If a consortium is involved, surely FFP outcome has to be positive. If it's just Shteeve then as we were with a bit more tactical nous.

Either way, its a win-win.

would be interested in hearing what is his preferred formation.

Please don't say 352

I said a couple of years back that we shouldn't be surprised to see Chinese owners.They're buying up everything in sight,mostly with their holdings of USA bonds and stockpiles of Dollats as they think it's all going t*ts up soon.

Interesting, Mush. But why sack a manager when you’re selling? Clearing the decks for the new owners?

Maybe one of the conditions of sale. Get their own team into the club - especially if McClaren is part of it.

I just think Holloway would have his peaky blinder cap all over the press with this if he isn't bound by a confidentiality agreement. Would also bet he's been paid off and is on his hols.

I suppose that as the SM seems to be heading up the consortium, it could have been a case of sack IH or we're going to walk away. There is no way IH could have been kept in place given what SM's day job is.

Would be good to get new manager in. Put minds at rest and means they can get cracking. With some clever recruitment no reason why we can't have a reasonable season next year.

Brace yourselves chaps and chapesses

Just seen on SSN McLaren is going to be appointed in the next 24 hours.

Definitely read a few months ago that SM was heading up a consortium looking to buy into a club but we weren't mentioned, so i think this has got legs but it is strange media haven't picked up on it yet, we are clearly no longer the media darlings we once were, which is probably for the best. Expect we will find out over the next couple of days exactly what has been going on......exciting times though.

Yes, I was amazed to hear virtually nothing about Ollies departure driving home that evening and to work the next day whilst listening to talk sport. Instead it was all about whether Big Sam or Moyes were going to be sacked!

Odd that there were no rumours at all about a takeover/investment. Would have thought that would have come up before now?

was hoping the the hold up was due to Supreme Court decision on Warren Farm appeal and announce both at same time

Definitely smacks of someone buying QPR, simply for the fact that Holloway has not spoken a word about his "sacking" (confidentiality agreement).

Same situation as that other well run club Sunderland (IMO).
