I don't know why people are still getting worked up about this. Assume it's off, forget about Mimms, Golfmag, whoever the other bloke was they're all just ITKs. They may well have good information but it doesn't mean anything. Amanda Staveley could pop on the forum and say 'It's looking good guys' and I still wouldn't get that excited because a lot of things are out of the buyers hands.
Come back at the end of the season and see.
