I remember saying be careful what you wish for with all the anti Bates stuff. Not sure even I thought things could be this bad though!
At the end of the day though, we have literally no control over who buys us. Doesn't matter who we get in as new owners, bates was taking us towards ruin anyway so it makes absolutely no difference. It's not a case of out of the frying pan into the fire, it's more a case of we're already in the fire, might as well take our chances with a potentially different fire. Basically, this "be careful what you wish for" attitude is a pointless, negative attitude that's only purpose is to "be different" in order to get attention. Contribute something constructive or piss off, basically.
Just because you dont agree does not make it negative you obnoxious gimp. It makes it a different opinion to yours, deal with it or ignore it.... simples Last time I looked no one had put you in charge.
Happy days.... In with the questionable or out with the even more questionable....? Must be boring supporting any other club
No, it's actually negative. What good does going around having a go at everyone for believing LUST or for wanting this takeover to go through do? It does no good, it's just attention seeking behaviour.
It is LUST that have been caught out attention seeking and not delivering. You are correct the attention seeking has done no good. If you want to keep on shooting the messenger you carry on. I wont be responding as everything has already been said.
Please list precisely what LUST have failed to deliver, and all examples of where they've been 'caught out attention seeking'. Also explain why you prefer to whine on here when you had the opportunity to put your accusations directly to them on Thursday either face to face or over the web. I think the true answer, interestingly enough, is that you've been caught out attention seeking and failing to deliver. Touche.
LUST are doing exactly what they should. The yare asking GFH to answer some questions. David Haigh seems to be as slippery as Bates. IMO, GFH appear to be a waste of space, and won't be able to generate the money to takeover LUFC. And LUST seem to have noticed this and raised questions before most. That is their role. Unless there are some very thick investors out there who do no due diligence on the company, no investor will touch them, which means they won't have any money to buy our club. Good. Now we just need it to officially fall through and get someone in who does have the club at heart: - ambitious, but not reckless - concentrate on football, not hotels or insurance companies or radio - bring back the fans by reducing tickets and introducing a fan friendly club - build on what we generate, not on quicksand
lets pretend that LUST have been honest and believe for a moment that the claim they made that they introduced the buyer to the club was true. They have introduced the only potless arabs to a bloke who is looking for any excuse to make Lust look stupid. This is just the latest spectacular gaff......Its too daft to make up... As I am no longer a member how would I have had any legitimate voice at the bun fight AGM. DH's statement was the last straw for me.
Did he aim that comment at me? I've no idea, cos the special one is on ignore. But we are not on the same page. I have principles and am not jealous of others who, on my behalf, are trying to do the right thing (while others whinge about doing things right - can you work out the difference?) You're just a petty little oik with hate running through your bones. Didn't mummy love you enough, or did Daddy love you too much?
I see you body swerved my question. What a surprise. Not! By avoiding it, I think you've simple revealed yourself to be guilty of the charge you set yourself - you've been caught out attention-seeking, and failing to deliver. Another fact for someone so bereft of fact - you could have attended the public meeting at 8pm after the AGM, or listened to it online. You still clearly haven't listened to it, preferring to whine about questions that were honestly answered, and making libelous statements on here.
The buyers and seller - the only 2 party's involved in the takeover have issued a joint statement to clarify that 2 3rd party (LUST) that have no business in the takeover have not spoken to the buyers - LUST have said that they have - then LUST backtracked and said that GFH have only been at the table 6 weeks - another lie as GFH have always been at the table - Gary Cooper has been on twitter telling David Haigh that he has a couple of text messages from someone working for GFH - He said in an interview on ITV recently that he was speaking to them every day. Make your mind up GC - How do some of you think this organization is still trustworthy?
I avoided nothing. If you want to know where i or others think LUST failed go knock yourself out reading the old threads going back for 6 months. I gave a new example above and having listened to the recording I heard nothing to convince me that anything other than slippery politician style half truths were being given (thats an opinion BTW). If quoting DH the potential new chairman when he said LUST have had nothing to do with the TO is libelous then LUST should sue hiim. If it makes you feel any better GC is not fat, he is a recovering anorexic.
That is not what he said at all. He is quoted as "As such, neither I nor any employee of GFH Capital has been in discussions with the LUST. This is clear from some of the detail within a recent statement from LUST, notably, how GFH Capital 'has only emerged as potential buyers in the last six weeks.' In truth, GFH Capital has been working with the current Club owners since June." Underlines, bolding added by me. 1. I nor any employee of GFH Capital - leaves agents, representatives, consultants, lawyers, etc. and representatives of other GFH entities as possible contacts. DH clearly chose to limit the possibilities. 2. only emerged as potential buyers in the last six weeks and has been working with the current Club owners since June - in what capacity exactly were GFH Capital working with the club? As agents for a thuird party perhaps? Again, very carefully chosen words. I don't suggest DH is a bad guy, but there are others involved who have proven their character over the last 8 years in Leeds and in Ireland and the Carribean over many more years.
My God, even a Wallie can see through LUST!! Look, the argument against LUST and their behaviour is well documented, so why continue with the same points? LUST have chucked another stone at Haigh following some journalist at Reuters writing that GFH can't fund a bus ticket - how do we know that the journo isn't a Scummer having a bit of fun? Yet, without any proof, GC talks about "money buys clubs, not words"!!! What a first class muppet this GC is, when all he's been doing is aimlessly chucking disproven words about trying to sound clever. The issue with LUST is that they keep bouncing around like a tuneless tuba, changing their stance from story to story, clearly led by whatever appears in the press. As I've advised before, they should put a sock in it until everything is resolved one way or another. A few weeks ago they hung their hat on the GFH peg with pride and claims of involvement in the deal, now they chuck a stone at GFH because of a Reuters story. Hypocrites, and that is not the type you want to represent your voice to the club.
