    Further cost cutting by reducing the number of ball boys to one per stand

    We'll get Roy Keane in as manager, he will sign Westwood and bring back Robbie Brady and get Jonathon Walters on loan and the great eascape will be on until a massive fight breaks out in the boardroom and Keane actually strangles Ehab with his bare hands.

    So you and other ctwd trustee's werent receiving inside info from someone in the Grieve team?
    Was it all cash up front? How were they going to fund it? And why puul out for a measly 6 million (in the context of a 100 mill its not a deal breaker to me.

    There was no issue with the payment terms, Obi's conspiracy theory comes from nothing more than a tweet from your mate Burnsy, who was just speculating that it might be a reason. It wasn't.

    The £6m price hike, two days after a price had been agreed, was just the straw that broke the camels back (pun intended). It was not the first time a price had been agreed, they'd been jerked around already. Not only had they been jerked about on the price, but Ehab arranged a meeting with them in London, then called to say he couldn't come because he was meeting a Chinese buyer.

    There's other things that are even worse, but I'm not supposed to post them and as the deal's dead, they're largely irrelevant anyway.

    The deal is dead because Ehab Allam is a ****, no other reason. FACT.

    Are you sure he wasn't just buying a Chinese?

    I've no doubt they're a nightmare to haggle with. Surely your mole will have informed them of this?

    So the price was fine but how did they intend to fund it?

    I read somewhere that had pappa not been ill the club would have been sold, did pappa try and rescue this deal or was he in on the price hike?

    Will it get worse to the extent that even someone like Bernard Noble will criticise the regime?

    Probably not.

    But what would that take? The entire club being ground into a powder and sold per g as snort to high flying Wolf of Wall Street types?

    Would he criticise that?

    Probably not.

    It was Pete Chapman who said that if Assem hadn't been ill, the deal would have been done. I think if he'd have taken control earlier, that would probably have been the case, but he came to the party too late and was playing catch-up, he was probably unaware of all juniors prior cock-ups.

    So this September talk of continuing negotiations about the sale again do we think its complete rubbish or do you think there could be others that are interested?
    Sounds like the Americans have gone for good.
