There is supply chain panic right now - I can assure you! The virus coinciding with the Chinese New Year shutdown is equally as bad for the supply chain as it is for controlling the spread of it.

And the reduction in manufacturing is leading to a big reduction in oil use to the extent that OPEC are considering cutting production

I remember that happening - I also remember him talking about being pulled as a Mod on RTG, but I can't remember him losing his Mod status over there.

I have never understood what RTG hope to achieve by their moderation policy (if they do have one and don't just flip a coin). They have been told endless times by numerous posters (me included) that it is better to take a screenshot and show people what they are being warned or banned for so posters can avoid doing that again. It is almost as if they enjoy unaccountable and arbitrary use of power on a personal level in support of their own agenda and on behalf of their own clique.

RTG has been ruined by Mods and is but a shadow of what it used to be.

I've had a big misunderstanding with @Smug in Boots on here, but he has always been clear to identify what is a genuine ITK tip-off, what is his opinion based around said tip-offs and what is his own prognostication based on his own supposition about what appears to be going on.

I genuinely am mystified by people who accuse Smug of being a narcissist, of lying or changing his story because I have never seen anything of the sort. It is no wonder he gets all defensive and jumps down certain poster's throat!

I appreciate Smug keeping us updated with details of the, ahem, investment-cum-takeover, but I am truely bemused by the whole shebang!

No mate, I was banned for 3 months by Pancho for 'making homophobic posts' ....

... absolute nonsense.

Even if I was a rampant homophobe there's no way I'd be stupid enough to post homophobic comments.

After the three months I went back on, to ask him what these comments were, and was almost immediately banned despite taking care to be polite, reasonable and honest.

You have to remember this is the Mod who set up an account on here to stalk me and threaten me with legal action from the club <laugh>

I read your posts on there that got you banned- couldn't help feeling they were posts of convenience that you knew could get you hammer - after all the heat was intense given the itk posts you had built up - I dont blame you like and know you are genuine but you are too smart to know posts on the topic of that gay rugger player would get backs up - no offense.

There'd be a few people gutted that I was right all along ...

.... I wouldn't be pleased to be right, just pleased for the club and all the decent supporters.

Everyone wants change marra- more to the point I question fpp now- why would they be good owners? They aren't Dell and have never ran a club

The last thing I wanted was a ban mate, believe me.

I'd have to question how screwed up the world has become if posting about a gay rugby player gets people's backs up.

Seriously, why would it?

Are you suggesting gays should be treated differently to everyone else?

I think the most important thing that they bring to the table is there business sense and drive to succeed. You don't get where they are without both.

They will aslo know that the key to success is getting the right people in the right roles, something we've been sadly lacking for a very long time.

If they takeover they won't want to fail as it could tarnish their reputation amongst their peers. If they take us over and build a profitable, sustainable and succesful club then we'd all be happy.

Indeed we would but there's not many of them about - would be great if we achieved it though. It might be nice to have owners who'd pump enough cash in to get us to the top of the Prem but I guess they've already pulled up that drawbridge

Reading the last few posts really puts the cherry on the top of why pure football is ****. Far to many divas now power fighting for popularity over the most mundane ****. You have people like Hank who thinks he is delivering a national service, Riv acting like a child (ffs man cmon) Chunky lover who demands attention. **** sake what happened to the days of Daddyo and Garydon, even a post miserable twat Joe public.

The forum got far to popular with the club's rise into the premiership bringing bigger trolls than your local Javis or Toon Toon. Now we're left with absolute tits like spug, Frijj and I calamity of dreadful mods. Bring back mackem angel who took no ****!!!!

Grow up you fannies and have a bit of crack once again.

Don’t know what you are spouting off about

You need to read posts not make assumptions to fit your sound bites.
I didn't say he had spent £9m in a month
I said that in my opinion it was being used for the day to day running of the club
That's my opinion. Your opinion is he took the loan and is sitting on it
Time will tell

I didn't make assumptions at all. You said he needs to account for a £9m loan when he sells the club, which is likely very soon. That implies he doesn't have it now.
