    I suppose there's always the "what if...." scenario we all have but in this case just on a grander scale.

    Would a club secretary say "billionaires" in a statement? Seems a bit crass to me.

    The bloke was crackers but way more entertaining than the likes of Ed Sheeran ...

    ... produced a few things that were totally original.

    And that's a difficult thing to do in music.

    It was the drums that got me, then found out he used two drummers to get the sound. Still think there was nowt like him around at the time like, as you say, made something that sounded original. Kings of the Wild Frontier still sounds fresh today, just stuck it on for a quick 80's nostalgia blast.

    Not at all, been following and commenting on the thread for weeks just yesterday all I did was question the alleged itk's as one in particular story flip flopped more than Boris Johnson in PMQ's. Wasnt abusive just said why I doubted it.

    They themselves provided the contrary information. Rubberface one day saying Storey was in pole position then after a twitter rumour about Dubai interest and suddenly it was "positive talks this afternoon" and it was definitely Gray and 3 Dubai businessmen.

    Then theres Prehab? Who was also claiming to have inside info but was saying totally the opposite to the other.

    You're not going to get anything other than unsubstantiated rumour though. Personally, I'd rather the posters who are hearing bits and bobs post them but I fail to see the point in questioning them on it. It's not like they're going to be giving names out on a message board or owt so either take it in good faith or don't.

    While I don't know any of the posters personally, they've been around a good while, have mates on and off the board and it serves them no purpose to make **** up imo.

    Wouldnt expect too much detail but if there was any truth youd expect a level of consistency with what was being said

    During the FPP 'takeover' I was given information by a great Sunderland friend, of 20 years, who knows Methven and who introduced me to him in a pub before a Sunderland away game. (He's given me, yesterday, some dynamite info I can't yet post.)

    I was also given information by a personal long standing UK friend of Fuhrman. I met him through a work option but have now lost touch with him.

    The information was completely different.

    Which information should I have posted in your opinion ...

    ... if it's both then it would obviously be entirely contradictory.

    All I can say is that it's Fuhrman related but with a twist on the original FPP situation.

    I'd be delighted if it came off.

    What people have to remember is that people like me, Rubberface, Prehab, etc are in no position to interrogate people who drop us info.

    One of my 'informers' is a London man close to the top of the legal profession. Another is a lady who works for a major national newspaper, albeit not in the sports field.

    How the f**k do people think I can quiz people like these on their info without pissing them off and losing contact.

    I'm an ex-bouncer ffs, not one of their peers ...

    ... it's only through work, and my personal charm, that they even deem to speak to me.

    I've no idea about the other lads but I'm seriously punching above my weight and only finding, sifting & posting info for the benefit of lads like you ...

    ... it's really really annoying when it's hoyed back in your face tbh.
