    Gynn's equaliser against Leeds in the SF at Hillsborough. Had felt so sick up to that point as time was ticking away and I thought we had come so far only to fall at the final hurdle. The level of tension on the terrace and then the relief was something I've not experienced before or since...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    You would hope so. And you would hope that has been or will be communicated to Hoff. Otherwise it is just a guessing game and before too long Hoff will just give up again.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    To be honest I guess a lot of us would say "who cares?" Try and sell a shit load of season tickets but be upfront and say we will have to rely on loans and journey men or a season or two. I think all of us would take that scenario.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    You're probably right. I've not heard it, was just going by the list posted of what he said.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Yeah, know what you mean, but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter if we train there or not.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I know what Fernando means. It's a shame that for the next five years we will be giving half of everything we make to SISU. Be nice for them to accept a figure and walk away. Unfortunately, it seems that the consortium either don't have the kind of capital SISU would accept or are reluctant...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I guess, but I'm not sad particularly. I don't have any emotional attachment to Ryton like I did to Highfield Road so as I said as long as we have a training base and the sale can help wrestle control from SISU then I'm not too bothered.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Interesting that the new owners also wish to sell Ryton. Unless, of course, they have little choice as they can't raise more upfront capital. As long as we have a training base then really I'm not too bothered about Ryton.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Yes, it certainly does seem reasonable. They want cash upfront. I bet if he offered £3/4M will those add ons he would have a deal. Let's hope he has a little more leeway in what his upper ceiling is.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    They want lots of cash and they want it now. Not going to happen so I think unfortunately we are stuck with them.

    All very nice, I suppose, but not what we'd hoped a statement from them would say today.

    Open letter from the club to fans

    Yeah, why not sign it? Nothing is ever straightforward. Interesting this comes out on the day of takeover and "further negotiation" shenanigans.

    Not signed. New CEO? Is Fisher going to get the boot then?

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Not even signed. Does new CEO mean Fisher is finally going to get the boot?
