David Craig just been on SSN saying that Shearer likely to be announced late this week or early next week - once bidder has proved they can raise the £100m, they get access to the data room (online books, due diligence etc - designed to speed up the process) and apparently Seymour Pierce are saying they will ask the buyers after they've had a look at the books online whether they want Shearer in or not - and then will discuss that with Llambias and Shearer. If it's true, good news. At least Pierce seem to be doing their best to speed this up - good to wait a few extra days if it means a sale is sped up by a few extra weeks.

Selling an 8-12 goal a season Premiership striker for £7m, and replacing him with a 20-25 goal a season Championship striker for less than half of that isn't the worst idea in the world tbh. How many 20-25 goal a season Championship strikers have even managed to get 12 goals a season in the Premiership? Chopra. oh, hang on...

This, and yet whenever I say that I'm told that he's class for Italy he is a donkey

Didn't even hear the sarcophagus open.

Aye, cp40 is right... chill out, be continental.

And we'd lose the lot.

Owen wouldn't stay in the Championship. There's more chance of him turning up at Real Oviedo ala Collymore.

Charismatic? I've seen more charisma come out of Al Gore's arse.

"Although, this year's fixture list was thrown into disrepute, as despite their relegation from that top division, Newcastle still managed to be drawn away to fucking Wigan on Boxing Day, and this fixture was the only one to have a score printed next to it: 1-0 (R. Taylor o.g.)"

They've just stopped off for a bacon and egg stottie and a coffee.

You must be loving that Dave, nows your chance to become ULTIMATE RESERVE WATCHER as all of those aren't far from your neck of the woods. EDIT: Well, some are. I saw Leeds, Bradford and Rotherham and assumed all of them would be.

Christ, where's indi when you need him? He made an excellent post last week detailing exactly why we will not be going into administration. I'm bored of hearing the word.

Still a few short.

Bristol City I do believe, Jon. I think, anyway.

He's English, should be able to fetch at least fourteen times that amount

You are a jizz-cock.

That defender. Oh dear!

what's funny about that? written by a west ham fan. according to a report i just read Zola is going to offer £3million for Andy Carroll. he'd be a good signing. hope we don't sell, not at that price anyway.

This reminds me of when you play as a top 4 side on FM and you draw Bradford Park Avenue in the FA Cup.

So easy, 3-0 and a hat-trick in 16 mins for Torres. Great cross by Riera, and flung himself at that ball.

All too easy for Spain. Game now being watched on mute.

It's probably easier and nicer to interview Given than Supermac tbh, with Given the reporter got to fly over to Marbella and chat to him during a party/event. I'm sure he'd much rather that than standing outside The Strawberry in the pissing rain waiting for chucking out time.

I'll make one for Cacapa. Would be funnier for Shola tbh.

£4m for O'Hara will be an incredibly wise signing by Roy Hodgson.
