US consortium in. .Beattie, Paynter & a currently unconfirmed Chesterfield player to follow. STRAIGHT from the top at SUFC (all depends on the deal going through on Monday/ Tuesday)

Rubbish, the deal with the US consortium will be at least 2 weeks and their transfer targets will include at least 2 MLS players and possibly a US coach

Nope - sorry that didn't come "from the top" at all. My colleague had lunch with KM in Brussels today at 12:00. . . . .No Beattie, No Paynter, and DW will not be dictated to in terms of bringing in US players. Do try again though, most entertaining.

McCabe selling Blades to Consortium fronted by Sean Bean, with backing from US investment firm that Bean has contacts with ( company part funded several films Bean has starred in). McCabe will right off all personal debt and allow the new owners to pump most of the investment into the playing squad (£20M initially with further investment upon expected promotion to Championship and then Premier League). This is why deals for big earners are on hold as the takeover is entering due diligence stage.
Really shouldn't have put this rumour on as it risks my friendship with Sean, but I just can't wait to see the Wednesday scums faces when this comes off.
100% genuine info from die hard Blade

obviously a wednesday fan trying to get our hopes up. .

I posted the original story and I certainly ain't no Wendy scum bag. I assure you that this story has genuine roots and the next 2/3 weeks will be very exciting down at BDTBL. Keep the faith Blades
Had an email from a US work contact who says rumours in Pittsburgh have begun and it will cause unrest with Steelers fans who have no time for 'soccer'

Sean Bean, more like Mr Bean
