    The interest may just be paying the interest on loans he took out to fund the club.
    But I agree with your general point.

    ...but you have to deal with Papa Doc and Ehaw so nothing is certain.

    Obviously I'm aware, that the 'I'll be gone in 24 hours' and 'I'll give it away for a pound' were lies, but at least now we have confirmation that he'll only sell if he's offered more than it's worth.

    It seems pretty obvious or the yanks would be our owners

    I think a mixture of greed and spite are at play

    Don't know what to expect really, does it make sense the allams not investing as surely any potential new manager ain't going to touch us with a barge pole , I think a lot of managers are aware the allams are sly and disruptive now add that to no cash to spend and it's a managers nightmare. In the biggest spending league having the biggest spending season ever and your to take charge of a team with nothing to spend.

    So on the flip side will the allams go back on what they told Bruce and make quite abit of cash available to secure us as a premiership team and get more prem prize money/to money

    Time will tell and in our case it's probably all be revealed last minute

    I wouldn't actually mind Martinez I think as long as he's backed properly (the 100 million dollar question) then we could stay up.

    Does the internet just give people a heightened sense of entitlement?

    Why obvious? What was the structure of the deal?

    I warned TWS to be careful what they wished for when they were glad to see the back of Bates. There are some that would have him back now. I'm not saying to stick with the Allams, simply pointing out that all that glitters, isn't always gold.

    People will believe what it suits them to believe, without looking a bit more closely at things and deciding for themselves.

    What exactly have you looked into here?

    You obviously have no idea what's going on but are taking this contrary stance just because it's the opposite of OLM. There's no evidence whatsoever to suggest there was any issue with the Americans or their payment terms. Absolutely no suggestion that they didn't have the funds. In fact both OLM and I have information that they did provide proof of funds more than once when a price was agreed.

    That's an incredibly arrogant post from you.

    It's **** all to do with OLM's position or taking a contrary stance you tit. And you have no idea what I do or don't know.

    That's a typically clueless and argumentative post from you.

    Russell Bartlett proved he had the funds when he bought Hull City. Adam Pearson and his backer walked away with the money. We got promoted to the Premier League for the first time in our history, got the high and then the hangover followed. Bartlett, had in effect, bought the club with our own money, over spent and left us facing administration. Anything that moved and our future income was mortgaged to the eyeballs and we couldn't pay the bills.

    So what is there to suggest that these Americans would do anything similar? They're getting loads of **** thrown at them here from the three of you based on absolutely nothing.

    Considering the amount of meaningless posts from Dutch and Chazz about 'blaming everything on the Allams' when it actually blatantly is the Allams to blame and there's plenty of evidence available, it seems strange that those two are now, with your help, throwing these completely baseless claims around regarding the Americans.
