Uncertainity smells
In just 11 days time I will be at the Barnsley game. The Addick world could have changed an awful lot by then. We would have played three games starting tonight at home to Bristol City, then Burnley follow at The Valley on Saturday and then we go to Portman Road a week from today.
November 1st would have been just over 3 weeks since the Zabeel "indicative offer," enough time one would think for the due diligence to have been completed. Will the deal get done or will they walk away due to something they discover or maybe outside forces will drive them into the arms of another club? Who will be our manager in 11 days time? Three defeats would put Pardew under an awful lot of pressure. It is unlikely the board will act with the Zabeel cash offer on the table but by then it could be either in the clubs current account or it could all have seemed like a cruel dream.
The uncertainity is so big I can smell it sat at my computer on an island in the Atlantic. ¶ 08:13
