A theory that occoured to me today- Sainsburys have not pulled out, nor are they umming and arring. They have tabled a very firm offer, which is considerably less that the original one, on the grounds that it was based on them opening a store by a particular time which is now not going to happen even in a best case scenario. This might explain why the BoD are having long meetings all the time, having been given a deadline to agree to the new offer or Sainsburys will walk. Imagine all our esteemed Directors, each with their own ideas about whether a reduced offer is worth taking, and what to do if the deal falls through, or indeed what to do with the new smaller sum if it is agreed. .......... or they want to delay the purchase for 12 months and see how the economy develops... Aye, there are a number of possibilities to this scenario without doubt. Either of those could be the reality. One thing is certain I'm sure, something is definitely not right otherwise they would simply come out and tell us as they're getting flack from all corners right now not just the fans.

Taking a positive (ish) view. He could have been talking about Charlotte Leslie/David Cameron. Or (more positively) Sainsbury's. Can't help but read it negatively though. (Agree with the request above re the return of the sinking ship smiley. In fact I'd swap all the ones on this forum for all the ones on the old forum. I really struggle with the new tiny images and working out what they mean. Any chance of going back to what we know and love?) Edit: Clearly I was on the right track with my opening line. Just read the following re-tweet on GD's twitter page THINK POSITIVE all day today & see how much better you feel tonight. Drive out negative thoughts as they appear. THINK POSITIVE all day.
Well done Oxon. Could we please have the rolling eyes one too - for some reason I seemed to use that more than any other (it would be perfect right here in fact) ...

If Sainsbury's scale back their offer then BRFC will need to scale back the size of the stadium. Simples. We dont actually need such a big stadium at present althou it would be nice. Is it that simple? Wouldn't UWE need to agree to it? The original plan was trebles all round for the BoD. The would have got a new stadium bought for them by someone else, with them owning all the concessions AND getting cashback from their loans. Accepting a lower offer would mean deciding to either sell off the concessions to the poinbt where Rovers would just be tenants, or not getting the cashback which I suspect is what they have been basing their long term financial planning on. Just thinking out loud, but a reduced offer would explain to me a lot about the way they, and Sainsburys are behaving.

Yes I suspect that the UWE would have to agree but the options they would have would be the same as BRFC's, take it or leave it!!!!
