GM met the Belgian fella Lieven yesterday, and said ‘he was very happy’. Lieven that is. That might mean progress was made on the documentation.
The good news from the meeting was that HMRC seem to be satisfied.
The season ticket/bank issue is just prudence in the face of recent uncertainty. No massive deal.
GM is getting ready to start work at The Valley. That’s good news imho. Meire is going to be a tough act to follow ;-)
I get the feeling it’s not far away now. It was only a week ago that the rumour went out the Aussies had formally pulled out. Of course that was bullsh*t, but would still love to know where that rumour came from, as it led to me increasing my ‘pest’ quotient, again :-(
In addition, some personal stuff I can’t divulge means that the Aussies feel it’s definitely happening - it’s ‘when’, rather than ‘if’.
Full respect to GM for leaking zilch re negotiations since May 18th, btw.
Oh god. I've posted that 'It's Happening' gif so many times on this thread now, it's lost all meaning. I think I've got one more left in me though. It'll be my last though so I have to pick my moment.

Hmmm.
Some " personal stuff" eh ?
So, Jimbo, is it the CEO's desk or the FD's desk for you ?

Please note my deft avoidance of timescale.
Duly noted. My patience on such matters has been hardened like a callus over the last 1077 pages.

I’d make a very good head of catering. I think someone’s already nabbed the CEO’s role.

With everything I’ve been involved in the longer things drag on the less likely they are to happen.
Not to say this won’t. But surely by now if there’s still some issues then it’s never going to go forward.
If it is down to not getting in the forms to the EFL well you have to ask yourself why haven’t they been submitted and why are they taking so long. It’s not as if the EFL just make things up as they go along. They have a process and the advisors to the Aussies would know exactly what is required.
From my perspective it’s all very amateur hour here by them. Not saying I don’t want them. But so far they haven’t demonstrated any good reason why we should be looking forward to them coming in other than they can’t possibly be as bad as RD - or can they?

We said that about the spivs, ended up way, way worse.
Fingers crossed this new era will be a better one, I'm not hopeful. Amateur hour is the perfect description, imo.
No offence @JamesSeed but you’ve had more weekly good vibrations than the Beach Boys :-)
Now on their 10th week of residency at Crossbars. Possibly still around for a few more weeks if you haven't seen them yet, but there will be a weekly update on this.

We won’t know if it was ‘amateur hour’ until the facts are known. We haven’t really had any yet, have we?
Even if there turned out to be an element of truth, I’d take it all day long over the alternative.
Agree change is much needed and can’t believe no one wouldn’t welcome it.
However it’s clearly been amateur hour for the past several months! The guys even turned up wearing scarves in the directors box at the end of last season and here we are barely weeks away from the start of the season and we are no better off.

Couldn't the NDA be extended to include this forum, so that we all know the facts? I'm sure we'd all be very discreet, and not tell a soul.
