The only reason the sale to the Americans fell through was because Peter Grieves didn't wear a tie. The Chinese have dressed in appropriate suits complete with ties and properly buttoned up shirts. Hence they're a good home.
I hope you're right Obi, genuinely However it's impossible (for me anyway) to be anything but cynical Even if it is going ahead I can't help but thinking that them being public about it right now is an attempt to divert attention for some wavering protesters Just like I still think the leaks from the club about the Americans (and it wasn't just the Yanks telling the world about it) were timed to boost membership sales I simply can't manage to trust them, and I think there enough history to make that a reasonable / understandable position
That maybe down to the Chinese and we have until the end of August. We won't be relegated in August, September or October. As Leicester City showed, its how you finish, not how you start.
In all seriousness I don't think they ever met Grieve. There were a few calls and they were supposed to meet in London at one point but Ehab didn't turn up.
I bet the are not many clubs in PL history who've started crap and finished strongly! We've certainly never done it. I back end season performances at the highest level have always been poor. We won't be relegated in August, September or October but every point we drop in those months will make it harder to stay up. Likewise the later (and we are already way late) we leave it to do our transfer business the harder it will be...
They did meet up that weekend, just not on the day that was originally planned, due to Ehab being a cock.
Meltdown? Sorry lad, but you couldn't inspire a meltdown in me, just bemusement. I did read the post, you suggest he wasn't as ill as claimed, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Even from you, that's pretty low. It's also ironic considering you really do act in the same way you accuse them of.
So now there are other interested parties looking to buy us ? Strange that .. those 'itk' were adamant there was no one else interested after Grieve pulled out ! As i said then while some had some info no one had it all contrary to their own beliefs
