That remains my understanding, although exactly when the Club will do the press release is now unclear.

I get the impression that Lord Tony of Bloominster remains very positive and focused on achieving the big step up this season, and that strengthening from a position of strength is still very much the message which we should expect to see transformed from words into actions.

I fully expect to cop some grief (and that's fine) for the JC one not coming through as expected, but you'll just have to trust me, I honestly don't post sh1te for sh1te's sake.

Thanks for the updates! Looks like we had as good a chance as any team that was in for him. The fact Inter seem to have pulled out indicates it's too complicated a deal for any European club.

Thanks for the updates, much appreciated.

So with this press release are you saying a deal has been done for a striker?

I am concerned for [MENTION=21466]Blue[/MENTION]Valkyrie - anyone want to pop round and take his shoelaces off him

Not to worry, I'm concentrating on the ZERO chance of a SINGING thread

In my FM16 save he just signed for Galatasaray in January of 2016. If there were ever a league and country to deal with shady agents and owners.

And the quote above yours shows EXACTLY who [MENTION=24838]Bladders[/MENTION]' conductor (source) is!

I'm moving from excited to the normal concern about missing out .....

100 pages and we still haven't signed Michael Owen.

The timely rumours of the bid for Austin suggest we have no one lined up - hope that isn't the case.

I think we can close this record breaking thread now. JC will not be joining BHAFC.

We tried very hard, and for a long period the confidence was very high, but the ownership complexity and the antics of the agent were apparently the impenetrable barriers, and all the positive groundwork achieved in November has come to nothing.

Apologies, my post #1111 was made with the best of intentions, but as is the case with complex deals they sometimes don't quite make it over the try line.

No need to apologise fella, imagine most of us are grateful for any insight - these things aren't always going to come off. Sounds like he is to much trouble anyway and best avoided (or his 'management team' are, anyway - unlikely he'll end up in Europe with that in the background)

You will not get grief for trying to keep us informed. Will be glad to hear any news from you.

definitely this.

Thanks all, it's been an emotional and record-breaking run but I guess it's all over now.

Shame we didn't get this one over the line for whatever reason, but it was a fun thread while it lasted.

(8 more posts to make it a round 2,500, by the way)

Come on Wedgee - one more gem of information. On here and we clear 2500 easily

 

[Megazone]

Why do people still find mentioning the post count and page number funny?

It just looks like a sense of humour default.

Oh hang on, post 2494 hehehe

 

[albionite]

There still might be a few more twists to this story, if the clubs are pulling out maybe the investment group would sell their share and make it more friendly for a European club to invest.

Yeah I know I'm dreaming and we end up with another loan like Best after all our targets fall by the way side.

anyone else feel a little sorry for JC? seems like he was close to his dream move to Inter and a combination of 3rd party ownership/mafia/Dad/usual greedy agent bullshit has derailed it.

Nope.

I feel sorry for the #holdthenerve gang

Nope.

they only have themselves to blame (as does JC I suppose).

Not happening then!
