Being top of the CL Predictions League, you're already a hero to many of us.Taxi_Lad said:Just had Amanda Staveley in my cab. Asked her about Mike Ashley and the rumour about being linked with us. She said she wasn't aware. Said he's asking for too much money (sound familiar?)
She's off the Abu Dhabi on Thursday so I asked her to sell them the idea of investing in us instead. Imagine if that happened. I'd be a hero!
There's a long way to go2 -
Yes, it's amazing how a bit of decent communication from de cloob (by Richard Murray) - albeit prompted by the proposed CARD protest - has quietened everything down on this topic. Maybe de cloob could learn from this lesson?happyvalley said:Thread nearly dropped off first page.

Amazing how that Taxi Driver always manages to find women who want to sleep with him on a whim. He must be a lapsed Spurs fan.

Three lads up at the bar wondered if that might have been your group as it was on the way in from the M62.The Red Robin said:

Ah no, it was just two of us in the end. Two of us going to Blackpool as well. Not sure what our pre-match plans are yet.RedChaser said:

Probably the Pump and Truncheon looks good for us, real ale pub, then maybe the Old Bridge House nearer the ground.The Red Robin said:

Getting exciting now.
Pump and Truncheon sounds good - what time will Roland be there to conclude the sale?

Ha,ha it's an ideal venue for him from a security point of view as the Lancashire Constabulary is just across the road hence the Truncheon part of the titleOggy Red said:

According to someone on the 'dark side' who has just messaged saying the cub is sold and will be completed early Feb to an ex footballer and a Brit Tweeted by a Fred Davidson

This was posted on the summary of trust meeting with RM thread, thought i'd stick it here as well3 -
So someone has bought the cub and rather than get it done with six days of the transfer window left they are going to wait until it closes before completion. Doesn’t auger well does it.1

Is that Jims son?2

But is it ex-footballer AND a Brit - i.e. two people - or is it ex-footballer who is a Brit?superclive said:British ex footballer. Paul Elliott??
Beckham is worth almost as much as two sheds???
Or it could be McLeish and Muir.1 -
Just check Fred's Twitter and can't see this on there. Although the times are allowed shop so might have missed it2

If it could be any ex player. Who would you want. Beckham would be un real.0

Forget about it. His interest is in MLS and setting up a team in Florida.superclive said:If it could be any ex player. Who would you want. Beckham would be un real.

Thanks Henry - as many have said, his preffered bidder must be someone with money to get us to the prem in order to pay back Roland’s debts (if he’s structured the deal that way).Henry Irving said:

Interesting to see if Mcleish goes on to become Scotland manager how it might scupper the deal0 -
He does have a son, Fred and I think he posts on here @AFKABartram ?superclive said:Is that Jims son?

Interesting that Murray didn't use the term "preferred bidder" with the Trust but that was reported to have been said to the staff the day before.J BLOCK said:

As said before, when a new owner is thinking with 5-6 years into the future in mind then one week of a January transfer window doesn't really matter in the bigger picture.ShootersHillGuru said:So someone has bought the cub and rather than get it done with six days of the transfer window left they are going to wait until it closes before completion.
