FPP to take full control

[Smug in Boots]

I didn't say you were lying though. I even said that you passed the info on in good faith.

I deliberately made sure of all that. What annoyed me yesterday was when on friday you 'turned' and made out that I was less of a fan because I don't believe FPP are looking to buy a majority stake right now, or don't believe that they ever tried to before doing the loan to buy.



That's the thing mate, I don't disagree with any of this. They have an interest in us, they probably do hope they one day buy us because we're doing well. All of that is exactly what I'm saying, in fact it's also what you're saying when you talk about the loan.

I'm not disagreeing with any of that. I'm saying that there a bunch of people blaming Donald for not selling to them, when it's definitely possible, if not probable, that he was telling the truth when he said they hadn't made a bid to take a majority shareholding rather than a convertible loan.

I'm not reading any more of your biased essays, no offence.

You made a promise to stop jumping on my posts yet, on Wednesday, you did just that.

You've made your point ...

... Donald blurted out that there were new owners in a panic, introduced them to Ross by mistake and that all the evidence of a takeover is just in the minds of gullible dopes like myself.

You have no interest in other threads about the club, Tees struggles. Sombreros new granddaughter, Conspiracys family, Becs financial situation, etc ...


... it's just your miserable agenda where you dismiss anything and everything that doesn't suit.

Just give it a rest man.

 

[Smug in Boots]

Well then why would he say that he didn’t know if the wanted him or not.

You can’t ignore that

Irrelevant and again, just can't resist being nasty because we disagree.

I am not ignoring it. I just don't think an off hand comment like that is as meaningful as some people think.

The thing is lads, I'm just also stating what I see, with no bias towards either outcome. I want FPP to take over, but I think the deal they did is the right one for them and a good one for us if we get there. I'm not sure there was a magic wand that could be waved to get them to do another deal.

I'm being nasty because you're a condescending know it all who dismisses any evidence that goes against your agenda.

You promised the board you'd stop jumping on my posts but you just can't stop yourself.

I get regular pms, from people, thanking me for my posts and how they keep their spirits up.

Believe me pal, I've had dozens of miserable specimens like you in the past ...

... don't fool yersel that you're any better or that calling people 'lads' at this stage will help.

It just comes across as patronising as usual.

Yeah, everything that doesn't suit your agenda is irrelevant ...

... yes, I get it.

I have a lot of respect for you but think you are being harsh on Kittens.

He might be a know it all, might tie himself in knots at times but he seems decent.

Grumpy buys and sells him in my opinion, but he sticks in there, doggedly!

 

[rooch 3]

Nowt wrong with kittens I just wish he would learn short hand

 

[Kittenmittons]

Blimey. No comment on those smug posts, they speak for themselves.

Point taken on being concise @rooch 3

That's fair enough mate, I can see why you might think that.

I'm afraid I'm applying the principle that I've brought my sons up with.

It's not exactly the theory of relativity but it's basically that 'for every unreasonable and adverse action is a totally unreasonable reaction'

Namely that while ever people are equally respectful I'll continue to be polite ...

... but as soon as someone starts to work their ticket, and patronise me, I'll respond in kind.

Grumpy wipes the floor with him so he responds by attacking what he thinks is a soft target on here ...

... and throws his toys around when people don't bow down to his enormous intellect.

The bloke promised he'd stop jumping on my posts, and having a pop, but just can't resist.

I'll promise you £100, to whatever charity you nominate, that I won't do the same ...

... that's not too harsh is it?

The only thing that matters is wether or not they actually take over. All I have read on here is guesswork and speculation which is fine but when that guesswork and speculation is attempted to be posted as fact that’s when it becomes tiresome.
The mags are on the cusp of what seems an exciting new dawn whilst we are stuck with a man who’s heart seems to be in right place but without the clout to make it count.
Never has the gap between us and Newcastle been so big and it’s extremely depressing. Our fans deserve more.

It's very depressing at the moment to the point where I have little to no interest in football, the worry being if an fpp takeover is reliant on promotion I cannot see the current set up being capable of achieving it in the foreseeable future

That's just pessimistic guesswork mate, KTF.

The reality is that FPP could own the club tomorrow if Donald gave the word.

I would never have dreamed the day would come when I would feel that way I used to be broken for a week after a defeat now it’s like 3 seconds.

It is a chore sometimes supporting the lads but we are suckers for punishment lol

If I'm being honest I havent missed football in the slightest since it's been stopped. As soon as it starts back up though will be like it never stopped and back to normal disappointing weekends

It’s crap mate, no two ways about it.
Sadly I think this whole FPP thing is pie in the sky now. We’ve had our in the knows across various forums getting themselves all giddy based on very little and here we still are.
We needed to bounce back and quickly but we are a big club with a league 1 squad. It’s going to take investors with very deep pockets to give us fans the side our support warrants.

Based on more than your assertion that it's all pie in the sky imo.

Aren't FPP currently the biggest investors who the current club owner just said may become more involved?

They may become more involved, they may not. At present they have been hanging around for months yet still haven’t managed to usurp small fry like Donald. Whatever their involvement it appears they aren’t going to be the knights in shining armour we all hoped for.

They could be the new owners tomorrow if Donald gives up.

Has anyone said they're trying to usurp Donald ...

... I've seen no such assertion.

What appears to be, on the surface, may turn out to be entirely different.

Fair enough. He does go on a bit so tbh I haven't read everything posted.
If he/she has treated you with a lack of respect then respond as you feel fit.
Kittens seems OK to me in comparison to some if the other idiots you have to deal with, although doesn't let things lie which is irritating and entertaining at same time.
