Reports late this evening claim that George Gillett and Tom Hicks are about to postpone construction of the club's new stadium because they can't raise the funds.
The controversial duo had hoped to send the builders in within the next fortnight but it's looking highly unlikely that the project is going to get off the ground, if you believe the latest claims.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remains confident of eventually taking over the club so this news will certainly be welcomed by him and his team of advisors.

PARRY IN BARCELONA....
Rick Parry is back in Barcelona again.
We have spent most of the summer informing you of the chief executive's frequent visits to the city. It would appear that this time he's there to conclude the deal for Espanyol's Albert Riera.
Despite working on that bit of business, we think that Parry's other visits there were for someone else, possibly at Barcelona, as we see no reason why he would have to make so many trips to conclude what appears to be a simple deal for Riera.
Will we ever know? Probably not...
