The way I heard it is that how everything will shake out is agreed, they’re just waiting for the appropriate date to make it official.

I don't think anything will happen! Reading this thread makes me think of the knitters who sat around at the guillotine. Not sure which one is Scamp though;)

From what I heard recently there is little truth to this, and that was from a reliable source.

I love how everyone has a reliable source giving totally contradictory information.

My reliable source told me that he had no idea.

I never claimed my source was reliable. He was a bloke in a pub, knee deep in buckets of beer. You be the judge…

That's the thing...as far as the public announcement he suffered a stroke and was recovering, I'm not aware of anything else other than hearsay. When I asked the wife what was said at her work, it was people hearing from friends that something was happening.
