    I think it was Ian Paisley who said,

    "Someone as subtle as I wouldn't be appreciated on the internet."

    Again though, there's nothing in it that couldn't have been said weeks ago. They could then have straight batted it from thereon in with a still ongoing line.

    Ian Paisley wouldn't have been on the internet - devil's work.

    I can't help but wonder why he can't appear to see that they cause a lot of the problems?

    Obvious favouritism and vendettas on their part, whilst ignoring the obvious 'wind up' merchants, will lead to frustration and irrational posts. It seems as though he must be in denial if he doesn't understand that!

    He needs to clean out and then restock the stables.

    I'm trying to wind down from of the craziest days I've ever had ...

    .. by past experience that's saying something.

    I've loved RTG and always tried to make a contribution with humour and robust debate.

    Sadly, it's recently fallen to pieces because the Mods have their obvious favourites and stupid grudges.

    Roger and the Mods are as much to blame as the clique they've allowed to run riot.

    True. But all he said 2 weeks ago and 4 days ago that there would be an update. It dampened down the 'deal is off' rumours. He's now given an update that effectively says nothing is concluded so can't say anything. They've probably learnt to play a straight bat from now on though. Maybe that's why RR/ALS/BBC/etc have been told to stop speculating?

    Tbh I'm not sure that it dampened anything. Rumours of it being off increased over that period imo. Agree that the straight bat has turned up later than it should have.

    The mods are the reason RTG has failed. Always said that. They inevitably determine if a forum thrives or turns to ****. RIP RTG

    So anyone have the slightest clue of the intentions of any investors? Are we currently begging for a small donation or are there folks out there itching to bring about big plans but being held back?

    Dont believe we will ever get a straight answer to this.
    It amuses me that short still has many detractors and gets pelters. His crime, not being as vigilant as he could have and letting his managers manage ( albeit pretty poorly in most instances ) .
    He dropped any where between 150 and 200m during his tenure after taking over a club in worse financial condition than Donald did. But he had the readies to sort it. He left the club debt free. He deserves a statue imo.
    I reckon sd and cm are now caught in the headlights. It was all fun when they were tweeting and getting selfies and painting faded stadium seats.
    Normal service has resumed. The important thing, success on the pitch has evaporated once again. They have presided over this evaporation since xmas and have probably welded the axe too late.
    I reckon sd likes the limelight and sees the potential of the club and doesnt like the idea of being a flunky.
    He used virtually nothing of his own ( by business standards ) modest stash and stands to make a pretty penny. But he appears to want the money and retain centre stage.
    Is it a coincidence that both us based consortiums have withdrawn when almost on the cusp?

    Whilst agreeing with your sentiments regarding the language used I think the term "your sort" is less than useful in reinforcing your viewpoint.
