Don’t worry 

Strange place Bahrain, I’ve been over a couple of times on business staying at the Gulf Hotel. Mainly the Saudi’s weekend tripping over the King Fahd causeway and quaffing beers in their traditional get up. Very much illegal across the rest of the Middle East.

Anyone else fucking excited yet? 

Things like this don’t happen to Bolton.. we don’t get billionaires from the Middle East! 

Say a prayer before you head off to bed everyone

I'm so excited. It's unhealthy how excited I am. It's definitely going to destroy me tomorrow.

 

Either through over-excitement or crushing disappointment

Steady on, plenty of twists to come it seems yet.

on a separate point, I get the feeling that Mr PR man has also been tempering our expectations regarding the amount of investment forthcoming. Numerous references to overall wealth not necessarily equating to money going in.

More excited to get Ken out rather than billionaires in. I'll take anything over Ken except maybe Bassini.

We just have to keep a lid on the finance til we paid off debts and back on level ground I think.

lets not sign Messi just yet

We've spent 200k in 4 years, anything above that will be a bonus

Hot water and soap in the toilets  could be an easy win for any new owner.

It isn’t the King, it’s the Crown Prince of Bahrain.... Heir apparent 

I thought it was his dad Howard referred to

So what's the options and when will anything happen?

McLaren group is part owned by the king, the crown prince’s dad.. 

I actually have a bad feeling about tomorrow. It just seems too simple.

My bet is on getting liquidated by the court but then Ken crawling back to the Bahrainis before that happens.

What baffles me is, why has the name been released tonight after being so tight lipped for so long?!

Probably all come out tomorrow/today anyway

If what's been said is true and Ken is looking to postpone the share reclaiming for another week it has to come out eventually. We just have to hope that Bassini doesn't have the cash and we'll see big Wheats driving around in a McClaren in no time.
