Mubarak could be gone 'within hours'

[Nottseagull]

But will this just leave a power vacuum that the Egyptian army can use to re-establish a military dictatorship?

I don't think it will be the Army assuming control, hopefully just keeping the peace. Who takes over, and whether it will be for the best for the Egyptians, the region and the wider world is anybodys guess.

Is he a free agent, who are favourites to sign him, what the stuff has this to do with football? Who cares?

If, after 157 posts, it still hasn't dawned on you that The Big Board is for both football and non-football topics, then you are indeed quite dim.

It's all gone downhill since Rameses II...

He'll be working out his "golden farewell" , could be leaving with the same payoff as Tunisia's ex-president which was in the region of $2Tn in gold bullion now safely transported to Saudi Arabia for his retirement.

It's probably a little high-brow for you (and the others who haven't taken the thread seriously). Maybe you should stick to threads such as I may be being controversial but......

Strange attitude to take.

Yes, but looking at his location I'd say that tells you everything you need to know about his state of mind when he wrote it. And he's probably forgotten what he wrote by now.

There are/are going to be ramifications across the Middle East. Egypt is clearly a volatile country and the West are going to want a secure leadership - particularly as a political vacuum is not going to help matters when it comes to extremism and violence.

I read that Mubarak might 'escape' with $2bn.

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Crowd's not best pleased. Shoes in the air and all sorts.

 

[CHAPPERS]

It's gonna be pretty hairy around Tahrir Square in the next few hours.
