was it same interview from weekend or new one?

[Smirking_Saint]

I think it will go through, Pinnacle will fight the -10 points as long as they can but i doubt if they lose they will walk, Pinnacle will be our eventual buyers, i just hope it is sooner rather than later.

Not sure, didnt see the weekend one, but they are on now and talking about Keegan again.

 

Matt on record saying that Keegan is not the only person he has sat down with but admitted he has held talks with Keegan ( in relation to being asked if Keegan will be manager ) .

[RedAndWhite91]

Yeah it has just been shown again, Matt is still very confident that the deal will go through and is "very excited" at the prospect of helping his club and becoming chairman, the "first full time job in his life" haha.

In my opinion the most compelling piece of reporting was in the Guardian last Friday, and is probably as close to the mark as anything else. It points to the issue being the creditors and not the FL, which makes sense to me at least. i don't recall anyone mentioning this one until yesterday when I posted it on other threads.
