If there weren't fans happy (not just our club that's in the shit) that our stories were being kept in the public domain would there be any media interest? If there was no media interest would parliament have taken an interest in football governance and would there be a commons select committee that might actually just be capable of forcing some meaningful change if only through embarrassment of football governance to the benefit of football fans and badly run clubs.

But hey. Who would be happy about that.

Your source will ruin any deal, given Hoffman's desire for privacy to negotiate away from the glar of publicity.

I've already said there will be no more offers.
Sisu need to state what they want now.
But don't hold your breathe. On seconds thoughts

Even Tims preferred option is on the record of saying that they won't deal with SISU. Until some bridges are built it's hard to see what is happening with the club beyond the end of next season.

SISU either need to start building bridges in good faith or do one and let someone else do it who has the best interests of the club at the forefront.

Thing is Tony, the WASPs bloke came in the press last week saying he would like to talk.
The consortim trying to buy the club have said they want to talk.

What is Fisher and Sepella's angle? Why won't they talk?

They surely cannot go crying to the league saying we're going to be homeless if they won't talk to the people who's pitch they use, or won't talk to the people who could take the problem off their hands.

Edit. Just to add, thankfully this doesn't appear to be affecting MR or the players he's been able to sign. I assume he's had some assurances that things will ok, one way or the other.

Maybe they realise that they're in a weak position during negotiations so in their opinion it's better to bluff a game of hardball as usual.

The whole "he does nothing but good" for fans is shite.

An example of people who do nothing but good for fans I'd say are volunteers who give up their days for matchdays etc. Not a presenter who gives 5 minutes airtime every so often for his talkshow.

Uninformed airtime doesn't really help does it?

Ah yes but you can't give credit to the Sky blue trust who do the same

Takeover has been completed, they just haven't announced so it gives us time to sign the entire Portsmouth team.
