    But we don't know they can't keep this one? If in 2 weeks time we are no where near then I will be the first shouting, but give them a chance while we still have limited supplies.

    And let's be honest to even have 1 vaccine, let alone 3/4 available this month is noticing short of a miracle

    There have certainly been mistakes but the purposes of the rules are quite clear. People were fed up with the privations and restrictions of the Second World War but they got on with it. These are the sacrifices we have to make for the benefit of society. You can reasonably expect people to listen until its safe and its dealt with. Unfortunately, people don't want to listen and that is unreasonable.

    Whatever I think makes no difference whatsoever, I can't 'jinx' things by doubting these promises.

    Have a bit of faith, they have put their cock on the block with their "mid Feb" target.

    If by then we are miles away then we should be shouting

    I want it all to be true mate, of course I do ...

    ... me, Mrs Smug and our friends and family are at risk.

    All I'm saying is that we've had all kinds of world beating promises that have failed and made people sceptical.

    That doesn't make me a bad person or lacking in faith.

    We can't just automatically back a government that's made so many mistakes.

    This isn’t the Second World War, and it shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath.

    Why aren’t the government strongly advising people to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle? Which would increase their chances of survival 10 fold?

    Instead they advise people to stay at home with only takeaway fast food restaurants and supermarket booze as their only outlet.

    1 amount of daily exercise allowed with all kinds of confusing strings attached, is enough to put most off.

    People will be priming themselves for this disease, all under the guidance of this government.

    It perhaps didn't help early on when our PM was walking around without a mask, shaking hands with people on Covid wards without wearing gloves etc.

    It was completely the wrong message to send out. Thats not excusing the current tranche of knackers, but perhaps those last summer who flouted the rules had some justification for not believing in how serious the situation was.

    I have never suggested to back the government, what I am saying is we have to give them a chance to deliver the vaccine.

    If (a big if) they deliver their promise we will all be over the moon, that doesn't mean we all suddenly forgive the mistakes

    Had many a conversation with Smug. Sound bloke and we have passed information to each other, both ways. Certainly not a proven liar. Far from it.

    The North East and Yorkshire is way ahead of the rest of the country for vaccinations. Especially good news for a lot of people on here.

    I believed the Americans, Gf were the ones in the driven seat it seems KLD didn’t start till august. I didn’t know about KLD till his names hit the paper, only thing I new was
    Big money potentially more investment to follow, people can believe it or not but GF was 100% back in talks in July time to take the club, sticking points was Donald again

    Fuhrman would've been great for the club,

    Donald was saved by KLD otherwise FPP would've taken the club, by default by the end of another failed season.

    I'd never heard of KLD's interest and the only credible buyers, all year, were FPP.

    KLD, himself, threatened to walk on Nov 27th if he couldn't buy a controlling interest.

    You've had endless stick, on both forums, and I haven't seen too many apologies ...

    ... that's how it is whenever you pass on info.

    That info may be wonderful for the club and supporters but some people's jealousy, that you're being told things, overpowers their sense of reason.

    Magnus: Smug has sent me messages before anything has come out he’s doesn’t make stuff up.

    Thanks mate, sadly your post will be totally ignored as some people have already made their minds up.

    (No idea why this isn't on the Takeover thread tbh, apologies to everyone.)

    Or... Rumours of a redistribution of vacine from the North back to the South to plug the gaps in their arms
