Post: #188 RE: SOLD.. ???? I think its happening, the fact they've come out publicly and stated they are buying us would just make them look stupid, and thats last thing Sheikhs and Middle East business men want for their reputation. Maybe the fact the Liverpool purchase failed bodes well for us as they won't want the embarrassment all over again. Can see an announcement at end of month to coincide with Rafa stopping.

Every year it's the same thing, it just seems to get a bit further along to fool the fans. It'll all be a complete waste of everyone's time once the transfer window closes and we end up with Longstaff at Man United and Colback 'bossing' the midfield.

So why would BZG put out fake statements? Same reasons Staveley, Kenyon, the bloke from Sage, and whoever else has been linked with buying the club for the last decade or so. Ashley pays them to pretend to show an interest to a) sell season tickets and b) to have an excuse for zero transfer activity.

Post: #197 RE: SOLD.. ???? Bit of a contradiction to say it's pretent until it actually happens as you are suggesting there is a possibility of it happening. Every season Ashley is finding it difficult to compete with other premier league clubs and the club needs the investment he is not prepared to or can afford to make. Now is a good time for a buyer with a few quid to buy the club. Latest reports suggesting the takeover will be done by the end of the month, bit coincidental and suspicious it's the same time Rafa's contract is up but it's still plausible.

Post: #203 SOLD.. ???? The few opening statements weeks ago from NUFC and the Sheikhs group is all we have had really so far. Both parties have signed the none disclosure thing and are now not saying a word. The press dont have a clue whats going on, no one does. The only thing im clinging on to is that neither party has come out and said its bollocks yet. Im sure NUFC were way more vocal with the Stavely and Kenyon bids, so im hoping this silence, whilst frustrating, is a sign that it is still going through.
