There was a press conference today at 11am, for Reading. The press conference was advertised as early as yesterday afternoon on SSN. I'm now going to watch SSN for the remainder of the afternoon whilst pressing F5. Oh wait, it's television.

How about a "2009 takeover sweepstake" thread?

Does this all mean that Jordan will now get c**t cancer and die?

Yeah, but nothing we don't already know i.e. preferred bidder will apparently be in place by Friday. But then Friday will become Saturday, which becomes Monday and we start all over again.

Wouldn't surprise me if it all dragged on until the last minute.

Today's hard copy Echo says MJ has offered £8m rising to £15m, with £500k ready now to pay this months wages. They also say MJ's bid is the favourite.

A couple of days ago one of the texts received mentioned Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment. I done a search on the forum and found they were spoken about on 8th May, anyways, this was found: The Globe and Mail May 13, 2009 Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. has been centred out as the worst owner in the NHL, according to a feature on SI.com, the website of Sports Illustrated magazine. In a story that identified the five best and five worst owners in each of the four major team sports, the site wrote: "How can the $1.75-billion owners of the most valuable franchise in hockey [the Toronto Maple Leafs] continue to so mismanage one of the NHL's most storied teams?"...................... (Somewhere in here http://www.theglobeandmail.com/)

That's pretty nifty.

So we can post bewbs?

Not nice, RIP

Not internet, SMS world.

That was boring.

Look at the date, then read the first line of the report

Guess we're fish brothers then

Which side of March? Fish or Ram?

Good news, i'm pretty sure 200% it's the day the new Green Day album comes out, yeeeeeeeeey

Don't apologise, I know it's only down to the lack of bewbs. Just re-read what I wrote, maybe it was a bit sarcy, my bad. Nothing mentioned on 606 about PC, don't think that's a good sign. Anyone watching SSN, anything on the ticker?

I wasn't being sarcastic. Anyone listen to Radio Solent at lunch? anything said?

No, just that there was one due last Thurs/Fri, but was cancelled due to interest at the 11th hour. Only thing they'll probably find out is that the Conference room has been booked, but then I think it's been booked out for the past 2 weeks.

Why do people always ask this question, i'm not about to turn around and say "My mate who's the manager of the MLT Suite" am I. Just a text/rumour from my mate that i'm sharing, as you can see by my second comment I doubt very much there will be one.

NickG, are you able to answer my question today? Cheers

Apparently one at 2:30pm today. So i'm guessing we won't hear anything again today.

St Mary's will host World Cup games in 2015 for Rugby Union, as long as England win the bid to host the tournament.

Today's Echo "In a further twist, the Daily Echo understands a third party, with funding from overseas, contacted Pinnacle with a view to combine efforts................ ....................The group is also thought to have been in touch with Marc Jackson..........."

Today's Echo has Lawrie Mac saying the game HAS been scrapped.
