The club will tell us what it's plans are when it is the right time to do so and they have everything in place. Don't panic we will not be amonst the first to go. My money is on spurs and sunderland.

To try to get people to think something is going on or not going on within an organization. Considering the recent history of club-/owner-/Dux- statements, I don't feel any need for another. We will not be told anything that might jeopardize an ongoing or future deal and I think the truth may just do that. As I said in one of my posts: In times of turmoil - trust no one!

It's the real fans who suffer &, quite frankly, are the ones funding the ridiculous fees paid to agents and players. I don't think we will go under however. We're too attractive a prospect for that to happen. Even if we were to go into receivership we could easily be sold as a going concern. Compared to Leeds and what they went through we're in much better shape financially. As a club we've been run prudently, much to the dismay of many fans, and the wage bill has been brought under further control this summer. Ironically it might be the sale of Zamorra, Pantsil, Ferdinand and McCartney that ends up saving us from going in to liquidation and the points deductions that would follow. Well said H & Z.

As was said previously, Gudmundsson probably doesn't have the hand to stay in the game & is sitting back waiting to see how it progresses. The financial situation is changing almost daily. It would be great to hear something but it is unlikely, & everyone is watching trying to predict the outcome. So many problems & so few answers except hope that the club is sold to someone who has the financial backup to invest in the clubs long term future. Maybe people are waiting for a change of government in the U.S. & for things to stabilize. Again, as was said, all we can do as fans, & the players also, is be committed to the club & game. We have highly experienced leaders in Zola & Clarke, they know what it takes, & we have a good squad with heart. If we keep playing the brand of football that we are known for, i still think that in a couple of years when all this is a memory, we will be thinking about our next game in Europe. Forever the optimist. Yes Iain, it’s a bit of a poker game at the moment isn’t it.
