    I'm not saying people don't have a right to get angry with him, I was just reporting what I'd read.
    Mind, I'm not sure what the point of getting angry with him is. Ask questions, sure, but getting angry with people doesn't get you anywhere.

    Maybe why they picked the venue next to a hospital

    Without reading the thread yet.. When I hear 'Grigg is committed to the club' I automatically think that he is off and they're just retaining whatever value he still has.

    Which is fair enough.

    I could be wrong but with PR people like Methven you can only read between the lines.

    Fail to see where I tried to call anyone a fraud but hey ho, there you go, strange how people read things in different ways isn’t it.

    Yes, you'd think there would be two entirely different accounts of what was stated <doh>

    Wants to see how the club operates ....

    .... but some people keep insisting we've had nothing but a loan that will be repaid.

    It's a takeover!

    Of course it is.

    Its a takeover by a group of folk who know exactly how to take advantage of financial adversity and manoeuvre themselves into control.

    Exactly the kind of folk we have been absolutely crying out for to run this club of ours for almost eternity.

    You wondered how Ellis became a billionaire, you can see the clinical, ruthless and controlled streak in these cats already.

    It sounds like the fans rolled over and had their tummies tickled again instead of asking some serious questions. A wasted opportunity

    What was the most serious question you'd have asked ...

    ... if you'd been bothered enough to go?

    If, by the board meeting, the board/management/team haven't turned it round, maybe the chosen FFP member will deliver the coup de grace.

    Direct quote from Donald which directly contradicts those people who claimed this was never a takeover and never will be.

    "We agreed a price on a potential takeover, and it was solely down to them if they wanted to do it."

    I was at the talk in at Steels club on Thursday night and I can tell you that Methven was asked serious questions, it did get a bit heated between some fans and Methven but he never ducked any questions.

    But that contradicts what the other poster claimed ...

    ... surely we should believe him rather than someone who was actually there.

    Perhaps you're just one of these gullible drug taking idiots who go along with anything the club throw at them.
