"What's the alternative Jules? We're in a corner ?"
Yes, I know. And the phrase "Pc will have seen to it that there's provisions to look after his club even after he's gone" doesn't wash...... it can't and won't happen.
I'm astounded that we can't find a more stable type of option. The previous seven or so clubs this consortium have looked at have either been lucky in the move breaking down, or unlucky in that they've missed out on the best thing ever to happen to them.
I suspect it's the former. Time will tell.
We've no control, the sale is a "Distress sale " of an asset we care deeply about. The uncertainty and poor communication to the fans (by the consortium) about their intentions aren't helping.
God knows we have had enough upset in the club since Norm's passing with unfortunately more to come.
If it's going to happen then get it done, get it sorted, and quickly.
