I am with you on this If it is too just regurgitate what has already been said then that will be a poor show after the headline Annis has put up Hopefully is is more than that
Regurgitate or simply explain a lot of (sometimes) confusing and/or contradictory comments made not so much by Annis, who has his contacts, but those who jump on everything with an ‘alternate’ story?
Not you, but I really do think there are some on here who would ‘like’ to see any deal fall through, so they can mock!![]()

We already have approved for 60,000
So whilst I would expect the FAW to make a contribution towards increasing the size of the stadium it really will assist CCFC more in the long run.

Correct Chris.
Today has been full of people making up reasons why it won't happen when all the signs point to the positive outcome. It's almost like they want it to fail.
Some are never happy unless they have something to complain about.

Ned, I often question the motives/loyalty of some on here, and some of the stuff being posted point to me being correct
I appreciate some will be very cautious of accepting anything until the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed, but this is as close as we’ve been to a positive outcome since the desperately dark days of Tan’s initial involvement
We all have some reservations, mainly surrounding Tan’s volatility, but for it to be this far down the road, Trust/media/club denials aside, is not because Tan is leading potential suitors up the (proverbial) garden path
Keep the faith, people; assuming you truly want an end to the Tan era!![]()

You can lose preferred bidder status quite easily So it does not stop other bids coming in

It’s because it’s all still speculation until we are told otherwise.
