Dont shoot the messenger you lot, as I know what you are like!

Just been rang and told 15th July there will be an announcement to say we have been sold, apparantly we have been sold to an Abu Dhabi group, cannot be specific sorry.

Source: Friend of friend who works at club, tenuous I know but thought Id tell you all.
 
Cheers Peatcheo, it sounds similar to other rumours that have done the rounds.

It would certainly explain the delay in announcing a new manager.

Delay?

By taking less than a year we're rushing it through.

Hodgson's staying at Sir Thomas hotel.

Dempsey has been seen at John Lennon airport.
 
To add to the rumour thing, this was mentioned the other day. A kid who was a mascot at Spain's last game and was led out by Torres apparently asked El Nino if he was moving to another club (specifically he asked about Man City). Torres is supposed to have said he would never go to City or any other Premiership club and had no intentions of leaving because "his heart is with Liverpool".

Salt, pinch and all that, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Every bit of me wants to believe that's true.
 
Whether it is or not, I never believed Torres would leave this summer anyway, whatever the media frenzy might have tried to claim.

I just hope he'll give the same answer if somebody asks him NEXT summer.

why would, and why should they care about the world cup though?
[/quote]

Supposedly a deal struck with the new manager for the owners - who happens to be working at the world cup. That's what the other similar rumour suggested.

I presume should his team get knocked out, the announcement can move forward if everything is in order.

The Notts County deal was a fiasco BUT they actually won the league during all the mayhem, just the type of fiasco we need.
 
Ties in with the other rumor, which gave a time frame which off the top of my head would have put an announcement around then. I'm gonna go with the whole no smoke without fire mind set on this one
 
[quote author=spider-neil link=topic=40777.msg1127879#msg1127879 date=1277753050]
the club is about to be sold and the manager the new owners want in place is roy hodgson...


yes...
[/quote]

Admittedly, something doesn't quite ring true about that, unless our new owner is Mo Fayed.
 
This rumour has been circulating for so long, I would have thought some journalist would have followed it up by now if there was anything in it.

Surely they can't all be at the World Cup?

Thursday now apparently.

Makes sense, the England players are back Tue PM/Wed, so they can say he's met Stevie & Carra & they are fully behind him.
