It's easy pickings for reporters with the amount of players we have got out of contract in a week or so as it stands
I'm calling bs on it... Ravel waited last year and (arguably) ended up having the most productive season of his career with us.
Here's hoping Clowes coming in to save the day can help us persuade a few more players to wait for a bit longer!

Are you seriously moaning about someone who is prepared to invest their own money and save our club? 
Do you think he might have been the one that put forward the best bid?
 
 

So, while Mike Ashley was swinging his bat around on the sidelines, David Clowes has padded up, gone out to the crease and smashed a six off the first ball. 

GF is going to be p****d off……she was looking forward to painting over this ??
 

Bye Mel, you complete XXXXXX

It says that in the Clowes statement 
 

Bloody hell rooneys had a good tan from holiday 

Rooney and Rosenior on the phone to Clowes as we speak.

It's finally happening isn't it?

Here endeth the reign of Mel.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Viva la revolucion.

Bang on.  
It seems likely that Appleby has quickly cobbled together a bunch of investors (given the reports about his original investors walking away), and with the reports yesterday from Chris Coles about the admins having doubts about certain aspects of his bid, it's not a crazy decision if Quantuma have decided his bid is too risky to proceed with at this stage (given time constraints etc).  Too much chance an investor pulls out at the last minute, or some of the money doesn't arrive etc.
And we don't even know for sure if Ashley has actually made a bid yet.  He's waved a couple of big numbers about under friendly media noses, but that's all we seem to know.
We seem fairly sure that Clowes has the cash, and he already has a deal sorted for the stadium.  He seems a safe bet to get an actual deal over the line with minimum fuss.

The two most common things in the universe are,  Hydrogen and Stupidity !!!!! 

Hs is a North Stand Season Ticket Holder. Not a Corporate Box, Not a Directors Box, Not a West Stand ticket holder - he sits in the North Stand despite his wealth.
That shows me everything I need to know about him. It's not about fame or limelight unlike others.

You probably can’t understand Q’s reasoning because you, like the rest of us, are not in possession of all the facts.
How do you know they didn’t consider (and the reject) MA’s offer? 
Did they overlook AA’s or did they just consider Clowes the best offer for the creditors? (It’s not a case that they don’t care about what is in the best interests of the fans, it is their legal obligation to get the best deal for creditors. If this conflicts with the fans interests then, sadly, creditors interests have to take precedence).

AA or MA may well, due to their experience, be the better bet for the long term future of the club but we simply don’t know. Q have to get the best return for creditors now (or over the next three years) and not speculate on which new owner would be the best for the club in the long term. 
 
Finally, surely they only risk legal action from AA or MA if they could prove their bids represented a better return for creditors which, seems unlikely if they accept Clowes. 

There's competition, but I have to say that's the oddest post so far from Oldben - a proper Ramblin' Sid Rumpole affair. Very strange...are you OK chief?
