the Odubajo + Gray bid, etc.

Burnsy said we were more likely to drop another division rather than be promoted back the the prem last year! <laugh>

In relative terms it is 12% less, but as OLM has suggested, the deal was agreed after the FX rate issues.

OLM did say :
Quote: "I think this is probably exactly what Assem did, he calculated the exchange range benefit and came up with something to justify adding it on."
Has a deal been agreed after that, and if so, has Assem hiked the price even more(a second time) to cause the Americans to walk away ?

OK. Still significant in the context of this sale.
