Yes I should have specified A4A. Full of admiration for the actions of the 12%.
Yep fair comment Jacko. My subjective view would be that s4a were the Geoffrey Boycott and A4A came in to play the Pietersen role. Never be able to know for sure but I do think the media attention alone in helping out us in the shop window has been very important. It’s also ensured that the pressure on Lai in terms of Chinese culture became more than legal and financial. As I’ve said before, the only thing you can be certain of would be been doing nothing would’ve achieved nothing. I admire what Ali did but would also say I think it needs disbanding or realigning now. And he needs a 3 month break from it all but hopefully he’ll soon realise that
We would have had all this expedited if King Kohli was involved!

No idea if true but there are people on twitter sounding positive and saying we should know shortly.
So it’s changed from close to shortly. Don’t know what to think.

I’m not on twitter or Facebook, but a friend text me and told me what he had seen.
So I just put on here what I have been told, as this is the only forum I post on.

I've never heard of shortly. Is he part of the Hearn consortium?
Also, I never knew a close was involved in the bidding process.

That's an artists impression of Lai opening the envelope of his profits from sale.
