Aaargghhh! Please tell us it isn't Tony Larvin
I read your comments on the HDM site and I think you need to bin your source Wayne Parker, who seems to lead many down the garden path.
I was chatting to Adrian Watts (HireBase) the other week and he said they were more than happy with sponsoring Rovers (not investing/buying) and he hopes to extend the present arrangement.
I was also chatting to another sponsor (he wouldn't be pleased if I named him or his company) after the Saints cup tie, and whilst he was offering the usual 'wait and see' rhetoric that seems to be the given in these circumstances, he did say of the five investors reportedly interested diussions have been mainly with one party; a consortium with very strong local connections. Apparently, they were given the VIP treatment a week last Wednesday - it would seem they weren't put off by Mike Smith's power point
In addition, he did (suggest) negotiations were at an advanced stage and that an announcement could well be imminent, and that they were all aware of the effect of May Day on certain OOC players (he mentioned Mickey Paea). Oh, he also said both Neil and Rob would be sponsors next season and shrugged his shoulders when I asked if they would remain on the Board.
Like everyone else, I will believe it when I read the official announcement, but until then let the rumour mill continue.
