    Quite technical and legal stuff so someone would need to be well clued up to ask that and follow up if necessary

    Surely any deal would only be done past the point of no return after the final deal is signed off and everything is exchanged?

    OK you spoke, I listened so 50/50 in some respect :emoticon-0105-wink: but it was canny to know weeks before the news broke out :emoticon-0103-cool:

    It's a shame another bit of info didn't happen as I'd be £2000 richer :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl: (though I don't doubt it was looked at though I'm not sure how much of this I can share on here though)

    What gave you that idea though mate. Everything you have heard is hearsay. Second hand news. If SD and CM don't know the full story(SD's words not mine) then people on here and over the road sure as **** don't know either. Assume nothing.

    Unfortunately this is only too true Smug.


    There are plenty of ordinary fans over there who have appreciated the difference between where you have passed on information you've been given and where you have made informed guesses. Unfortunately the wums either ignore our opinions (which is the best option for us) or they attack us instead as being deluded, or worse.

    By the way, Mr Chuckles blames you for his ban here, saying, "The bloke obviously has an influence on the mods there or he is a mod himself."

    Whatever happens Smug has said things in good faith and is a man who has Safc deep in his heart.
    If it still happens, will people apologise to him? I doubt it. If it doesn't happen will people be delighted as they can win an internet argument.? I think so.
    Bottom line is, no one has been lying, faith has been placed in people and the trust passed on.
    I still believe it will happen.

    Mr Chuckles scuttles back to a board where he's hated asking for sympathy for being banned from a board where no one liked him <laugh>

    The thing is the Mods on here can spot a troll a mile off. No matter how sly & clever they think they're being they'll be watched, judged and banned. It's like the Mods are bouncers ejecting troublemakers and allowing decent people the opportunity to have fun on a happy forum. RTG exists on clicks so allow arguments to rage and wums to run riot.

    Im not a Mod and have absolutely no influence on the board as testified by my bans and absences.

    People like Chuckles are slightly disturbed people who go from forum to forum trying to justify their sad existence.

    Would anyone miss him if he never posted again, well no because he makes no positive contribution.

    He's worthless.

    I'll post an update in the morning. Clearly the takeover couldn't be talked about, but Stewart did his best. Scripted answers, middle of the road.

    Nothing that couldn't have been predicted in terms of answers, well ran, everyone had an opportunity to ask questions.

    Great night though. Well done to those who made it happen and put the effort in.

    Highlights of night? One poster a couple of hours ago saying they had just re-read the thread. Christ, it's taken me 2 days just to catch up.

    Then Vince losing his **** (Sorry Vince) for being ignored.

    Totally agree with this, he's basically trying to buy it 'on tick', the blokes an absolute chancer and would be a disaster for our friends up the road. As in all things, be careful what you wish for.

    Sneaky look in while at work and it's like the world's ended for some. I never thought SD would say to much at the talk in (doubt he's allowed to). Hopefully we hear good news soon.

    I’ve heard it’s off, and was never fully on.

    Hope it’s bollocks but I’ve not had bollocks Info before.

    Why would they have bothered setting up on Companies House etc?

    I'm reading through the latest posts on RTG with Banks (who is calling everything sh*t and saying the deal is less than 50% likely to go through) & Andrew P being all over them like a rash.

    I suspect that the latter has only come across the word 'embellishing' fairly recently, as he seems to use it in almost every post, aimed at Reiver.

    It's a shame though that he clearly doesn't understand it or how ironic he's being by using it, after all it was he who claimed to have posted on RTG 80,000 times a few weeks ago.

    His post count is currently 79,813 and was considerably less at the time!!

    Totally disagree. I use all parts of this site and we've got the easiest going mods about.

    The likes of Monty and TLG wouldn't have survived this long on other boards.

    I think people were expecting him to reveal everything, if (hopefully) when it happens the MSD lads will want to announce on their terms and not have dribs and drabs cripticly let out by the current owners

    He has said very little, by the sounds of it, but what he has said is a lot less positive than we expected. Sort of negatively vague. Dissappointing.
