Why have I woken up with a very bad feeling about all of this??

Is it something I ate last night?

Never have a curry when your club is in the midst of a takeover.

Today's vital important news is .....

Bills got his suntan oil, a new pair of swimmers and it's all systems go go go!

Certainly not, in no way trying to defend anyone's position here, however, it does strike me that we're all being a little guilty of presuming here. For a start who said bungalow Bill is going on a holiday, and it does not actually say in that statement the Edwards deal will not be completed this week.

Should the Edwards consortium not complete before Bungalow Bill jets off, for what ever reasons that might actually be, then, and then only will there be a serious need for some real straight talking.

A message on Sky Sorts News which suggests the deal will be done by the end of the week..........................

I chatted to the guy who does those banners at the bottom of the screen a few weeks ago. I said there seems to be a huge lack of Conference news from Sky nowadays, which he confirmed. Interestingly the guy who does the overnight ones is a TUFC fan. Lets hope something good flashes up soon.

Chill out, as long as this situation is sorted this week do not see a problem, yes, people will have to work quickly to get things ready for the pre-season, and season to follow, but can be done in time.

Time to start panicking is if any deal isn't done, and things start to drag on the back of next week and beyond, or if the whole deal goes south, and that hasn't happened as far as I can see.

I am taking the fact that we are announcing friendlies today as a positive. May not be in anyway related but I don't care as I am tired of being depressed!

The first friendly is july 15th meaning we've got to make at least three signings in just over month to even have enough players for it! (not including the bench!!), but I suppose we would be worried more if they didn't announce friendlies too.

I suppose if they're 'friendlies', we could include 'veterans' in the line-up.....Hargreaves, Hodges, Edwards........is Veysey still with us ?

It'll be back to the bad old days when fifty plus trialists turn up!
