I love this forum One poster - 'The deal is still alive, it can still happen, Amanda is just playing the ultimate game of brinkmanship' Next poster - 'The deal is dead, I'm burning my season ticket and I'm off to support Mongolian Yak polo'

I guess that links in with people are saying above

Technically that has been the case since the contract of sale expired but the test has still been going on. Staveley has clearly indicated that the O&D test process is still open. So the theory being that yesterday’s events were just to allow the consortium to put massive pressure on the PL but at cost of £15m (or whatever the exact deposit was)?

How can the O&D process still be open for a group that don’t have an actively agreed bid in with a club?

Poll needed

If that’s the case then I hope their lawyers bum the Premier League into oblivion

Keeping him sweet for the next 10 attempts

Giving Greggs on legs an 8 year contract extension is about the only way today gets any worse

Make sure your fridge works

Does that mean we can call off the plane watchers now?

Look on the bright side, I’m sure Ashley will be ploughing his £15m deposit straight back into the club

Agent Mauriss has done his job and can withdraw now

Oh fuck, forgot about him

NUFC

They literally just have

He looks like a stock image that appears when you search for the term ‘smarmy dick head’

I'm more pessimistic now than I was before, if its with Ashley then something will go wrong. Its not with Ashley, he's long passed deciding on owt, he's just waiting for his money. Except he's heard he'll get £50m more if he manages to cancel this and go with Mauriss... £10m more, surely? Would Ashley really screw over some of the most powerful people on the planet at this stage for an extra £10m, I doubt it.

The lawyers must be loving this entire long steamy shit show

I think an online petition would be more effective

This is probably an incredibly naive interpretation of the situation and how these things work, but surely the lack of leaks throughout the process is a positive sign for the negotiations. I appreciate that the process is confidential and anyone going outside the process runs the risk of massive penalties (I'm assuming), but surely if the buyers were super pissed off they would be tempted to provide a few interesting nuggets of information to a journo or two to help exert some public pressure on the PL.

Not feeling it with this thread, I think the next one has more chance of success
