    Foooooooooking rubbish.

    Why dun't they get it sooerted and update us 50 times a day? If they don't I'll post the same sort of thread in myriad different ways.

    (I have seen a screenshot of a tweet but can't access for myself due to Nixon's tweet protection.)

    "sellers raising a couple of issues" sez Nixon.

    It's either '*****' or 'something novel relating to the proposed takeover.' One man's meat, and all that.

    (It could equally be both, I suppose.)

    It's the 'should get done' bit which encourages me. For him to have ANYTHING even vaguely positive to say about us after we snaffled Lindsay from the team he supports makes me feel optimistic.

    Suppose it's the same way the news of the buyout got reported in the fist instance. A confidential "source" thats involved in one of the parties(most likely the buying side, considering he knew that the issues were on behalf of the sellers) "leaks" the state of play to the press...

    Just about to post the same. Consortium leaked the story to the Daily Mail originally didn't they? So much for the NDA...

    Hopefully once it’s completed there will be a bus load of staff off on a customer service course.

    A bloke told me today that he rang the club around noon on Friday to ask what time the game against Crewe would start and was advised 2pm. Based on that response he caught the next bus to town for the match and decided to call for a pint in the Metrodome. Subsequestially went to the game and saw them kick off at 2pm. After a short while Barnsley subbed and he thought thats a bit early to be doing that. Then he heard somebody say whats the score now followed by an an answer of 3 -1. WTF!!!! They'd kicked off at 1pm. ******* he thought.

    Is that the kind of thing you mean? Wonder if YT's reading this?
