“Positive conversations are ongoing and, while a formal bid is yet to be received, I remain confident of passing on the baton to the next owner in the near future.”
This time, I hope when Big Al "passes on the baton" he doesn't inadvertently do it via social media.
We've got a proven manager, a midfield full of battlers and winners, we're playing 4th in the league away from home and 90% of us are predicting a win, and the chairman is issuing statements via the official channels.
This is too perfect! What is happening to our club?

That sounds a bit like a house I'm trying to sell.
