Biggest lie since Santa Claus

The fact this guy wanted to share control of the club with them shows what a joke it is. If you have that much money you would want shot of them and bring in your own people. I don't think he would need to retain Pattinson just in case some bogs needed mending

Laffy, the N&S; has you describing the story as a myth, while the Trust seem to be still going along with it. Have you been misquoted or are the rust* in cloud cuckoo land?


Edit: I was going to change rust to Trust, but maybe my keyboard's trying to tell me something.

Happy birthday to the non-existent, made up (likely in league with a certain KA) purely to derail the Lapping deal, billionaire.

It would be good if they released a statement today which said that they were putting it to bed, a year on.

Even if they were keeping the charade up and spin it so that they're saying they have to draw the line somewhere and the lack of progress blah blah blah, at least it's done.

The alternative, to continue on like we're just supposed to forget about it, just makes things even more surreal.
Arise, Sir Jimmy

Utter utter shambles...and its gone beyond a joke now. ..A conference call...oh wow! You just couldnt make it up....Then comparing Crawley to us makes the idea all the more tin pot...
These lot are simply not fit and proper persons to run the club..And again hiding behind confidentiality bullshit once more.

Tell you what is needed
..A best interests meeting ....the fa supposedly vet folk before taking over but they should start assessing them during ownership and look into everything ,the way the are conducting themselves.
These are worse than Knighton and Oystons.

Laffy is right though - spoke with somebody else today who has a close affiliation to the club and he too insists that it wasn't made up - people do actually believe it.

It's mental isn't it. The only thing that the believers have to go in is Jenkins' word. Why do they just accept that?

Wasn't Andy Hall by any chance was it? He's a big believer if his little performance yesterday is anything to go by!

I find the response from the club in the News and Star regarding Crawley hilarious and proved they haven't done their research.

In the meeting with AJ and JN i mentioned about the billionaire and length of time its taken. I agree its bullshit but they used Crawley as an example of it taking over a year to materialize and go through. I asked Crawley and it took 3 months to go through from initial 1st contact to agreeing heads of terms!

"A statement on behalf of the CUOSC Board" Deano. I assume that the Board speaks on behalf of its members. It's been suggested to me that they were taking the piss in what they said about a mega-rich investor and him/her not being in touch during the floods. I disagree. I think that they're sitting on the fence, waiting to see how it all pans out them declaring that they knew the truth all along. So what does CUOSC think? Is there a billionaire or not?

Well we all know that the trust board do what they want and don't listen to its members. I refuse to call them CUOSC as its has Supporters club at the end and the trust are anything but a supporters club!

The trust don't commit to anything - thats their main issue. There'll just sit along with an anyday will do attitude, happy for anyone else to make decisions and keeping quiet so they don't upset anyone and so that NS can sit in the directors box using free tickets at away games while he doesn't represent the fans or members.

I believe Andy Hall believes theres a billionaire, he tweeted that things were going on behind the scenes last May when the announcement 1st came out.

well Lord Clark, on Radio Cumbria ,said he knew who it was! ! Where does he stand on this , he is also a small shareholder.
Edit : to add I think he said this around the time the fake billionaires were at BP. Might be wrong tho !!

I have said all along that I think a billionaire or similar does exsist. As I have said before these things can take a very long time.If I was the billionaire I would want answers to a lot of questions eg. I would probably want to build a new stadium with housing and shopping. Would I be able to find the land? Would I have to wait forever on planning?What would the local authority view be on this?

There are real problems in solving problems.These people usually want answers from lawyers. We all know how long they take.I do not believe that AJ/JN and Lord Clarke would dream up a lie of this magnitutde irrespective of supporters not being happy with their management. Perhaps the forthcoming forum with AJ/JN will reveal all because they would not be staging it without having something to say to please supporters.
