Well:
Pompey: in due dillegence with another bidder
West Ham: Have been taken over in the past week
Villa: Have Lerner (Billionaire)
Fulham: Al Fayed has said he has no intrest in selling
The [Poor language removed]: Hicks has sold one of his francises today to help him finance them.
Man Utd: Have the Glazers
Arsenal: Have two billionaires with a massive shareholding fighting for control.
Wolves: Wouldnt think so have Steve Morgan
Spurs: Maybe
Sunderland: Just taken over
Chelsea: No way
City: No way
Bolton: Why would you?
Stoke: Why would you?
Burnley: Why would you?
Hull: Why would you?
Balckburn: Why would you?
Wigan: Why would you?
Birmingham: Maybe
The likely targets
Porstmouth: To me its us, portsmouth or the rs. Portsmouth, if its them, puts them in a difficult situation via due diligence, but I don't know enough about due diligence to comment further.
The RS: A restructure of finances which could see either Statler or Waldorf (of muppets fame) depart. Either would become minor partners in the rs.
Us: Blue Bill giving up his trainset, but being involved in some part, thus to 60% rather than 100%.
If it was any of the other prem clubs (apart from spurs) the term "leading" would be a hyperbole too far in my book.
