He's back on RTG crying about being banned on here!

Loads of people have come to escape the kind of biiter accusation style he personifies.

They deserve to find a place where they can escape the spiteful attacks.

He came for a confrontation and found one, they'll all go the same way and this place will settle down to the cool place it is.

It really does
 
I don't usually agree with banning people for personal reasons, I think we've been too hasty in banning a few mag posters in recent years, but a troll is a troll and they never change so if you guys have been having to put up their **** for years it's better to cut them off and give everyone else that left to escape them a break.

Generally speaking though the ban hammer falls too quickly on here, we aren't a precious bunch but it makes it seem like we are.

I've just been checking with a lady who's in mergers & acquisitions for a fairly big outfit.

I asked about the fact that Donald has allowed foreigners, unconnected with SAFC, to register a company, using the SOL as the address, with Companies House.

I also asked if it means the deal is done or not.

This is her answer.

"There's done and done. It would be normal to set up the new company before the formal share transfer happens. That implies there are still a couple of pieces of paper to be signed. There may have been certain comments put in place which would make it nigh on impossible for the deal not to complete, so done to all intents and purposes, but not yet legally completed."

Still not totally clear but puts my mind at rest and confirms, imo, that the deal is done.

That talk in was pointless unless Donald was using it as a platform for his own interests.

I now believe that if the Americans take over both him and Methven will be gone and ....

.... was it Donald or Dell who appointed O'Brien and why?

So does using the SoL as the registered address mean it must have been at an advanced stage, is that why it's different to Staveley/ the Sheik setting up companies when intending to purchase the mags? Just trying to work out what the **** is going on, how likely it is to go through and what the **** Donald was playing at tonight! If his update was just "it's ongoing" he could have said that on Twitter weeks ago, and all the "don't post what you hear" stuff tonight was pointless! He'll be getting a lot of questions on Twitter tonight like, this event has raised a **** load more questions than answers, none positive, and he'd have been a lot better saying nowt!

I've just spoken to a mate who was there.

He took the 'other buyers' comment to mean that there have been other people wanting to buy who were unsuccessful, not that they're currently competing with Dell. That puts a totally slant on it.

We are all just getting a bit nervy mate, it hasn’t helped with you being confused either :emoticon-0102-bigsm. Although I know that is because you have lost your original source

If I use your address to register a company, without your agreement, that's fraud mate.

If you allow me to do that you'd have to have a very good reason.

Bit strange no one asked about that then! I wasn't sure how much the address bit meant. Maybe it is still on target, does sound a bit like Donald had some sort of agenda tonight though, which is strange because you wouldn't think you'd **** about with these lads! Just hope it's all part of an agreed strategy!

Confused, you've no idea mate.

Seriously I've had a sustained character assassination attempt by the RTG trolls, had self proaimed ITK's sending endless messages and, tonight, had 2 different mates tell me the Americans are/aren't there tomorrow.

And I have mates texting me continually asking for info/tickets/more info/tickets for another game.

I'm still not sure if I can drive up tomorrow as me and Mrs Smug are in. Derbyshire holiday cottage.

Confused <laugh>

Can someone please explain what truthfully has been said tonight?

Did SD confirm that Mr O'Brien has been given a directirs position or is that still rumour for now?

I doubt much I will say would surprise many on here.

As I’ve already said he came across really well and is clearly passionate about what he is doing at the club.

Has belief Ross is the right man, he has frustrations as we all do ie performances not as fluid as we may want but after 9 games we are top 6 with a game in hand . Not afraid to make a difficult decision if it comes to that but he doesn’t feel at that stage yet.

MSD people at game gave impression that we were further ahead in discussions than was actually the case. Work ongoing maybe 1/2 weeks. Believes we the fans will be please with what he is pursuing and deal is about the club not him or others. Has asked to stay on as he feel she can add value but if any takeover happens that isn’t his decision.

Genuinely we’ve heard most of the rest of it re scouting set up, Maja, grigg.

Repeating myself here but although no quotes/facts about the takeover I came away feeling positive

He DID NOT mention OBrien all night he didn’t have to no one asked a question about it

This might have just been a really badly timed event, as in Donald couldn't reveal anything important but everyone is absolutely desperate for him to do so. Hence every little thing he says, with a pint in his hand, being scrutinised and inevitably taken negatively.

Judging by the people who were actually there it's all good and we just need to keep on waiting as painful as it is.
