    Someone on here suggested we should look to sign Jon Stead, can't think who that was <whistle>
    He's no Mark Viduka but he'll do a job.

    I think he is an awful player, I just hope he isn't seen as a McCormack replacement.

    Believe me Ristac I dont think he's all that either, but he's the type of **** player we'll be in the market for. Not as a replacement for McCormack, but as back up to Becchio.

    To think how excited I was when we signed Pearce, talk about your hopes fading fast.

    Think about how he must feel. A takeover is the only thing that could get our season back on track now.

    How do you think Pearce feels?!! Not as described in the brochure! None of it makes any sense, for the sake of £400,000 we'd have got a player whose true value is around £1.5M, someone who could help Pearce settle in and vice versa.
    It's total bollocks, all this "ground first team second".

    Maple leaf sports have distanced themselves from a take over via Twitter, but the other rumour is some arab guy who has something to do with Malaga !!!

    A well placed source at #LUFC has just told me that that the takeover rumours are VERY real. Bates feels under pressure from fans. #BatesOut


    Retweeted by WACCOE

    The rumour mill continues. please be true.

    Bates feels under pressure because not enough fans are spending and he is in the ****. It could all have been so different if he wasnt such a twit. LUFC is such a cashcow if run prudently and with the supporter as king.

    I so want this rumour to be true but can't help but feel it was started by some enthusiastic fans in hope and desperation more than a reality...

    Not sure about Smith, Derry 'the mole' not sure I would want him back and Kenny looked awful against Man City - Not very inspiring compared to Ward.

    I don't think Derry was ever the mole. It's crossed my mind that there wasn't ever a mole and Dennis wise just said it.

    Do we have to mention specific names here?

    Maple Leaf made a bid weeks ago and Bates' 'cash on the table' attitude apparently drove them away.

    The Qatar Sports thing was merely the usual Twitter rumour-mill process: someone says they'd like them to takeover LUFC, someone else says they might be doing after reading the first tweet, and then gets retweeted to ****, with loads of other Twitter-zombies rehashing it and saying it's #DefinitelyHappening.

    Luckily, it doesn't appear the actual bidder (IF there is indeed a takeover attempt) has been named yet, but the information fetishists will obviously be loving it if the name does come out so they can Google the **** out of them and be more 'in the know' than they were before, regardless of whether it's a good thing for the future of the club or not.

    Rant complete.

    Almost there people. Hopefully by the time we play the 'Wall, we might just have a clear picture of how much Warnock will have to play with in the JTW. All in all the end is nigh for Papa Smurf. As someone once said, "rejoice in that news"
