I think the new owners are building up the suspense because they have managed to sign up a real blockbuster team, bringing back Doyle and Sayfutdinov, backed up by Lindgren, Robert Lambert, Zmarzlik, Lebedevs with Tai Woffinden as rising star. The 37 points limit was waived….or else! As the new owners said.

And don’t tell us but a certain Mr Godfrey will be team manager and he has managed to get concessions from Polish authorities to ride most home matches on a Sunday providing those matches take place between October and March which would work as most teams do not seem to like riding matches in the summer months.

Yes. How did you know? That part was meant to be kept secret till after the staff signing tonight.

Sorry did not know that. I will have it redacted straight away. I knew my advisers would let me down but I listened anyway. Should I resign now or after the signing tonight. Replies on a post card please as I don’t do emails or WhatsApp. (Other messaging services are available)

Have the rest of the BSPL hacked Louis off that much, that he’s now doing this on purpose to be as disruptive to them as possible? He knows they need Ipswich.

People may scoff at that idea, but it’s entirely possible.

Is Michael Aspall going to pop out with a red book tonight and introduce the new owner

It is possible but I don’t believe Louis would do that, there is definitely beef between the bspl members despite rob godfrey saying they are all friends and they all get along but them not liking each other is a healthy thing if there was an independent body running the sport but there isn’t so it’s to the detriment of the sport

Didn't deserve both barrels from Barton but certainly didn't deserve new contracts either

I’ve taken the view throughout that completing the sale of a business takes time and that the formal confirmation/announcement will be made whenever that process is complete.

However…..it is getting a bit strange now, particularly in the context of this evening’s little soirée.

It's probably a cunning scheme done in conjunction with Amazon or JD Sports, to sign people up to do "voluntary work" and they get loaded onto battered old coaches and taken off to work a night shift for no money.
