    I believe that constitutes permission. So no complaining if anyone does that in the Earl next time we see you!!

    BBC reporting new bidders. Probably actually not good news. No hope of this being done before the end of the month. Therefore no players

    Ashley's PR people working overtime. Mike Ashley is possibly the stupidest person in the business world. Gambling and it will go titsup.

    I'm pretty confident that if I go down to the woods today I won't get a big surprise. Windy or otherwise.

    You might get a big surprise if it's Penshaw woods. Not a good one either...

    I genuinely believe that he actually has very little business acumen and he has just been incredibly fortunate to get where he is................... i mean how could a reasonably intelligent man look at Penfold and JFK and Pards and Wise and think............. 'those are the guys to protect my multi million pound investment'................ 'especially that little dumpy pig faced ****er that brings the tea and biscuits in'................. 'ill promote him'

    Mark my words, Ashley WILL **** up this takeover..........100%

    Ashley's strategy for at least the last 6 years has been to run the club on as little as possible until someone comes and buys us and he gets his money back. There have been a few sub-strategies but he's wanted out for a long time now. He lives to piss people off and he'll push any buyer to the limit but he'll sell - I suspect at the end of the season as long as we have stayed up (which we will).

    I would like to go for the "No Takeover Before The End of This and the Next Decades". I understand that I may have to wait a while for the t-shirt, or perhaps I could make a mention of it in my Will.

    I think you'll find I still have 9 and a half hours to go!!!!

    #keepthefaith









    Plus, I didn't specify year - at midnight I'll still be in this with the possibility of Tuesday 16th January 2024, 2029 or 2035. I'll give up after 2035 as I'll probably be dead by 2046 anyway <laugh>

    And if I'm not dead by then, Fat Mike's heart should definitely have given up by then anyway!!
