Evening Update from Reuters

Cheers Stoopo, i missed that. Whilst initially worrying it would appear that the deal must almost be finalised if that's the case.

I think so! Hopefully it will be concluded quickly and we can look to the future - Bates free and with some stability for the club and supporters.

Thanks for the update

This bit is interesting

"Sources said Parkin is working with potential partners from the Middle East on the deal. One source said Parkin had met potential partners when watching his racehorses in training at the famous Godolphin stables in Dubai."

Could this be the potential partner?

It's nice to speculate.


Hopefully it gets done quickly

I hope it's him, not one of his stable lads...

Godolphin dont do football clubs, only racehorses,

white BL...is that link you posted to do with sheikh mohammed...if so, then yes please bring him on.....he was interested in liverpool a few years back in a 400mill deal but gillett & gilks one wanted to sell & the other didn't i think, so he pulled out...it'll be good for him york race course is just up the road, & it'll be mega for us....

Is this the Parkin who said he wasn't doing a deal? Why can't we just forget about expecting to pile millions into the club with no return!!

think that might have been pearson ja white....

I am so confused. Bring back Bill Fotherby!

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel Yorkie!
