    I think the drip drip to the FF and more full on leaks to the media during transfer windows is entirely consistent with a ‘sales process’ designed to keep buyers interest and or flush them out. LdT has admitted he is completely focussed on selling the club and all of the above could well be part of that.

    They have turned away recent interest on the basis they have a deal.
    I so want that sentence to be true.
    I just hope you haven't got your head in the clouds Airman.
    It is true to my certain knowledge, but I would continue to caution that he is delusional and it doesn’t mean he is right this time any more than before.

    Jim White about to talk about us again in a bit says sale could be done early next week.

    Early next week seems a long 48 hours from his comments earlier this week?

    I hope Jim White tells us the potential buyer is waiting to see what division we’re in.
    Or will he say that next week? Either way it’ll be said soon enough, which is good, as that’s my fave...

    Just said he understands fit and proper test is no problem, no idea if he thinks that has been done, Monday or Tuesday it should be done. Time obviously moves slower in Scotland.

    That is the club’s current line, no question.
  • Never known anything drag on like this. The can has been kicked down the road so many times, there can be barely anything left of it. Next Tuesday will probably come and go.......
  • Wouldn't surprise me if Jim White is getting a fee for advertising the sale either.

    Anyone who may be interested knows full well that the club is for sale.

    It's not the DFS sale!

  • It’s funny (peculiar not ha ha) that we’ve gone in something like 48 hours from being excited and optimistic about this latest upsurge in rumours to despondent and cynical.

    Who could blame us.

    There are a number of us on here that have not been excited or optimistic in the last 48 hours. Jim White makes a living out of talking nonsense on "Talkshite" and it would take a lot more than a press release from him to get my juices flowing.
    But it has been from just more than him.

    Who else has said this? Even Jim White is rather vague.
    The one thing I can think of is, it is in the owners interest, as he wants to sell, is to keep the story going and talk up the market, if that is possible to do with a third tier club that loses money like its going out of fashion.

    Not to get all Charlton and trainspotty, but I'm going to anyway.

    It does look a bit like London Bridge, specifically the big long corridor from platforms 1-9 (ish) that extends toward the Tube/Tooley and Duke St, the one with the toilets and M&S/Smiths/MAC etc down it, which is still being renovated. OR - it's that little wing by the Krispy Kreme and cash machines which is also still being renovated.

    ... I know way too much about the station for my own good
    Thats where I'd have said it was; either that or the bus station is just to the right
  • Jesus, it might actually be happening! It feels right this time

    Anyone know of a sniper in the LB area?
    I'm sure we could all chip in to pay the fee.
