Gymshark might at least mean a decent choice of leisure wear in the megastore.

Would be interesting to know if that's the people who own Gymshark or Gymshark as a company. Either way, their CEO (Ben Francis) owns 70% of the company, is supposedly worth about £1.3bn and has a season ticket at Aston Villa - so he's clearly got the wealth to fund a football club and is clearly interested in football. I'd certainly be content with that, but it does seem a bit left field.

How can Storey, a known liar and fantasist, confirm anything?

His track record is atrocious, and is he even allowed to name other bidders when he's under NDA?

But he talks a good game and it sounds like he isn't the money behind it. A football fan who seems to get that clubs aren't a plaything. So I'd give him a chance. But then he probably is quite a good talker/ liar. This is a man who convinced an F1 team he could afford to sponsor them and who's energy drink appears to be mythical.

Didn't hear the interview but posts on Twitter following Dellor's article saying he'd "signed a legal document"

Any one confirm?

How can he even say this (if true) given NDA's etc

He’s probably been to the O2 store for a new iphone and signed the new contract.
That’s a legal document

An offer to buy is "a legal document". Doesn't mean it'll get accepted or even read.

This is a guy who is willing to, essentially, lie in court.

Not so sure about Gymshark. I think I'd struggle to overcome the temptation to always call them Gymshart.

Gymshark would be massive (pun intended). Won’t happen though. Not sure how liquid it is either.

Managed to have a few mins with Sir John after the game today, asked him his views or if he any idea on progress of sale.

‘Not even close at this stage’

It'll take months for a sale to be agreed and go through the FL checks, however the FL are insistent now that nothing be revealed to us mugs until things are completed.
