Frying pan or Fire anyone?  My thoughts are we are going with the Frying Pan option for another season.

So what do we think this supposed statement is going to be? Personally I think he has sold up.

Suggestion on another board that any announcement expected today would be early in the morning (2a.m) tomorrow as It is a national holiday today in Hong Kong.

Happy Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day everyone!!

I definitely agree. The fact that things have been so quiet suggest to me that a deal has been close - and a sneeze might blow the pen off the table. If so, this transfer window could be a right roller coaster!!

I think that if he hadn't sold he would have announced it today as the players are back and everyone's in a (relatively) good mood on the back of the stripes returning and looking decent to boot.  Something along the lines of: "I said that if the sale hadn't gone through by preseason training then we would continue as before and it hasn't so we do"

As there has been no such statement I'd assume the deal is (at the very least close to) going through.

It's like waiting for the John Carew sigining.  ;D

I honestly don't think a sale will happen (this summer anyway).

I have mixed feelings about a sale as there have been too many examples of new owners coming in and trying to put their stamp on the club and failing.

Better the devil you know I think in this instance.

Done deal by all accounts looking at facebook and other WBA forums. We'll see. I'll be happy if JP is still here in 10 years time though.

Facebook is exactly renowned for its reliability but who is posting this information?

And supposedly, who is the new buyer?

I think its clear a deal is close, otherwise Peace would have come out at the start of June like he said he would to state that he was to stay on, that he hasn't suggests that negotiations have taken place and a deal is close to be struck.  A deal of this magnitude takes weeks if not months to seal, I'd be hedging my bets on an imminent deal.

From mutterings on this forum and others I'd say an Australian party showed initial interest and now a Chinese consortium are close, that's pure conjecture but just by the way this has been playing out I'd say its on.

I personally feel a deal is in place for a takeover, if it wasn't on I think we would have found out by now! As much as I hate hearing silence I think this 'silence' is for good reason!
Here's hoping it all goes well whatever the outcome!

Surely if those rumours were true about a statement being released by the club it will be tomorrow now as opposed to today.

Would the takeover hinder the pursuit of Matt Phillips and Asutin ?

The new owner may need time to discuss the transfer plan and the budget with Pulis.

Would of thought that conversations would of already took place with potential new investors regarding transfer plans and how much money needs to be involved in those plans.

Well not a lot of money if the signings we have made up to yet are anything to go by.

So you Dont think Matt Phillips or Charlie Austin will require considerably large fees to get them from QPR.

How would everyone react if they wanted to change the name of the club & home shirt like Cardiff ?

Bit of an obvious question bearing in mind the meltdown over the thickness of the stripes last season.

Peace has already stated on a few occasions that he will only sell to the right party who will do right by the club. I would say that changing the clubs name and kit would fit under that.

I'm sure the previous owners at Blues & Cardiff was all promised things.

Even though it's only the 1st of July today it feels like this has dragged on for a good while even if it's only been 3 weeks or so, maybe that's because there's been so many rumours flying around it gets tiring and slightly boring after a while.

Would expect a decision before the start of next week either way it needs to be settled and we need to start building on mcclean in the new signings department.

Short summer for domestic football even though you can make signings throughout August ideally our business is done during this month not vital but would be nice.
