The last snippet of info we've had was from the EFL basically saying the ball was in King and SISUs court. I suspect the ball is still there and long since stopped bouncing.

Is the implication here that SISU/King have not provided the required information to the EFL?

Certainly reads that way:

"Whilst we acknowledge your desire for information, it is EFL policy not to provide specific details regarding any applications under the Owners’ and Directors’ Test. A number of requirements must be met in the event of any potential application for a change of control. All we can advise is that the Club and any prospective purchasers are aware of the League’s requirements, and matters remain ongoing.

We can only suggest you may wish to contact the Club for an update should you wish

That reads incredibly blandly to me. We have a process, everybody knows the process, ask the club because we ain't telling you anything.

I just cant take anything other than "we're waiting for the club/purchaser to fulfil the requirements" from this sentence:

"All we can advise is that the Club and any prospective purchasers are aware of the League’s requirements"

Yup, and one thing is becoming obvious, SISU seem intent on offloading the club, so one way or another it will have to happen.

Indeed, the unthinkable seems set to happen, and I suppose that's a good thing as long as we avoid the total mentalist option!

Unfortunately the first signing is the Qatari goalkeeper.

That is true. But by a strange coincidence they still might be right. The ball may very much be in King’s and SISU’s hands. Personally I’ll believe it when it’s completed. If it never happens I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.

I'm pretty sure Dodger and Swindler were our central midfield pairing in the 1950/51 season.

Fascinating suggestion. One which I've just pondered. However I'm still thinking counter-balance.

View attachment 27563

So Mr Red's legs are the pivot point. Mr Blue can move forward or back, enabling Mr Red to directly hit the water rather than soiling the historic brick work.

I can so see this being an A level mechanics question.

Though of course the correct answer the easiest way to shit directly into the canal is:

c) get on a barge and sit over the edge.

Was there a stipulation to shit directly in to the canal? If not, then it would be far easier to lay a log in the comfort of your own home (or someone else's, for a laugh), transport it incognito, and roll it in off the towpath.

Agreed. Why would they go into detail to respond to a random fan request.

I reckon the easiest way would be to hold on to a tree bankside and squat out... if you were still worried about splashback could use rope for extra distance...

But that's the point. They did go into detail. Why mention that the club and purchaser are aware of the requirements at all?

It maybe nothing, but they could've just said. "Matters are on going. We can't discuss it any further"

Good acoustics are desired if not compulsory - v difficult to achieve the right tone and volume ('plop') if shit not produced in situ

Fraught with danger, I'm afraid. The chances of the branch breaking would lead to involuntary sphincter tightening and the bomb doors jammed shut.

Good point. From that height there would be quite a plop.
