According to statements on here, it was the American consortium who walked away - triggered by the Allams showing them the price-hike door . 6 of 1 etc
Still no statement from the club as to what is going on with the takeover thought a statement was supposed to be released today
Was it one of the two people SydneyTiger think have inside info who works st RH or someone not in the know?
Until Burnsey comes on Blunderside, out of breath and interrupting Golum's RL digest to tell us the breaking news that City have been purchased by a Yank with deep pockets, I'll believe it for sure...In the interim I'll reserve judgement...
Are you sure? OLM poured scorn on Burnsy because his "source" is James Mooney, but we don't know who OLM is using for his info. However, think on this:- If OLM's source is the real deal then he is either in the Americans camp (unlikely) in which case he is going to put an anti Allam slant on information he passes on, or he is in the Allam camp in which case he is displaying an increadible level of disloyalty and is therefore going to put an anti Allam slant on anything he reveals. Either way he is in breach of the confidentiality agreement and is therefore probably not trustworthy. On top of that he will obviously be aware of the fact that OLM is in the Anti Allam camp and will therefore be putting an Anti Allam slant on things to curry favour. Probably genuine "Chinese Whispers". I'd be more trusting if the info was first hand from OLM.
I know that I am not in the know. But I also know that some people might think they're in the know when they're not in the know. It's best to listen to those you know are definitely in the know as opposed to those who say are in the know but you know are not in the know. That's made my position clear.
I always rely on Donald Rumsfeld at times like this: 'Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.'
Finally someone talking sense! Fact is nobody bar those directly involved in the deals ( allams/Americans and both parties legal teams ) know any real details, and if anyone things any of the people directly involved are going to pass any of that info on to someone who is well known to post on message boards.........
I read it as Burnsy's source is a good one, OLM even named him as James Mooney the communication and marketing officer for Hull City.
I wasn't pouring scorn on Burnsy, it's perfectly reasonable that he gets his info directly from someone at the club, I was just pointing out that he's only getting what the Allams want him to get.
Which kinda makes my point about the value of "sources". That is to say they usually have their own agenda..
