    Journos are pretty adamant this isn’t related, especially George Caulkin who’s usually spot on.

    Think this is another false alarm.

    Caulkin is saying that it's a categorical denial. Staveley has set the company up to aquire new businesses into the PCP Holdings Group.

    I will believe it when it happens. Until then I am afraid we have the king of royal **** ups at the helm.

    Which means until he signs over the ownership anything could happen.

    I don’t want to piss on anyone’s parade as I am hoping it goes through soon so we can sign some players but you can’t help but feel he will always want the last laugh!

    So, this Tom chappy has studied law for 5 years!!

    My daughter is a partner at one of the biggest law firms in the world. She advises on EU, UK and multi-jurisdictional merger control and antitrust regulation as well as public procurement and state aid law.

    This has got nothing to do with the takeover of NUFC....I'm just bragging...:emoticon-0105-wink:

    The pessimist in me won't allow me to get excited until this is all done and dusted. Too many years of being hurt by this **** up of a club that we love so much makes me cynical. So for now I am assuming this is all a massive wind up by our neighbours down the road to relieve some of their utter despair from their own miserable season.

    "Let's tell the horse-punchers that they are being bought by rich arabs"

    "What would be a good name to combine horse puncher with arabs?"

    "Let's call the company Canter Veil"

    "Nah too obvious - how about Cantervale?"

    Tell her, then, I apologise. She'll be working on the code that I wrote the document management systems on. Assuming that she's based in Silk Lane or whatever the name of the street the Barbican building is on. Had a good stint there and a half decent, but mad, firm (most of them were, as I found out in my legal IT consultancy days).

    It worries me how well that all fits in together! I, like you, am a pessimistic bastard

    She is based at Silk Street and was only saying yesterday she wishes the code that the document management systems was written on was easier to understand...<laugh>

    Our DMS system is a nightmare too. I get 5 emails a day pestering me to approve the invoices and they keep bouncing back every day.

    Given that things are being denied... is it worth pointing out that Cantervale is an Anagram of Can’t reveal....
