    I don't know Bob from Adam but looking as an outsider who has viewed his posts for the last couple of years
    He obviously knows people and gets info but He is so obsessed with name dropping and wanting to be seen as a Billy big bollox that he doesn't even question the info he posts Which is often contradictory and often just wrong
    He spend the first few months of this year claiming the FPP loan had been paid off and they had nothing to do with the club
    Looks to me that more often than not he's just being played by the people he thinks are his mates.

    Of course this is just my opinion from viewing his posts and I could well be wrong but he'd get much more credibility if he just posted his info
    Stopped attention seeking with his cryptic posts and his I know stuff but can't possibly tell you also stopped having a hissy fit if anyone dares to put forward an alternative view.

    And while I'm on he needs to stop blaming the fans for driving away investors that's just bloody pathetic.

    Attacking decent supporters for questioning the statement that the loan had been repaid was the last straw for me.

    It's one thing to report what you've been told but, unless you have proof, it's not right to abuse people for asking questions.

    There seems to be an unhealthy percentage of posters on RTG who would rather @Magnus and @Smug in Boots were proved wrong
    Than FPP actually launch a successful takeover of the club.

    Without doubt, it's sad but also indicative of modern culture.

    seems we are at the 'who has biggest gonads' phase in regards to ownership/shares/take-over...SD appears to be calling some bluffs by appearing 'not really bothered' as he knows IF promotion is gained then his price looks much more realistic...potential buyers appear to be double bluffing knowing he will be losing cash on a weekly basis and holding back for their valuation.

    there are still many ways this could play out, firstly and most welcomed by fans would be SD cracks and takes first decent offer, licks his wounds and starts over again...potential buyers ramp up the pressure by being quite happy to wait, not great as fans will consider there are no deals in the offing...potential buyers could simply walk away (really bad scenario), running a football club is rarely a profitable venture so why take the stress?...FPP decide to call in their loan (worst possible scenario?) because SD is pissing them right off with his 'billy big balls' stance, they do not 'need' the club or the money but SD does, they take their loan and walk the club could be screwed for a damn long time yet.

    of course, all that is actually happening at the club is just the normal run of such things in the normal time line expected and in a couple of weeks or months we can all breathe a sigh of relief, no one is actually playing 'billy big balls' and everyone is friendly and agreeing with each other and every single thing we have heard or read or speculated on is all bollox...oh how we will all laugh...

    In my opinion it reminds me of when Donald took over, he played it down and then 2-3 weeks later he took over

    Some of them are absolutely desperate to be right.

    They're like the Mags who were posting when the Saudis handed over the £17m deposit but have now vanished. If FPP take over they'll not be seen.

    If someone else takes over I'll celebrate, get behind them, support my club and keep on posting ...

    ... just as I've always done.

    Is he? That's vague as hell that tweet. Could just be announcing a new sponsorship in the sports world? Could be a rich energy board at West Ham's stadium?

    No, just because NB said end of August....theres no set time frame for stuff like this. I'd liken it to buying a house, your given a date by the seller, estate agent. Then the Lawyers get involved!!!
