    I spoke to Mr White briefly.
    No way on earth was he attention seeking, he had a beany hat pulled down, his voice was the give away.
    From my brief conversation I remember he said 'if I can get it over the line for you I would', that the interview with Roland left him feeling 'exhausted'. I got the feeling that nothing is (yet????) certain by a long chalk.
    I shook his hand and thanked him for keeping the profile of the story up.
    Seemed genuine to me.

    You could argue that the fact that he even bothered to turn up, beany hat or no beany hat, is attention seeking within its own right. Why?

    The problem you have when you start giving specifics with timings is that your held to them, something is happening how close or far is anyones guess and thats all it is pure guess work

    JW may have the best contact of all as I belive he is getting fed by RD regardless of him saying publicly its the broker but we all know Rd is a liar and a loonie so even that info needs to be taken with caution, however its only been the info that has leaked from that side that has been spot on thus far

    Henners and airman have both indicated that senior and knowledgeable people within the club have indicated progressive movement but even those folks are treading with caution

    I dont think its the same aussies I think it may have sone of them in and that they may have broken away from the original pack and formed their own with new backer as I could never see the old format working in how it was being proposed too many players imo

    Or its a streamlined version of the consortium

    Whatever it is this feels slightly more promising and as such I am very optimistic that we may finally be heading round the finishing straight,


    Finishing line in sight but a way to go to be reached

    It’s not guesswork, it’s an informed estimate. He’s been given a timetable and he’s passed it on. Without it that’s the first question he would have been asked. It would also be a weaker story so I don’t blame him for that, although I agree it’s high risk.

    I do think JW was a bit too gung-ho for his own good on Friday and I think he’s realised that, but it appears there are people in the club who are just as bullish if not more.
    Just wanted to commend you for getting that right mate! Bet you also know how to say 'lackadaisical' properly. :wink:

    Doesn’t someone on here have a contact at the EFL and if so anything to report...?

    Looks like Terry to me - good spot!

    Texted him on Friday after the JW revelations. :smiley:

    He returns to work from his Christmas holidays tomorrow

    Pretty sure JW said that the EFL had already approved the fit and proper test.
    Sure that was said on Friday
    Pretty sure he didn't.

    IIRC he said the fit and proper test wouldn't be a problem.

    I've two rooms booked for Tuesday and Wednesday night at The Stayen if you want them - I've got until 11pm tonight to cancel them FOC.
    I would but i have read some horrible reviews on this hotel.
    I'm always in two minds.

    I've had to cancel my last 42 bookings there - which is a shame.
    If I were you I wouldnt give up... there is nothing wrong being in two minds

    If you have to cancel 100 times then thats just the beauty of using Booking.com

    I’m sure that as any deal comes to a conclusion one way or another the final few days are crucial. If there is a “big meeting “ why on earth wouldn’t it be crucial?
    Really think some of the sniping at JW is actually hilarious. He’s putting out what he has heard. That’s it.

    I could suggest that as you don’t want to read anything other than when it’s all fact and completed or it collapses you don’t open this thread. Just wait for WIOTOS as Henners would say.

    So it's gone from it'll be done last week, to done this week, now to a crucial meeting that presumably could mean it falls through.
