Anyone else wondering why all these possible funders for Falmer are suddenly making themselves known.
First we had the club give a nudge nudge wink wink that a big backer would be "a former player", then we have Steve Coppell publicly state that Albion will be a bigger club than Reading with a new stadium, then we have everyone's name from Gary Stephens to Chris Cattlin, Marradona and Ossie Ardiles mentioned as possible backers.
Is this due to someone in the know being given the nod that the Falmer decision is a YES (cos even Marradona and Ossie wouldn't be daft enough to put their heads above the parapet if NO was likely)
OR
Is this clever spin generated by Dick Knight and Martin Perry to up the ante on Prescott before the announcement? Because until now they have been remarkably quiet about their big bucks backers (which is the only reason they have devoted so much time and cash into the battle for Falmer)
