I imagine that Wael's comments about running a football club being much more difficult, I didn't spot that - when was he saying that kp?

Well Dave me the source of this info and it although it's exciting news you have to remember that it's just a deal in principle, until money has changed hands no announcement will be made, this is understandable and sensible. We as fans will know officially once the cheque has been received. The plans for the academy do look good also. Good time ahead I think

Last I heard was that everything ok other than UWE want guarantees in place to ensure the build once started will be completed. Apparently UWE wanted the Mem tied to the UWE as a guarantee of completion. Rovers refused, so the other way of doing it is by lodging a bond to guarantee it. Trouble is this is quite expensive. I assume this is the cause of what is hopefully the last holdup. Exactly what I was told yesterday. Though I was also told UWE want £1.7m per acre. Guess we all continue to just hope

It was in the paper and that's where I saw it but it was on the OS too. He said that he has had to learn a great deal as there is so much more than he thought in running a football club. It's refreshing to have a guy be honest I think and it at least gives us a little more to think on when we get impatient.

Good time ahead I think Surely if a deal was agreed in principle subject to the money being transferred, then that could be done within 24 hours seeing as the ALQ's are shareholders of a bank? As far as the training ground has anybody seen the plans?

Hey the way things are going at the moment we have no defence Sweeney's gone Lumley won't be far behind and we have no strikers that can score a goal seems to me a new ground is the least of our worries !

I've given up on rumours and 'good sources'. The new owners seem to have plugged the leak of information, and rightly so. Completely reasonable approach for you to take of course. I work at UWE and saw Wael and Hamer driving on to campus for a meeting the Friday before last. It matches up with some of the other rumours going round, so I'm quietly hopeful, but we'll have to see!

Fair enough, but what you've done is report accurately what you saw, other people can't seem to stop at that, they have to add a bit, I've never really understood why?

Plus without giving any hint what there source might have been, I don't expect names to be given but as it stands it could be 100% true or just completely made up. If it came from our side was it from SH or Wael, as if it was the former then he seems to tell fans what they want to hear not the actual facts.

How do you know the difference between 'what they want to hear' and 'not the actual facts' you must know otherwise it all could be facts!

What I've learned is that people who have heard from 'Dave' who heard from someone who can't be named, have no idea what's happening, and rightly so. But of course, as soon as an announcement is made they'll ignore all the things that are different and will want to pretend that they knew all along

So that's another month and a half, and not a hint of a whisper of a squeak of any news which in itself is unusual
