Yeah I'm really nervous about this now. Got this bad feeling having to deal with the club and hotel separately is going to scupper us.

There are people out there, genuine people, who are worried about the lack of a new kit they can buy their sproglets. Are you listening to this Shazza?
Finger, out pull.
List of things to do:
New season kit.
Season tickets.
Stadium sponsorship.
Contract for half time pasties, etc.
Hotel Trivago ratings.
New Players. At least one.

Sorry, I missed that off. Mainly because I thought that was the obvious number one priority. Just goes to show not everybody thinks alike...

I think, to put not too fine a point on it, you're all going bonkers.
You've gone Demob Happy - the definition of which is -
broadly applied to the feeling of relief at imminent release from a time-serving burden.
But the burden hasn't been lifted.
FV haven't bought us. Their millions (which probably don't actually exist: it's other people's millions, apart from the millions they've hoodwinked into 'existence') are not, as we speak, buying us. Why not? Everything is well apparently, happiness abounds, futures are secured, plans are in place, administrators want to fxck off into the sunset pocketing their wedge.
So what, exactly, is the fxcking hold-up?

They've probably given the EFL the classic 'he's just coming down your street, guv' to buy time.
Sadly I don't believe in or trust this lot at all.

Every time they've been ready to sign, some bugger has pointed out they have circularities and holes in their finances, which they've had to go and investigate... If only it'd stop.

As a teenager my dad actually offered to lend me his demob suit one night as I was off to the Palais. I hastily refused because as it was chucking stair rods down, I already looked like Mickey Spillane in his trench mac and trilby....Dedicated follower of fashion me......lol:
