The next step must be to find out that Dominic is part of the Saudi royal family.
He's far too honest and decent.

Pointless getting hyped up about this. Been in the works for too long. Seems like it's going to fall through again. I honestly don't think the FCB wants to sell.

If it does go ahead however, I might just have to polish of my stocks of single malt!

I can imagine MA being an extremely difficult person to deal with.

Whilst he comes across as very straight talking he is very astute and clearly not under pressure to sell.

If you saw him addressing the commons select committee it was a real eye opener as he comes across very well. Sharp as they come and far from fat!

He’s a switched on bloke as far as business is concerned, not doubt at all.

If, as is widely reported that, deposit and contracts are exchanged he‘s got no say in things without leaving himself open to litigation from the Saudi state. Patience gentlemen, patience.

I had a bet a few months back with a colleague that this wouldn't happen. I'm still confident there's no sign of it happening.

They're waiting until the pubs have reopened before any announcement, months to go.

Alright Ray, getting bored of it, bored of no marks delighting in taking a pop at a fan base used, abused and without any ability to do sweet fa about the situation and just wanting rid of the fat arse and to have a bit of hope.

Hypocrisy and jealousy abounds. Especially from those who only ever seem to delight in others misfortune. fk ‘em. If we’re hated after this I just don’t fking care. Media always have for years, hence why they’ve not done their bloody job for a decade, bar a few notable exceptions.

Is there any end to the misery at your place or has that fella from Oxford made off with the cash? Does seem a tad dodgy at first glance.
And you think you lot have it bad biggrin

Not got an exclusivity on bad owners!

Hope you’re keeping well during this ongoing madness.

I'd take Ashley over our lot, if he ever sells you and he wants back in to the game biggrin

I reckon Leagues One and Two are going to be in the st; it wouldn't surprise me if half of the clubs down here went bust, many live week to week, month to month. I'd fancy our chances over most others at surviving but I could see the league's being amalgamated at some point, or reduced in size.

I have a feeling that they will likely resist any attempts to restart playing in the future until crowds can come back in full which makes sense.

So WTO report is out and seems to say some negative stuff, 4/10 allegations have merit I think I read, but others were dismissed. Not sure that actually adds to the sum of our knowledge or helps in any way for or against.

Ahh, well.
