    Not at all. I've got no reason to believe the story or disbelieve it.

    There might well be a meeting, what I'm questioning is that he's 'networking' during it.

    Networking to me is talking to business people who may be able to benefit each other! ( usually on the golf course )

    The club have had dozens of calls from intermediaries, claiming they can hook them up with buyers, I'm surprised they're still talking to anyone who isn't actually a potential buyer.

    Is Nick Thompson going to be interim MD when they take over?

    I've no reason to make stuff up and I've not done so in the past, I just wanted to post news (possible big news) that I thought would be of interest to most on here.
    Shall I message you the details of the company? If you saw the job they do you'd get it. I just don't want their details on here as it wouldn't look good for them, especially now it's part food topic lol at least then if it happens people won't think I was just making it up.

    It's at an earlyish stage but is a real possibility and could be great for us

    I'm guessing they had, but it's nice actually knowing from the horses mouth that somethings going on, not just from Allam

    Yeah if you want, that'd be great :emoticon-0148-yes:

    To clarify I'm really not disputing your story about the meeting here. I'm massively not ITK now that I refuse to go to home games.

    Does he work for eBay? That's the only way I see the club getting sold at the moment.

    Didn't Pearson do the same thing, Bartlett needed it gone and the Allams wanted to buy. He just did a bit of 'networking' and bingo we are were we are

    I don't mind messaging anyone that's been a member on here for a while, just so long as any names aren't dropped for obvious reasons.

    It's no way near to being a completed deal, but for me at this stage of the Allams tenure I'd take nearly anyone, so the glimmer of anything other than them is good news IMO

    Feel free to share the message I'm sending to BumCC, Happy and Chaz, just don't post it please.


    PS If I am right do I get mucho pats on the back?? <cheers>

    Could you PM me also? I'm interested to see if the guy sitting in on the meetings is the same guy I spoke to last year who said something similar (which I quickly dismissed as bollocks as he was a bit pissed in Lounge - if it turns out to be the same guy then maybe I'll get him a beer and say sorry for repeatedly saying "bollocks" and "don't talk ****" to him in a Ricky Gervais/Karl Pilkington way.)
