I dunno this seems like you trying really hard to fit the facts to a narrative. The takeover may well not happen, but this is clearly more than just "the club putting out spin".
Take it up with him, he's the one that said it. Always nice to be spoken to like a ****, by the way, thanks for that.
Then your gran needs to learn some social skills. You haven't "given me ****", you're just speaking to me like a ****ing knob and it's unnecessary. If you're concerned that we've heard it all before or that the goalposts might move last minute, that's fair enough. Being a dickhead isn't. I mean, I don't have to share **** all with you, neither does HT2, so the least you can do is show some decency. Or, you know. Put me on ignore and whinge to others, either suits me.
Then stop sitting in here arguing against it when we have solid information. You really come across as looking for reasons for it not to happen which is just a miserable attitude.
