Going to the Valley at lunchtime, will have a scout to see if I notice anyone or anything unusual in the car park/vicinity (apart from Christensen repairing the pot holes)

In that case I'll go to the training ground. That way we've got the bases covered

Right, I went down the training ground and it was deserted apart from about a dozen or so seagulls. No doubt about it Eric Cantona is involved in this takeover.
So no one at the training ground, that's unusual, doesn't the manager normally do his weekly press conference there? Also training at the Valley is unusual. So everyone's at the Valley. Now I don't want to jump to conclusions but.................
I am now Llera's official stalker, he had to stop to let me in the car park, Chris Dickson was parked right in front of me, so they were definitely training there today, car park was packed, and saw a few people in big cars with club ties pulling in as I left.
Popped into the club shop before I left and Llera was in there trying to get new boots and buying the new home shirt, got his autograph for my son.

Players have to buy their boots in the Club shop? What is the world coming to....?
still no official news then... i can't really understand why they'd delay announcing it if it was done. Announce it early and shift some extra tickets for saturday i would have thought. oh well.
[cite]Posted By: SoundAsa£[/cite]Yes yes yes......................................... but any white Luton Vans with Dartford Motors written all over them?

Why do you think he had to go to The Valley? ;-)
Damn, foiled again.
He was asking the retail guy (Chris?) about a new model of boots that Joma have just released and could he get them etc.
I now believe the deal has been done, fully, and no announcement will take place until after the transfer window closes at the earliest - this is so we can maintain our bargaining position which might be damaged if we were now perceived to have more cash. This is signalled by retention of key players (Bailey now named as captain) despite big money offers from other clubs (like Chelsea) and what will follow is more reports of interest from Charlton and hijacking of deals.
This all points to a softly softly approach, although whether this is major Arab type money will remain to be seen, regardless the approach will be modest at least at first as the current crop with some tinkering around the edges is seen as strong enough to gain promotion.
Very quiet in the Lib Club. Only other drinker is Youds - apparently he has been in there for 48 hours. I asked him whether he knew about the consotium buy out and he threw a punch. Going to try the Con Club......

It would be great to think that but could it really be kept quiet until then. The one thing that's been bothering me during this whole suspended state is that there are no real concrete rumours at all as to the potential buyer's identity (apart from Varney 'brokered') - notwithstanding NDAs it seems unusual. Maybe we've learnt from the Zabeel experience and everyone's become expert in keeping mum but it's nagging at me.

Agree that it seems inconceivable that nothing with regard to the buyers has leaked. Imho opinion I see nothing that convinces me that any deal has been finalised. Talks ongoing still is my guess.

Back in April the club didn`t say anything at all.
In that case I'll go to the training ground. That way we've got the bases covered
