    I was told a couple of weeks ago by two sources one that Davison had worked on the paperwork for an agreement with the Americans and another the same info but with the addition that if it comes off it might lose him his job. I dropped a hint on here.

    I’d heard similar. Feel sorry for him but it’s definitely related to a takeover.

    If true it's huge news. I said a while ago that I didn't see how Donald could stay; we wouldn't want him overseeing the football side where he'd admit he hasn't done well, simply doing fan engagement stuff like Chris Waters doesnt seem like a genuine role for a director. The only other thing he could do, that he's good at, is the commercial side (with a bit of the fan stuff that he likes on top) but we had Davison there who seems to have a good reputation. If Davison has gone that's the role Donald takes to stay involved.

    I'll take with a pinch of salt for now mind, after all we also heard O'Brien had joined as a Director and that seems to be bollocks, but if true it must mean the Americans are coming (or, being pessimistic, that we're cutting costs even more, but let's assume it isn't that!)

    I hope it’s the Americans and not O’Briens. No offence meant either but there’s a huge difference in what they can offer.

    You know a lot more than you've let on.

    Almost every time I heard something from the club, you were there posting subtle little hints.

    I don't blame you for posting more tbh.

    You've given me a few laughs though, I can tell you'd love to post what you know :)

    Looks like it could be happening. Bob hinted that something is about to go down although he said it would be yesterday.

    I'm flying down to London this evening to stop over at my friend's before Wycombe. If it might be announced today you can damn well be sure it'll be when I'm on that plane. Be a nice boost when I'm surrounded by him and his Championship and PL supporting friends.

    How about if he was the leak, and that’s been uncovered? That would explain why he’s gone!

    Not saying you're wrong but I'd doubt it. I think we've all a good idea where the leaks were coming from.
