| From what I can make out off GMR, the Yanks who had initially shown interest backed out, but then heard about the £30 million or so that we'll be getting from Sky and came back in. I don't think the decision next week will be final or anything. Because the interest was announced at the AGM it is law (apparently) that another 'revealing' takes place a set time afterward, so that everyone is in the know. Between then and now, the interested parties had backed out but come back in. Next week they will announce something, but I don't expect it to be significantly different from what we already know.

So do you know anything new or not? 
you know, you know, if a feller named Monroe never fathered bluegrass he would still be unrecognised as the grand wizard of speed metal

| It's starting to get out into the news this morning. According to the MEN there are four american parties interested or something along those lines.
It's also just been broadcast as breaking news on SSN that an american consortium are in preliminary talks with City with a view to taking over the club.
All we know is that we dont know --
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand wont let you understand
Why were all part of the masterplan |

From that statement :
"...it remains in preliminary discussions with third parties that may or may not
lead to an offer being made for the Company."
So basically, we already knew this from what they said at the AGM and the talks are ongoing.
There is a report on Sky Sports News, but nothing about Americans and it's not down as breaking news at the moment, just another story.
So let's stop getting too excited shall we. |

Well I hope they are better at running a club than they are doing research and running a business!
How did they not know about the TV money, that's been known by fans for over a year, never mind potential investors! |

Avoid, rather than check. Check, rather than hurt. Hurt, rather than maim. Maim, rather than kill. For all life is precious, nor can any be replaced. |
