Anyone else a bit worried some further news (not UWE related [directly at least]) will be announced at his press conference at 4pm? Maybe for example.... WAQ selling up?
Just a bit worried in that there's no smoke without fire and, given yesterday's rumour was right about the stadium, it's hard not to worry that the remainder may have been on the money too.
One the one-hand I know we've signed players, given DC a new contract etc. But on the other hand the signings haven't been quite as outlandish as I'd have maybe expected and I can't help but worry the £10m charge against the Mem is what's financed this - a bit like if I had been given a new credit card with a massive limit; yes I can go out and spend a sh*t load, but it's not really my money and I will have to pay it back nonetheless.
Very worried today. Wasn't convinced the UWE was going to happen (although it is a shame to see it finally dead in the water), but the worrying thing is the way it's happened.
The problem is, even if SH comes out at 4pm and explains why we pulled the plug, and maybe says the deal wasn't in Rovers interests etc, I'm still not sure I'm going to believe him. Granted that's hugely unfair perhaps, but I'm not sure what he can really say that would alleviate my concerns.
FFS. Just what we need 48 hours before the new season starts.

On the brightside it wasn't ever like there was a queue the size of the Next sale when Higgs was looking for investors. Of course there are other options for the Al-Qs to walk away. Um I wonder why they ever put that charge on the ground that hardly anyone cared about? |

If can't fund the UWE then perhaps in selling up and moving on is no bad thing, I wonder with him gone there's still a chance the UWE can go ahead as w/o that you sense it's another 5 years or more just threading water, at best, at the Mem. I understand Gasincider's "consortium" never did find another club to invest in.

As always with Hamer interviews I come away with more questions than answers, I am sure this one will be the same.
