I really don't know what to make of this.

First, any talk of investment is sh!te. Until King complies with the takeover panel, there won't be a share issue.

In theory they could get a loan, but any savvy investor with enough money would do due diligence and run a mile until it's sorted out. They've had 6 years to find a rich fan to make an emotional investment - that hasn't happened.

And talk of directors resigning to make way for new investors is nonsense too - you can have as many directors as you like in a company. I suspect failure to comply with the TOP has made Murray and Bang-man run away before it affects them personally.

When sevco got the wonga loan from Close Brothers a few weeks ago, I thought "that would be enough to see them to the end of the season, then season ticket money should do them until at least Christmas".

Maybe the double-humping from celtic has had a catastrophic affect on season ticket sales? It hasn't actually cost anything yet to bring in Gerrard and promise him a warchest.

If gerrard does have a positive affect on season tickets, what next?
1. keep overspending and run out of money during the season?
2. buy one past-it big name like Barton or Alves (eg skrtel), then fill the rest of the squad with sh!te to live within their means? The People won't be happy with that
3. King ignores the TOP, somehow manages to pocket the season ticket money (like Craig Whyte did), and then buggers off before plod get to him?

Option 3 is looking more and more likely
