    Stick him on ignore.

    I'd agree that KM has an agenda, is borderline libellous and repetitive but repeated ad hominem attacks against him don't make good reading.

    You used to be subject to attacks over the road so why be part of the problem.

    This is still a great thread, and if the squabbling continues the thread will remain 'great' . . . . but without those constantly bickering.

    Let's keep it great like adults, eh, and not via moderation :emoticon-0105-wink:

    You've made a sweeping generalisation about people, calling them picks, when there's a fair bit of rational discussion and reasonable opinion.

    Rather than ignore the thread you've chosen to have a rant, the exact definition of a keyboard warrior.

    Of course we have no influence on what happens but that applies to every subject ...

    ... if people aren't allowed to post their opinions, no matter how contrary, what's the point of a chat forum at all.

    Do we know if Methven even mentioned investment being imminent? I've only heard it mentioned on PF but obviously it's not exactly reliable! If he did then you'd hope it's done, if not I'll be getting anxious again!

    He was asked about the announcement and used the word 'imminent'.

    I was told it was hoped to be before the Shrewsbury game but now being told Monday afternoon ...

    ... I'm believing it because I want to and the lad who told me believes it.

    In reality the announcement can only become reality when it's announced ....

    .... like a fart is just internal gas until you hear the noise <laugh>

    Fair enough..certainly not my intention. I love a good debate, but this thread has degenerated from decent banter into certain individuals getting personal and over what?...a football club ! I've been on here for a while now and with the BBC version prior to this and had some great discussions...but the acidic vibe that poisons RTG has come on here and its not good. Thinks it's time I took a break for a while. I really can't be arsed to be honest.

    How long has the Wycombe takeover taken ?
    Given that the new owner donated funds in pre-season, it must be a while.

    I'm sad to see that my attempt to confine KM's vitriol (for and against) to his own thread has failed.

    It's been deleted!

    No problem for me, let's see if he can do the same and stop posting his bile against SD/CM.

    I now have a pretty fair idea of who he may be/have been in his MANY previous RTG incarnations.

    As Loyd Grossman has said "The clues are there".

    Thanks, explains it well.

    Does anyone know if the rules on equity contributors change in league one vs the championship? I read through the FFP stuff on the EFL website this morning and it indicated that owners are allowed to contribute £8m (15/16 figures).

    Then this from a Coventry City journalist when they were in the **** in 2015 indicates that investment as long as it doesn't increase the club debt doesn't count towards FFP... unfortunately if all of this is accurate, then the 'loan' would class as that :( :

    TBH mate, it's not all been sunshine & roses on here in the past, plenty of acidic comments and bitter arguments.

    There are long term posters, as well as newcomers, capable of acerbic rhetoric so there'll be clashes.

    Things will settle down but, when all's said and done its not a reading room ...

    ... if people aren't contributing decent threads and posts they can't really complain about the content.

    This thread has been a roller coaster but hasn't ever come off the rails. Once the club issue a statement there'll be more meaningful discussion. Until then there's bound to be rumour, gossip and speculation .... but I think that's only to be expected.

    I'm not sure what Kittens is getting at but he may be proved correct ...

    ... he can only be correct once so posting the same thing over and over seems pointless but we're all entitled to post.

    The length of time this fart has been brewing for then I'd expect more than a great and fruitsome flappy woof woof by the end of it. Let's hope we are not greeted with one of those silent but violents!
