    The CEO of one of the clubs sponsors has been informed that Duchatelet has sold. That’s what this implies ?

    I’m certainly not suggesting that this is wrong but if the club is putting the news out there to sponsors then a, it’s very close and b, it’s only a matter of time before the sports media gets wind. The club are obviously now comfortable that people not on non disclosure agreements are in the loop. If that’s correct I would think the identity of the preferred bidder will come to light very soon as well.

    I am not sure what Red Bull is? I am sixty on Saturday and I know what fat coke, squash, good Cornish and Kent ale and last of all whatHorlicks is.

    It tastes like bull urine and holds the secret to human flight. Best enjoyed with a Pot Noodle.
    Ok, I’ve got all those ingredients in front of me for what sounds like will be a delicious meal, but how do I cook the pot noodle?
    Boil Red Bull in kettle then pour over pot noodle. Leave to stand for 5 mins before stirring, chucking it in the bin and then reaching for the Just Eat app.
    From takeover to takeaway. Finally a transition that makes sense!

    Depends which sponsor. I can think of at least one who would get information from other sources than the club. There is no obvious reason for the club to tell sponsors in advance. The relationship is with the club, not the owner.

    Could it have been a former sponsor who stopped sponsoring because of Roland and the club is reaching out to bring them back because he's going?

    Unlikely that would be a priority before a deal is announced. I would surmise that someone who also sponsors other clubs has caught up with gossip.

    I am bemused by the sheer determination of CL to make Red Bull our new owners when the evidence suggests they are not even in the fray. It's like a joke that has been way over stretched but still sort of amusing. Doh!

    Depends if there were some weavering people in the room, and a change of ownership would convince them to hand over the cash?

    February 18th is a Sunday? Why would anybody go to the extra expense of paying lawyers, etc. double time for a Sunday rather than wait 24 hours?
    In the mortal words taken from the song The Conveyancer by Craig David -

    "Monday
    Took her for a drink on Tuesday
    We were making love by Wednesday
    And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
    We chilled… and on Sunday, presided over a football club sale for double buuuuuubble...."

    Obviously they asked the CEO if his company wanted to sponsor the new ground by the Thames Barrier.

    I might sort myself out a celebratory Red Bull(TM) and microwave a Pot Noodle(TM) to welcome our new Austrian ownership.

    The lawyers could be charging a fixed fee.
