Where is this news on the “imminent” signing then?

Is this another "fluff" by the club, just like last week with Martin Jol on Darren Bent, who doesn't like to  067.gif speculate  067.gif

If this statement is also true, I'm just going to give up and throw myself down the nearest flight of stairs:

"On 5 Live last night Khan said that he would not be getting involved in footballing decisions.
He said his expertise was in sponsorship and pushing the club forward in that direction. He said that Martin Jol and Alexander Mckintosh were the footballing experts and he doesn't know enough in that direction to be deemed an expert. He did however say that they are top men in their field and he had every faith in them"  1500.gif

This is all becoming slightly depressing  090.gif

Don't panic, it's immanent

 049:gif Well it is not going to be Tom Huddleston as he has just signed for Hull!

The Bronsons

"Imminent" doesn't mean "happening in a few seconds/minutes/hours", it just means "likely to happen at any time" or "coming up". So stand easy, people, it could happen any time and not necessarily today or tomorrow or even next week.  

Me-ate-Live, innit??

If it's : I'm in my 33 year and my name is  Scottie 
I don't want to know ..............


I would hate to think  Mac was panicked into a deal that saw us lumbered with an over aged, over priced sicko from over There ..... Spurt 'n Spam

I on the other hand like Khan's quote .

1) There is no way he understands more about football than McKintosh and Jol - let them make the footballing decisions and take the footballing responsibility.
2) He does know about Sponsorship . So what League and what position will matter to him . If McKintosh and Jol cannot deliver find someone else that will .

Yup.

It's getting really, really dull.

if we merged all of these threads into one there wouldn't be much of a message board at the moment

Darren Bent a "done deal" to @Official_CPFC so say a reliable source!

Obviously something I knew I'd hear today as well..

What's wrong with Khan's statement? We don't need a Tony Fernandes here.

I agree with 'The Bronsons', but if it were to be announced next week then 'imminent' would be the wrong word.

In some contexts, "imminent" means during the next two hours.

Assuming that isn't what is intended here, it still implies "pretty soon" more than "eventually" and certainly in the next couple of days rather than next week.

I could start a thread on what's your favourite fruit and veg if it would liven things up. Anyway i have a parcel to go and pick up and i think it may be from Fulham FC :-)

Does the package contain John Arne Riise by any chance?? Or may be it's our imminent signing posted to the wrong address!!
