    Don't think the takeover is anywhere near imminent the way Bowyer is talking about signing up players that are out of contract soon and the fact that we have paid money for two players suggest to me that Roland will be with us for a while!
    For the twunt to have sanctioned any transfer fees at all, led me to think he believed a sale was close.  He got agreement from alleged bidders to sanction LB's package.  The risible old liar is on record as not wanting to saddle the club with future liabilities (I've paraphrased his words into actual English as what is used by actual English people) so he ain't signing up CAFC to wage bills for 2 or 3 years without some assurance his (imagined) bidders are agreeable, i.e. they're not about to quibble about being lumbered with LB, The Cat, etc.
    The deafening silence this last week makes me think roly's confidence in the progress is waning.  No news in this case not being good news.
    I realise I'm crediting the hilarious old bungler with some consistency in his behaviour, he's not learned one damned thing in 5 years ruining CAFC, so my money's on he's let these latest enquirers through his crooked bony fingers and we're stuck with him til xmas at least.
    I can imagine no fate too brutal or degrading could come his way that would trouble me one iota.

    Boris as PM blundering us out of the EU into economic catastrophe seems barely troubling in comparison.

    Personally speaking, I'm worried for @happyvalley.  After the sturm und drang in these pages over the last weeks, it must feel like going cold turkey...

    And, worst of all, 1889 was going to be a doozy, what with Preston North End winning the first Football League, Sheffield United being formed, the first incarnations of Nintendo, Coca Cola and Michelin, the opening of the Eiffel Tower, the Land Rush in Oklahoma, and, as Jimmy Cricket would say, there's more.

    It's cruel, I tell you.

    Edit - Bugger, that's torn it.

    I guess he can't justify selling without enough players either but we're not even somewhere in between.

    1889, London Dockers go on strike for a minimum wage of sixpence an hour which they eventually win.

    Pay dirt?
    Is this some kind of word association game now?

    I am trying to stay positive and hopeful that background talks are going on between Dalman and Roland. Even by Roland's standards this is a weird situation. Bowyer is confident in getting 3 or 4 last week. Odd that nothing has happened? Roland knows this is the best offer he is ever going to get.. he has spent minimum.  Bowyer doesn't seem concered or frustrated all and said "we will surpise people this year". There has only been one message put out to the Standard. Was that to get Roland negotiating.. We have had no rant from RD, no update on his website him slating Dalman etc.
