It's a darn fine way to clean up dirty money if you ask me. Hypothetically, of course.

Implication there is that he's spoken to an administrator who is willing to take it on. AND that they can voluntarily go into admin (or he can somehow place them in admin). I guess we'll find out the facts soon.

Has Marc Jackson expressed an interest in them yet?

Talks ongoing, says Harry Harris. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=745769&sec=europe&cc=5901 Also says future to be decided in "next 48 hours". Oooooo

That's just padding.

Just heard their transfer embargo lifted (BBC sport website headline, no link yet). Bummer.

Shame. Having seem him play a few times, I think he's a really decent player. ah well. Pards Knows Best!

Don't SAY things like that.

"95th minute of injury time" said SSN...

here's what we SHOULD be doing: going after the best players currently in this division. It means (1) we have the best players in this division and (2) our rivals DON'T. It's a pretty standard model for buying your way out of a league... Hm, am I too cynical?

It's Mystic Meg, isn't it? I always knew she was a man.

Can you sign Rudi Skacel for us please?

JUST ONE QUICK THING LEFT TO DO..... Can some please phone the Blue Square Prem and tell them we will NOT be requiring a place this year as we've now been bought by a Swiss billionaire? I think it's important someone tells them

Good question. Liebherr is new owner, but I don't hear any reports of him as chairman (yet, at least). Who will run the show? Any hints from any ITKers?

Well, it's difficult to sail all the way from Switzerland as the boat doesn't go so quick over land. Maybe that's the delay.

Where are they getting the money to buy a nice pen? I guess Lallana will be sold to pay for it.

And if *they* don't complete by Thursday, they'll pull out leaving room for the Pinnacle/Jackson/Lowe consortium. Oh...

I think we should get 10 points taken off because that's the spirit of the law. On the other hand, whatever Pinnacle's failings it is surely still WRONG of the football league to insist on "no appeals if you want your licence". That bit still sticks in the throat, blackmail really isn't right. Nobody is coming out of this at all well.

The question is this: who is going to pick the team?!

That's a bit optimistic on Lallana, surely. And the rest of them, perhaps.

MLT coming up on BBC Solent, according to BBC Solent, during the drive show that just began. No idea if it'll be a live interview or just trotting out a recording, or indeed when exactly it will occur.

I have a feeling that at least one of the 'bids' probably has to involve robbing a bank to get the necessary funds, so perhaps it's a valid statement after all.

Just waking up here in the US... thought I'd click on the Echo's top story about Le Tiss becoming chairman.. DANG now what does THAT mean for us? FL have refused MLT as chairmain because he has an invalid name structure??

But zero isn't "anything" it's "nothing". We found that out when trying to count points gained and goals scored when Wigley, Arry and JP were in charge.
