The last few words of that article drive me fucking insane. "efforts are continuing".
The thing that seems quite weird is that if Ashley was so desperate to wash his hands of the club, he'd be going all out to sell it. But to me, Seymour Pierce, Ashley, Llambias, everyone: they don't seem arsed about getting rid of it quickly. Surely a sale should be push and pull, not just one (pull, in this case seemingly).
I just get this vision of them sitting in an office with all the fans on, shirts unbuttoned, with faces like smacked arses sitting staring at the phone, waiting for it to ring. Something is a bit fishy about this whole sale, there doesn't seem to be any urgency from Ashley whatsoever, which I find funny because he's a man who thinks in cold hard cash, and our players wages alone will be draining money from his coffers every single day that goes by.
