    Spot on, it's one of the most bipolar forums I have ever seen.

    It would be interesting to actually know who's involved with Gray like, he never struck me as being someone who'd want to be involved in buying any club.

    Sorry, I didn't explain myself properly.

    You said,

    "He’s closer than close to everyone concerned from what I know."

    My question is, apart from how close to everyone Bob has claimed he is, what other direct evidence do you have?

    Yeah that's what rubber face has talked about I think, despite all the self depricating we do we are the best bet to buy a club today. Where else are you going to buy a club that can fill a 40k stadium for less than £30 million.

    This is our chance like fingers crossed we don't **** it up.

    I've stood next to Methven on quite a few occasions, don't believe a word he ever said to me.

    Maybe his source is gray or someone who knows him? For all we know they could join up and become the biggest wealthiest consortium ever.

    Tbf, there
    Its strange he says on and off constantly, is obvs hearing something, but people close to deals can claim off when its not as bad as they are making out, just less progress in negotiations.

    What I don't understand is how he can claim the price has been agreed for weeks. There is not much else at all to agree, if DD is done and he has agreed a price, what are they still negotiating over

    Nailed it. Its why I'm not too worried about the fact it looks like a contradiction, he's just hearing a different side of events. He will 100% be passing on what he's been told in good faith, but I imagine people like prehab with links to the club will be getting a more accurate idea of the state of play. Even if Donald is 99% certain he's doing to do the share reallocation idea, he'll be telling grays mob that they're in with a chance to keep them at the table in case the other one doesn't happen

    The only time I've ever been this stressed was buying a rug in Egypt, I only bought it for a laugh but by the end I was stuck of my life trying to deal with the shop owner.
