    It's all good, he just asked questions and I answered, nobody needs to jump on anyone, I'm sure he didn't mean anyone else's views don't count, he just probably wanted to know if I was a mag.

    They weren’t in a box m8, think the co workers are pulling your leg.

    They were in the directors box which isn’t actually a box. They dined in the boardroom and then were escorted into the premier concourse area.

    "Didn't make a bid" could be Donald being clever with the truth?

    FPP have x valuation, Donald has y. That's not technically making a bid.

    It isn't, but it is very much in keeping with what he said. I think the most likely explanation is exactly as I said, that he asked them to consider a majority shareholding, but that they declined to make any such offer and stuck with their original idea.

    Was it the Wimbledon game? I turned down going in the box so I could’ve had the info first hand. I talked separately to two people who gave me the same info.

    They are and of course, that's why I said 'most likely', but they're based on Donald's wording on a number of occasions. He said that they went away and had a meeting and decided to do the loan. He said they didn't make a bid and weren't interested in majority ownership at the time.

    A lot of people on here seem willing to completely discount the idea that this is what happened.

    Not sure I've seen many on here discount anything that is suggested - none of us know for certain what is gospel and what is not. I'll keep reading and await what happens

    Yeah I know there are plenty of level-headed people, but there are people a few posts up who are saying they won't listen to the owner, just person X.

    Seems daft to me.

    Is this statement based on anything other than Donald's various comments?

    Yes, the fact we've never seen any documentary evidence to the contrary and they've done a completely different type of deal.
