Extra time

Surprise surprise: the deadline for prospective buyer Barry Moat to come up with the readies has been extended by an unspecified amount. Surely someone might have explained the meaning of the word "deadline" to Fat Mike by now? It'd probably be wise, in case he thinks we'll still be able to buy players in November when the transfer window deadline has long passed...

What's most worrying is the wording of the official club statement breaking the news, which reveals that, contrary to what had been indicated previously, Moat still hasn't actually made a formal bid. So, basically, when we are being told anything by the powers-that-be, we're being lied to.
