Problem is, at this rate, there are people clinging to the prop shafts of lorries in the Chunnel and areoplane landing gear arriving faster than we are eliminating possibilities. Then add a few extra on for people on this forum with multiple indentities. Come on Jon, give us a clue........ They have an irish american accent Blimey it's the NYPD. That should be handy for the Cat A games!

Isn't that the opposite of what he's been saying up until now? What's a chap to make of that?

It was probably NH who started the leak as it's taken all the flak out of CS joining the BoD. As surely by know we'd now more if a consortium was in talks with NH, if they came out now and said they were willing to build the UWE then how could NH fight their plans?

Puts things into perspective doesn't it? The buyer rarely stumps up all the cash on day one. Initial investment will be just enough to take control then the rest is pledged in stages. There are definitely some chancers around, remember the Man U guy who came onto the pitch at Old Trafford and kicked a ball around to rapturous applause and a hero's welcome? He didn't have a pot to piss in but he talked a great game. I'm afraid that, if there is a consortium, these ex Swindon clowns are probably the people behind it. I'm sure they are promising great things but Higgs is right to be sceptical. What a shame I was actually getting quite excited. I suppose the big question which needs to be now answered by those ITK is whether this is last summer failed consortium attempt, which was apparently B'ham, or a completely new one not involving the likes of Jed McCrory? As far as I know the stuff that was attempted last Summer was by those already involved in the club. As I understand it, Colin Williams tried to broker something that left Nick Higgs free to fight the court case but also did not undermine him in any way. I am not quite sure or clear on the names right now but I believe Mike Turl and Chris Jelf were supposed to look after the playing side of things. I would have to look over my notes, to be clear on it but I do know that Colin was exasperated come the end and even switched his phone off as he was just going in ever decreasing circles. It wasn't a takeover per se but an attempt to separate the team and football side of things, so that the court case did not become the focal point that is has. Please feel free to correct me as this is just off of the top of my head. There was an awful lot of speculation and then Nick Higgs did actually that he had been approached about this, when the Q&A happened but that he felt that the people involved did not have enough to do what they said they could. I am still waiting for these regular Q&A sessions bye

"and spends all his money on ladies of the night and cider " You say that like it's a bad thing. You beat me to it lol. Nowt wrong with cider & ladies of the night, or day for that matter. My time in Germany would have been quite desperate if not for the latter. I couldn't find any cider during my 2.5 years there but the Weissbeir, with a slice of Lemon, was a fair substitute hashtag ladies of the night

There is no plan B, no plan A for that matter; we just sit back and wait to hear the latest bout of meaningless drivel which comes out of Higgs mouth, and so it goes on, its just like ******** ground hog day.UTG

The standard reply " not in the best interests of the club" . If you remember the same thing was said by GD when he said the club was for sale but no one was interested. I have always believed that both are cut from the same cloth and both very much enjoyed the perceived power trip of being the majority owner. I don't understand much of the ways in which our shareholders and SC are or aren't involved in any offer,or offers, are put to the club ? I would have thought that they would have to be informed, at the very least ? Or is it a case of the majority shareholder being in a position where he is allowed to not involve them ? Serious question as I really have no idea. I do know that NH was visibly shaken when the news got out about the now Oxford Utd chairmanship offer. Thee was a confidentiality clause in the discussions and that was the only time I saw him slip up and basically admit that the offer was made. For what it's worth, I am very sure that this consortium does exist but I am also very sure that NH would never involve any of us fans in the talks, it really is a case of its his toy and we can't play with it. Anyway, I wish I had gone to Morecambe as a fair few flew up last night. Hoping for another 3 points today. #UTG

Just in case you missed out on the previous posts.

I thought Plan B was the Higgs master plan which the ITK's were keen to stop by promoting the mystery consortium who have a Plan C?
