Salz won't get the club IMO

So it's about the possibility of extra points deductions then.

Problem is time is not on our side! We need to get this sorted next week at the latest

I don't though. FWIW that is who I would put my money on if I was betting.

I'm bored now. They really should just accept the ten points and be done with it.

Cheers everyone. I'll try your advice Baj as soon as I get a minute to myself.

I do. I actually think it is broken. The wireless was not working for a few hours at a time. I really need an engineer or something to have a look around

Cheers. That's sort of what I was thinking. I've had problems for ages, I can't believe how badly set up it all is. I apparently had a download speed of 512kbps yesterday but when I signed up last week was told I would get 2mbps.

Nick why are you so down on them all the time? I know it's frustrating but I have seen nothing yet to get me concerned to the extent that you are, unless you know something I don't?

Just joined BT and the speed is awful, truly terrible so that I can hardly browse the internet at all. I have spent ages on the phone and basically the bloke said to me that because I am so far from the exchange, I'm not going to get a much better speed. My question is which ISP should I go to to ensure that I have a half decent speed? I don't need anything amazing, just good, fast, decent and reliable internet. My postcode is SO15 5BZ.

Nickh, could you confirm this thing about the pay?

I asked if he could put a rough time oo when this would be completed. Doesn't look like today folks!

I'm sure Tony won't mind me posting this: Good morning I would love to have a crystal ball and answer your question, but as I hope has become clear, I am very straight with people, so I don't know the answer. The reality is, if everything is put in front of me and is actually right (legally and morally), I will sign the deal right away. I will not be bullied nor pursuaded into something which is anything less that perfect - and that should to you, and your fellow fans, show a statement of intent for the future. Under our ownership, the Club will come first - and so it should do. Thanks for your message, sorry if I am unable to answer the question further, but I will be happy to answer any further questions once this is all out of the way. Best wishes Tony

Well they are taking over the running of the club are they not? It's a takeover in all but name

The only man I want other than keegan is strachan. Anything else will be a disappointment now

I reckon it's Shearer with Kev in an ambassador type role

Then why talk about lack of unity? If everyone is backing it then the fans will be united!

Glad we can debate this politely

I agree. We really shouldn't be transfixed with who is in the boardroom. My hope for the season is that we forget that Leon and others are even there, except the occasional rallying call from that man MLT of course!

Bottom line- I trust that Matt believes he is doing the best for the club. If Matt believes this includes inviting Leon on the board because of his generous donation/loan then I back it. I don't love Crouch but I'm willing to forgive and forget. He is a successful businessman and I'm sure in some capacities he can be a valuable asset (just not in public ).

If we get Keegan in and start winning you watch us unite pretty damn quickly! Anyone who says they refuse to fully support the new regime if Leon or LM are involved are complete ****s in my book and would not be missed at SMS.

Crouch will be one voice on the board. He won't be in control, that will be the bloke with the money. I am struggling to see how he could mess things up for the new regime. He has paid his money to keep the club alive and I imagine he was offered this as some sort of reward. Whatever the reason, I'm really not going to worry because Leon has a place on the board. It's just not of particular importance to me. If he was chairman then that's a different story but he won't be because things will be led by MLT and TL (who I have been impressed with so far.)

Don't be a **** Nick. Lets see what happens.

Oh get over it. It's not exactly the worst thing in the world. The primary reason for Crouch's failure was our lack of money and I highly doubt that Leon will have a huge say in things. Lets not let something like this ruin the whole thing, it isn't worth it. (I'm sure 19C will be on later to act like the world is falling in.)

I'm still slightly nervous by your replies farmer. In your opinion are we still on course for the takeover friday?
