Robins comment about “unveiled not approved” sounded to me that we’ve had the nod from EFL and it’s down to the club now. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it announced Monday or Tuesday.

I didn't read anything into it at all tbh. I just thought MR couldn't think of the right word to use and just came up with unveiled.

Hmmm. He’s been using the word approved for weeks without correcting himself and yesterday he did.

Why bother turning up to games if he isn't trying to buy the club? Not worth the agro.

The guy who was the preferred bidder for Derby turned up every week until it was time to hand over the money, I’m not saying for one minute King doesn’t have the cash but it does happen.

Dale Evans was going to house viewings on property that was worth millions of pounds to keep up appearances. It is amazing the lengths some people will go.

As you say though, not suggesting that is King.

Is there any reason to think King will bring any real change?

We are way past that... if he keeps the lights on and doesn't call a fire sale we are better off. Anything else is gravy.

Wouldn't we just end up with piss everywhere then? We'd have to then pressure wash the piss away with something that wasn't piss, where would it end? I'm going to defer to sign-taking-down experts but I don't think a pressure washer is a good idea.
