The death threats made a lasting impression mate. He has also clearly stated that he won't sell to Hicks and he would look like a fool backtracking at this point. It's not just about money. Zillionare Egos has other concerns as well.

This is merely a marriage of convenience. With the present financial climate neither are able to arse rape us in the manner they would like to.

George doesn't have the money to keep up with his share in the club and twatty Tom can not afford to go it alone. Hence the stalemate and them both being stuck with a white elephant.

If they can at least bare to look at each other, talk a little and co-operate they can both go back to £1.5m in expenses and start to increase revenues and their profits.

Just to add:

1- Bob McCown is not the most knowledgable 'soccer' guy in broadcasting. If Stephen Brunt was there he could ask the questions and have an understanding. North American sports radio does not understand football.

2- Canada has SIX time zones, not five. They are: Pacific (Vancouver, BC), Mountain (Alberta-Edmonton/Calgary, NWT), Central (Winnipeg, Kivilliq region of Nunavut), Eastern (Toronto, Montreal, Baffin region of Nunavut), Atlantic (Nova Scotia, PEI, New Brunswick) AND Newfoundland (Atlantic -30mins).

So, if its a 3pm kickoff the match starts at 1130 in St Johns, 1100 in Halifax, 1000 in Ottawa, 900 in Flin Flon, 800 in Red Deer and 700 in the Kootenay.

3- Toronto, where FAN590 is located, is one of the worst sports towns. The Leafs are the equivalent of Newcastle, the Blue Jays just sacked their manager and brought back the one who won two world series in the early nineties but hasnt done fuck all since, the Raptors are perennial underachievers and TFC the MLS team has Laurent Robert and Rohan Ricketts and a group of supporters called The Red Patch Boys who throw streamers on the pitch when the opposition takes a corner. They do get 20 000 there but its because its the soup de jour in toronto. All good Canadians that do not live in the 416 and 905 area codes hate Toronto.

He also said the debt wouldn't be against the club. He has lied at least once, so don't be surprised if he goes back on the promise not to sell to Hicks if his partner had the cash to secure full control.

I would trust Gillett the same as Hicks.
