Just spoke to friend at AIG.  He says it's all a funny mixup.  At their latest board meeting they were discussing all the stimulus money they had received.  They tried to return it to the US government but due to a financial/computer goof the government can't take it back because they have no record of the money going out.  While discussing what to do with the extra money (about $ 6 billion) some one had the bright idea to "buy a football team".  They were talking about an american football team (as a joke) but one of the guys (Brit Bertram Womble-Gasser) didn't catch the joke part and set up a trip to Newcastle to table a deal.  It wasn't until he was on the jet to England that the board realized he wasn't joking about the deal and had to issue a recall order to him and squash any deal.

If it wasn't quite obvious already it's not gonna happen before the transfer dealine but thank god we're able to make a few short term loan deals after the deadline! Something positive about the Championship level. I though we had a decent defensive line but looking at today's starting one I'm really starting to have some second thoughts as Simpson surely haven't played at CB before joining us.

That's about as realistic as what's actually going on at the club, tbh.

so no owners in time for the deadline  :tickedoff: marvellous

 

Just forget about it man. It was too late about two months ago.

 

Let's just hope there are one or two new faces tomorrow or in the coming weeks (loans) and we continue on the current form. Fuck Mike Ashley, enjoy the football.

true. at the end of the day we're looking good on the pitch - a couple of freebies/loans for squad depth will be fine til january. if we've dropped down the league by then, just spend a bit of money and make a late play-off push.

 

but having a new owner now would make it even easier......i guess thats not our style.
