From Despair To Where?Localroyal Whatever happened to a room being booked in the hotel for a press release this week?
It's still booked. Corby have got a new model out.

SPARTA If they're coming then we must be close, and the rumour of agreeing a deal in principle may not be all that far off. Get it done. Still plenty of time to do a few a deals in the transfer window, and it'd be nice to lift the mood even more and hear their plans.
Who's IN for an annual pre-season tour of Oman? It'll beat Portugal anyway.

It will be a Dry tour in more ways than one.

Well I live in Saudi Arabia at the moment. Whilst Oman is a bit more liberal than it is here in the Kingdom I would not recommend a trip to the ME during Ramadan (July) where everything is closed except at night. Also it will be about 50 degrees! There will be no preseason trip to Oman. Maybe in January or something or a short trip (maybe international break Feb) but July.. forget it.

Having lived in both Saudi and Oman, Saudi for three years, Oman for over twenty I would say that it is like comparing chalk and cheese. Stores stay open during the day in Oman during Ramadan and though the bars on the air base closed they did open for an hour for carry outs for non-muslims. For my last eleven years I was based in Salalah and during the Khareef (monsoon) which runs from June to September the temp was usually around 30c max but it was quite damp.
but agree Muscat can be unbearable at that time of year.

TBM Surely this is good, having two interested parties
Means they will bump the transfer kitty up
Oman: "We'll give you £5m in January"
Yanks: "We'll double that"
Oman: "£20m"
Yanks: "£40m"
Oman: "Messi and Ronaldo"
etc etc

Yep KSA is a different kettle of fish all together. Everything is shut during ramadan only at night do things open. At least in my case Bahrain is down the road..

Major Inconvenience Two parties just means it'll up the price, so whoever wins will have no cash left over for any transfers at all.

I don't think the price will change, its what they can offer to the club that will (ie, their vision for the future and how much transfer kitty there will be etc)

grey_squirrel Actually, Zingarevich won't give a toss about the future of the Club. All he'll be interested in is the dosh.
