Which folk should graciously accept.

Yes, generally you can refuse to employ someone with an unspent conviction, as it's not considered discrimination under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. But to be fair, it would be good if such matters were judged on a case by case basis.

Meeting the Speedway Star deadline is way down the agenda.

Might be worth considering that as of now, nothing is sufficiently finalised to speculate or indicate when a meaningful announcement will be possible.

When they are in a position to publish something (meaningful🤞)they will. Until then (Wednesday or Thursday?) us folk on the outside can only wait.

Not sure we’ll have any official announcements today - tho it would be good if it did happen. More likely to be tomorrow or even Thursday.

As many of us are, although doubtful we will have any official announcements today (Tuesday) with Wednesday or Thursday being more likely.

The date was set/confirmed at the time of the original meeting being cancelled. So unless the meeting planned for tomorrow (6th) is cancelled there’s no need for any further updates. Just for the shareholders who wish to attend to turn up at the appointed place & time.

"Lets not" what?

Putting to one side the understandable sentiment and connection with fans and the wider supporters of the sport, if since the last statement was put out there's not a lot to be said, if nothing has materially changed. it would be fair to presume CL is not hiding behind anything like a corporate wall and as he always has been, will be sympathetic to the views of fans wanting to know more. So lets just wait and see what if anything transpires over the next week.

At least we’ve got fan interest in Ipswich 😉

I don't recall the then Chelsea owner saying much at all.

I agree Chris has made a rod for his own back by making the statement he did which led people to believe something was close to being finalised. However by the lack of further updates it would appear the matter has not been resolved in the indicated timescale. So for now there is nothing to report...But that does not mean that "its all gone T!ts up" just that for now there is nothing to report...one way or another. Folk may have there own opinions what no news means, and looking through this thread there's plenty of opinions on that front as well as what CL plans could/should/will be. As often stated on this forum we are all entitled to our opinions....But eventually, there will be only one decision made and that will be the one made by Chris himself. - And frankly, whatever that decision is, anything else said in the meantime would just fuel the fires of speculation and indeed may be prejudicial to any ongoing plans or negotiations.

Dammed if he does, dammed if he doesn’t. Frankly the most appropriate statement would/should be “No further updates will be issued until there is something in place to report”. Until that point. No news is indeed….no news.
