Daily Mirror.
"I know they are working extremely hard and had some very good bids turned down.
"It's all very well trying hard and nearly having these deals. The real dealmakers get over the line.
"Supporters say we don't get these deals done and history tells you we don't, but that's why I'm here - to change history. I'm confident Niall Quinn can get the deals we're after, perhaps in the next 48 hours.
