Who now believes the investment

Bates will go, he is too old and his wife is sick.

We are in for big name signing from Blackpool to replace Billy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_lVFbyGn1Q

even chorley has gone quiet on the subject must be bad news

Is happening

Ball is in Bates court, he needs to show a greater appetite to sell or this deal will fail like previous ones.

Check my username.

The takeover was no lie as I know which agent is brokering the deal. Bates was the stumbling block a few weeks back as he wanted to remain chairman and they didn't want him.

I admit it's very quiet and put this down to the fact he has agreed confidentiality BUT for the life of me I don't know why it's taking so long. Maybe there is a lot to unravel knowing how Bates has worked his magic over the last 7 seasons.

The fact we are actually spending money (before the Snoddy cash) makes me believe it's all done and dusted apart from the actual signatures on the contract.

If not then NW has definitely got the measure of Pappa!

If anything it would be bates that would prevent the deal from going ahead. He is getting more stubborn with age, the pr1$ck.

I believe the takeover is still on.
