    doubt it’s a case of not being sure - would be more the complications it might cause a deal. Will be cleaner if it happens once takeover final.

    Americans have always been interested. However, it's my understanding that the other bid is simply well to far down the line for a change. Wouldn't rule out a possible smaller investment linked to American though.

    Comes down to whether it is actually signed, sealed and legally binding.

    This being leaked to the press at such a late stage, suggests it's someone wanting in, who's in danger of missing out. IMO.

    These Sunday paper reports are confusing me a little.

    I didn't honestly believe there was a possibility of more bids for the club.

    If so it's either Donald backtracking once more or I've been quite badly misinformed.

    I still believe the deal with Sartori is the most likely, I was told it would in August and have had nothing to contradict it.

    I think they just had a change of plan to their investment strategy.

    Only two real options by all accounts. One group doing thorough due diligence and the price reducing by the day, the others not so thorough and that's where we ended up.

    If the French lad is taking over, please let him get on with it. Let's hope his DoF is already doing his transition planning, hopefully Donald unlike his mad namesake in the States is not being awkward.

    Jurassic out and 3 so called strikers out and replacements identified.
