    Think we got within 4 points of safety at one point but fell away

    Preferred seller pulls out as valuation now significantly lower than what was agreed.

    Suggestions other bidders are around but the guarantee to pay 25p in the pound on debt may be a sticking point.

    They don't agree that then a 15 points deduction likely next season.

    If they make it, they appear to be in a similar position now to the one we were in. The preferred bidders were paying ?1 million a month to keep the club afloat.

    Im sure fans will feel as we did with kirchener, that the past few months have been wasted time.

    As we know once clubs and fans, for whatever reasons, find themselves in this situation then you're in shark infested waters prey to every predator around. We were lucky ultimately that before being devoured Mr Clowes came with his harpoon gun. I hope the Owls aren't devoured!

    I haven't seen what the level of debt is or the asking price but, if I had 50M lying around, I'd still be of the opinion that I'd be a twit to woo them.

    Rumour floating around that, when The Princess Royal was being intriduced to the Scotland rugby team at the weekend, she commented to one of the players that "her brother used to play with the under 15s"...

    Spot on, mac…and as you say, further proof - should it be needed - of how fortunate we were to have Mr. Clowes come to our rescue.

    Are Leicester seriously in danger of joining them? Since the points deduction they have been awful. Bad loss today.

    Looking very much like they could drop now.

    Need a huge turnaround to avoid it IMO.
