    So Duffen isn't trying to buy the club with the backing of Saudi investors? Don't you want to wait until there's news of a deal being off, before you make such a concrete statement?

    Yeah they said Christmas, they didn't foresee the deal being held up. Nothing has come out to suggest it's off, all people are doing are being pessimistic because it's easier somehow to think that way than be patient.

    I tend to think it also reflects the way the shyte hawks in charge have continually done their business be it by upping the price after allegesly agreeing deals, or moving goal posts to try and squueze more money out of prospective buyers .. i am amazed how they have built a business with antics like this tbh.

    Yes, they have kept doing that, but when that happened previously, we found out the deal was off. We haven't been told that yet, so for all intents and purposes, the deal is still going on.

    I’m with you sterling, all the other attempts that failed we knew about. I’m sure if duffens has failed we’d have known about it because he loves a bit of media attention.....assuming he actually had a bid in for us of course

    I agree. That statement to say “Bowen is not for sale” rather than the usual “ it’ll cost a huge bid..” says to me someone else is dictating play, rather than the Allams.

    I'm guessing you're a glass-half-full kinda guy.

    Can't understand why Spurs want him to be honest. Who knows.
    If I was advising him I'd tell him to sit tight until summer his price is only going up.

    Anybody remember the ehab interview stating communications with fans will improve over the coming months?

    Is he a compulsive liar

    It would give them cover until the end of the season as they have no back-up for wide positions. I expect if he did join Spurs he'd end up like Danny Drinkwater.

    That was what Gollum said, between sniffs, you knows and I means on Sportstalk tonight. So not grounds for optimism, really if that is what he thinks.

    Based on previous outcomes, no. But as I said, we found out if the deal was off before, I expect if it is cancelled we will be told again. It's easier to just wait and see, rather than just assume it's already off.

    I suspect the ‘now exploring other options’ release was just to give Duffen’s mob a kick up the arse.

    But we KNOW there was. There was a deal going through, we were told that. The only thing we haven't been told is that it's off.

    This self deprecating malarkey is funny at times, but it gets tiresome when we're discussing things that actually matter. Yes, we've been shat on from a great height before, more than once. But we've been told (by a source that ISN'T Ehab, can't stress enough how important that is) that a sale is ongoing. Until we hear that it isn't, there's no need for this bullshit "there isn't any sale going on". Some of you sound like Newcastle fans. Just wait.
