I suppose so, but as we know, private sales can often get much larger fees as owners don't want the competition. I don't see why they wouldn't at least entertain an offer. Would JP pay over the odds for say Mighty Bandit as a potential Boodles horse?

They could just be washing their hands of everything in the most efficient way possible and that would be to take the phone off the hook for 2 weeks and then spend one day selling them all.

Certainly more to it than known at present that's for sure.

Do you think? Kinda took their word for it from the statement i.e family can’t take the deaths anymore.

Can understand if they had young kids in the family witnessing any of the deaths that could be very distressing and they would feel some blame for that, right of wrong.

Didn’t look into it myself but others have and pretty sure the are still very financially strong ain’t not money issue.

Suppose if ya had the wife onto ya for spending couple 100k at sales and then kids onto ya when they break down it would be a no brainier.

….Klopp leaving LFC at the end of the season is a bit of non-racing news that just broke.

Proper punch in the dick that news, gutted is an understatement.

Sly Sports will be unbearable over the rest of the season about it as well.

Hopefully, he's leaving with a few more trophies come May/June

There's no private sales as Tatts will get a share of the fee now anyway seeing as they've advertised the lot of them. Private sale probably isn't going to get them the best price.

It would be good to know if their horses are also out of training. If they're doing light work, then that's not really a problem with a focus on Cheltenham. Mighty Bandit I suppose will only go to the Triumph now, if at all going to Cheltenham depending on the owner

The ones to keep an eye on will be the ones Gordon keeps with his usual owners. If some of them leave the yard and the bidding isn't competitive, Gordon probably doesn't fancy them to win a decent pot for the new owners.

I thought that and posted it too. But I suppose there is every chance, as long as he is still in work, that Mighty Bandit runs in the famous 4yo Naas race which has spawned so many Boodles winners and which is the weekend following the DRF and fire sale.

…ATR have opened their Cheltenham mini-site;

Yeah they just wore him down, and offered nothing in the middle ground which is where Jamie could have helped.
He should also have seen the signs that Dave was feeling it.
And Dave will be regretting his strop I'm sure, but he seems balanced enough to get over it and put it in perspective, after he's slept on it.

See Dave has put up another vid up, (All my bets) where he apologises and says he maybe should be thicker skinned. For me he has nothing to apologise for, FL boys are used to each others banter, but you don’t just don’t be so dismissive of a guest’s opinion on the show. Would like to think FL lads will also apologise and learn from it.

Gutting news - best manager we've had since I was a kid.
Got a ticket for Old Trafford away game in April, sat in south stand near tunnel at stretford end.
Hopefully no late winners or too much excitement or I'll get lynched, and son in law won't be happy.
Be tough to sit quietly if it goes well.

They already are. I had to turn it off earlier. Some people on twitter need to remember he hasn't died!

I'd just this week bought the Jürgen Klopp funko pop figure for my 1 year old to play with in her doll house. Probably got it just in time before they jacked the prices up, silver linings and all

[Lobos]

Where will Klopp be going ??

Might get one for my grandson, to wind the son-in-law up.
He's a proud welshman from Swindon with a season ticket at Old Trafford

The last time the grandson (2 year old) was at ours I put one of those transfer tattoo's of the Liverpool badge on his back after our lass bathed him before they set off back to Cardiff, as a surprise when they got home

For clarity, our lass bathed my grandson not the son-in-law.

Caldwell runners to miss DRF.

There's an absolutely weird looking Mo Salah cuddly toy on the official LFC website that I'm mulling over buying, it looks like a tanned version of Peter Sutcliffe.
The Alisson version looks more like that bloke Joe Wilkinson off 8 out of 10 cats as well.
