    It's what happens when you have a manager whose mindset is don't get beat rather than let's go win. Ross was the same as Parky for that.

    Defiantly need a new manager before any rash decisions are made with regards to players. If he can work their magic with them, then all the better. The style of play may suit players that were on the fringe etc.

    Yep, cautious lower league manager used to being the underdog, we've got what we deserve in all honesty

    Storey would need to do due diligence to make an offer.

    The club have said he isn't a possible buyer.

    He doesn't have a spare 500k/million for due diligence.

    He wouldn't pass the EFL test anyway.

  5. Exactly. Which begs the question why would someone post something which clearly has no possible foundation in fact,if it's not a baseless,pathetic attempt to deceive?

    Mad Bob got a bit upset when someone said that storey must be his contact, lol. As far as I'm aware a bankrupted person won't pass the EFL test and his company has just been made bankrupt. Is this correct

    Read a post from him today saying that Storeys was the best bid and had to be discussed. DD had been done. That was the hold up according to Berb.....after saying categorically there "Was no takeover"

    Think it's now safe to say that Berb will never be taken seriously again...if he ever was. Credibility now BIG FAT ZERO!!

    Agreed 100%. I do believe he hears things from sources in the club, but he's not as connected or as informed as he thinks he is, or as how he tries to portray himself, so he posts vague stuff to make it look like he's more informed than he really is.

    Finance expert explaining why SD and CM are keeping hold of a percentage. Amazes me how many of our fans cannot get their heads round the fact they were never going to totally leave and were always going to try and cash in for more at a later date

    Just the equivalent of selling a player with a "buy-on" clause....makes perfect sense, especially if he can't get his asking price at the outset.

  20. I think he may have had some inside knowledge at some point in the past,not now though.
    Reminds me of a time when I had a contact at the club, when Terry Butcher was manager,so many moons ago. I used to know the team,tactics and any inside gossip on a Friday afternoon.Of course,there was no internet then,it used to arrive by fax! I never said anything to anyone,but I used to amaze my drinking mates on a Friday night during our discussions of what we thought the team might be. Often I would deliberately include someone I knew wasn't playing just to throw them off the scent,in case they got suspicious! It all ended when Butcher got sacked,it didn't last long....I don't think he was there for even a year......and I've never had anyone on the inside again!:emoticon-0101-sadsm
