Summer 2019 takeover saga

[Blue & Maroon]

Weren't they in administration? It's infinitely more complicated than you realise, clearly.

It took my Mrs' dad months to sell his little company so he could retire, hell of a lot of stress and paperwork and money spent on lawyers. And that was without the FA and Uefa and the national press.

My comment was tongue in cheek which you didn't realise, clearly.

I too sold my own "little company" a few years to a national company so that both myself and my wife could retire and am fully aware of of the stress and paperwork involved.

However, having said that I'm guessing you have no more experience in either buying or selling a Premier League football club than I do.

Then use the appropriate cheeky smileys

"I am being as cheeky as a chimp"

"I am like a cheeky chimp."

Damn auto correct

It's going to be vomit inducing if (when) this falls through and the journalists are all tripping over each other to go 'I TOLD YOU SO!!!' Even though it's abundantly clear at this stage they're all just pissing in the dark.

Twitter has been an absolute cesspool the last two days.

I consider myself suitably chastised and beg forgiveness for my use or, indeed, my lack of use of the appropriate smiley!

Just hope Mike can get this deal over the line

[cg40k]

Hopefully the deal is real and gets finished

[bodacious benny]

More reports coming out of the Middle East that some sort of document has been signed and put forward to the Premier League, may well be bollocks tho.

I don't think it was released to Lee Ryder specifically, just a general press release.

Interesting bit is "The proof of funds statement was forwarded to Mike Ashley’s lawyers on 17 April 2019"...I'm still clinging on to this being why Rafa seemed so much happier in the last couple of months!

Someone want to tell him we like our announcements on a Friday?

Maybe it's an announcement to make sure you know there will be a Friday announcement.

5 days after the Leicester game which confirmed survival too.
