I think it's clear to see no one has a scooby doo about what's going on and how close anything is at all.

I agree. Lots of talk from both sides, some say it's off, some say it's early next week. I choose to think no one really has much of an idea and it's pure speculation.

There's a rumour that, there's a rumour.  :-\
I do wish people would stop spreading rumours about rumours only being rumours.

It would be nice to have something to be optimistic about, but we have had no news at all, since May. No transfers to talk about, no takeover, nothing. It comes to something when all we have to discuss is women with hairy armpits. No agenda with Peace, i just see him without rose tinted specs.

As they say no news is good news.

From my record of transfer rumours we have been linked with over 20 players so far all in positions we need to strengthen , they may or might not happen, The positive is we are looking at Strikers, left backs, defensive and attacking midfielders, what's not to like

I have heard from a reliable source with genuine links to the club that a press conference is to be called on Wednesday afternoon to introduce the new Chinese owners.

i do hope so, we need a fresh approach and new invesment to push on a little. Peace has done well and should be applauded when he steps down even with 150 million in his back pocket for pretty much non return

Come, come, don't be shy to admit your prejudice.

Anyway, it seems transfer deadlock is over with Stoke and West Ham incomings and Peace is still here ;D

I think you will find he is based on  future sales income for Berahino. Both Phillips and Sahko purchases have not yet touched our "war chest" - meagre as it is.

With T/O deals you never know how whats going to happen untill the ink is dry and the sale is sealed and delivered

If this Sakho deal is correct, let's assume he signs on a 4 year deal at £60k per week, that's £12million in wages plus an alleged transfer fee of £16 million = £28 million of which £19 million will have to be found this year. That's about 1/3 of the TV money gone.

Didn't we make a £7m profit last year? We should have plenty to spend this summer no excuses.

If new owners are announced shortly what do you think are the chances of TP staying on? There's history of other club takeovers bringing in a new manager whether almost immediately or not longer after.

Getting rid of Pulis would be a disaster at this stage, we have an extremely limited squad that can probably only really stay up by being greater than the sum of its parts and playing a very specific style.

We're in big trouble when Pulis leaves without significant improvements to this squad.

I imagine he will stay for the start of the season at least. He will be happy enough whatever happens. He will just carry on until he gets paid off to leave early or gets through the last year of his deal.

For the sake of clarity the new ownership will have no say in the running of the club until they are the new owners. It is that simple until a contract is signed and they have been approved by the FA they aren't running the club. The only grey area is at the point they are seeking FA approval but we aren't there yet.

Well in Chinese Tradition the Number 8 (August) is associated to "Wealth" (or Prosper)

and Number 3 (i.e. Wednesday's date) is associated to "Birth"

as both are considered very lucky numbers, it seems like a good day to announce the start of a New Ownership :)

If I'd bought into a business which I didn't fully understand, I'd leave everything in place until I did.

It looks as though Wolves new owner has let his ego get in the way, can only end in tears that for me.

The issue with the wolves takeover is at the moment they look like they don't have a clue what they are doing. Jackett was in and then out.

I'd prefer our lot to not do a thing until they have got a proper plan in place and have met everyone at the club.
