Tommy Youlden's Ears I hear he's been driven to distraction by the sleaze, greed and general nausea surrounding the prem, agents and players

Coppelled Streets It's the bit about also selling the chip shops which confirmed its truth to me.

Tommy Youlden's Ears Blimey, there really are some literalists on here aren't there! The chip shop comment was a joke. Maybe a joke without the funny bit, but a joke nonetheless. All I can say is that the source is impeccable. Source might have got it wrong. Deal might not happen even if source is right. But it's what I heard. It is not unfounded. But it is a rumour.
Money sounds toppy to me - but then if Hicks and Gillett paid £218.9m for LFC, and DIC are now offering £400m, then maybe other US based funds would like a bit of that.

Tommy Youlden's Ears Have been told, by a decent source, that club is in advanced talks with some of Marcus' countrymen. The whole thing; club, stad, hotel and chip shops. I've heard a price but won't say for now as might implicate source. More than I'd have expected though.
Implications? Dunno, might provide dynamic new leadership, loads of money and a future brighter than a very bright thing. Might also coincide with relegation, provide an excuse for Sir Steve to 'take a break from football', and trigger the whole thing unravelling as with so many clubs we could all name.
IMO it'd be a v sad day. I reckon Mr Mad has been a fine Chairman. He has his faults, but don't we all. No doubt events of the last few months- worriesover lack of spending etc. - will lead many to say 'good riddance'. I think that would be sadly misplaced. I hear he's been driven to distraction by the sleaze, greed and general nausea surrounding the prem, agents and players. So football will lose a decent (in all senses) businessman, and gain what? Maybe another Randy Lerner (everything crossed), but maybe another Hicks (oh dear). We'll all be going to games at the Ginsters RoyalBowl.
You will have to give me a clue about the source as I have heard nothing of the sort.
Cheerleaders might be good though. Small mercies...

North Somerset Royal Tommy Youlden's claim to fame is that he scored the goal that never was. I guess therefore that this is the rumour that never was.
