    With respect, you said not much other than making unsubstantiated claims about a contentious issue regarding the influence of Charlie Methven. Feel free to continue to do so but expect to be held to account for it.

    To be fair most claims on message boards are unsubstantiated, whether it’s something people want to believe or want to disbelieve depending on preference.

    There's a difference though, between random posters and people setting themselves up as 'a voice' while claiming to have inside information and 'contacts'.

    Surely you feel that you have a responsibility to be accurate and back up your claims.

    In all honesty I've still no idea what this is all about. I'm aware of the existence of WMS but have no idea what they do. When I saw a flurry of posts I ignored it at first but it's continued.

    The lad from there seems indignant about something but I'm not sure what. I've no idea what he's saying about Methven and what he's agitated about.

    Can you give me an idea?

    I don’t see myself as a voice though? If you think I’m a liar then fair enough. I’m not sure what benefit there would be in making stuff like that up.

    Let’s hope what I and others have said on this is complete bollocks and Methven is nowhere to be seen.

    Nee idea. But I’ve placed $50 as my first bet ever on Gus. If it comes in then it means we can put food on the table for a week.

    We can agree to disagree about the definition of 'claims' and 'postings', it's immaterial really. However, you posted "...the point is he (Methven) still influences things even though he’s resigned....." . It's only natural that people will want to know a) what it is he influences and b) by how much he influences them, given his low reputation amongst the support. As a member/contributor of WMS you can't be naive enough to think that that post/claim would remain unchallenged. As to his attendance at homes games - I couldn't give a flying one, he won't dare show his face when the club have paying customers in attendance once again.

    FWIW, my opinion is that his influence extends no further than PR and anything in relation to the actual day-to-day running of the club was by dint of his association with SD back when they were bosom-buddies so they agreed on most things in order to flip the club and make a few quid. SD being the majority shareholder made CMs 'agreement' to anything moot as SD didn't need his backing anyway. CMs 'influence' has always been, and will always be of a very minor variety given his shareholding. All imo of course.

    I only put a couple of quid on at 12s, as a token gesture. Wish I'd put more on now ffs.
