Never gonna happen Torch. Incompetent owners won't have any pens in the office so he won't be able to sign on the dotted line. He'll then go and manage someone like Barnsley to European glory within 5 years and we'll be left still trying to sign Eric Black whilst missing out on Joe Cole on loan.

And it's not Thursday.

Ah yes, forgot that he won't sign because SISU will mess it up. Ah well. I've always felt let down since they let Pressley go to Huddersfield.

It's a big positive for the club and hopefully the deal he has struck will enable him to completely rebuild now !!

I'm hoping this one stumbling block was that Mowbray wouldn't sign until Wasps fooked off and they have indeed now fooked off.

I'm sure the Telegraph have been saying this for the past week. No official update from Waggott either. Not going to believe it until it has been signed and sealed!

Good news! Hoping he's secured some investment in the squad.

Now that Otis, would be AMAZING. I think I'd sack work off for the rest of the day, head home and crack open some champers.

Could you imagine?!

What a WUM of a post designed to annoy anyone who-quite legitimately-has an axe to grind with SISU. Sad.

Not too sure why it would annoy anybody or why anybody would be annoyed if Mowbray signs and gets investment how he wants it.

Simply a tongue-in-cheek reply to SWM. Nothing more.

We've all got axes to grind with SISU. We just blame them for the things they have cocked up on, not everything else on the planet that you'd think some on here held them responsible for....

Where did I say that I would be? A classic "Playing Dumb" post from you, as is your style: you know full well what he meant, an "oh no, SISU can't have done something good, they're all evil, aren't they?" piss-take.

Must be playing dumb, I can't see why it would piss people off? Unless people would be annoyed that they wouldn't have something to moan about?

Rather see it on the official and then some wheels put in motion before going round saying well done sisu.

I'm annoyed at the implication that simply by them doing something adequate, it's now OK to rip the piss out of people who criticise them for their many, many, many, many failings.

Hopefully, the start of something brighter and better for CCFC. Can't wait to see what he does with our ramshackle squad.

Why does every thread on here descend into the same argument. Do people not get a little bit bored with it?

I'm sure it's only a matter of time. I know people have been frustrated but I would have thought if it wasn't going to happen then he's not going to take two weeks to just say "no". He is probably - quite rightly - getting his lawyers or whoever to go over every single detail. Could be the single most important appointment in decades.

Agree. My fault entirely though so apologies to all, it was just a tongue-in-cheek reply, didn't think it would lead to anything. Last word from me.

What gives me some hope is that he has demands and won't just accept any old craps like Pressley. A scouting network for example... Surely a basic requirement for any football club.

It is more like ripping the piss out of the people saying it won't happen for various reasons. It isn't saying "Oh you said Sixfields was bad, ha ha we have TM"

In Pressley's defence...

Given he turned up just as we were hurtling towards admin, and were about to leave the city. Given he stayed when the easier choice would have been to jump after doing well in the Sixfields season...

One can only assume he was promised *something*!
