No doubt those who are cynical will jump on the ‘ may roll into October/nov ‘ comment. I’ve said it all along, and no disrespect to any itk on here or any other message board. Nick barnes has never started rumours before and is obviously reasonably well educated and understands fans feelings- if he says it’s happening it is.

I’m absolutely with you on this he has not only put his reputation on the line but also his career imho plus he could also get a molten lava balti pie in the bracket <doh> @Nads

Same as Smug etc, we all have people we talk to and are ‘ITK’... this is what I’ve been told and pieces together from a lot of sources. It’s one option but in life there’s many options which could Pan out. But I’m pretty sure this is the main two options Open to SD

I don’t believe (from what I’ve been told) that MG have started any talks. SD is ‘actively’ in talks with no one currently I’m led to believe

The ‘exclusivity period’ is a line fed to Barnes by SD. He’s in talks with now one and Barnes now knows that. SD has even changed phone numbers so Barnes can’t contact him (along with anyone else). When the end of Aug/early sept comes and he’s pushed on the period of exclusivity SD (if he responds) will simply say it was press speculation and he neither confirmed or denied it... sneaky of SD to use Barnes like that

I asked you earlier if your source was credible. Guess not.
 
Yes I would tend to believe a well respected bbc reporter and commentator and MLF over a clownshoe tbh wouldn’t most?

If it comes to who I think has a more credible source or sources, Barnes wins hands down. He's got a lot more riding on what he sticks up on the internet than anyone on a forum does and it certainly don't sound to my camel ears that he's been fed a line.

100% with you mate, the bloke is almost in the gallows
 
Once again, I think this further demonstrates that the information that some are getting is on the money. There is simply no way that serious talks are not taking place and are now indeed progressing. It's all good news.

For the small minority that think it's all an elaborate plan to con us all, come on. Think about how silly that is. It benefits no one, and certain people have been far to insistent that it's ongoing.

Stop talking logically mate, what else can the doom mongers hang their hats on.

Really annoying you aren’t I for some reason. I’ve already stated I believe who I’ve spoke to to be very accurate with a number of things, and I have no doubt on this either. What NB’s says is fine, but until he states his source isn’t SD or one of his cronies, everyone will discredit him as they don’t trust SD. He’s a professional and I’m just a fan. He’s leading with this news (no one else is), he’s reporting the takeover in the media (no one else is).... so I hope for all of our sakes it comes to fruition. I unfortunately still don’t think it will. Obviously people are getting giddy again, and it will be all over here for the next month, but all we can do is wait till NB’s drip feeds us his sources Tid bits here and there. As I said, the lad who told me is pretty accurate, if that changes I’ll believe him, but at the moment it’s still the same. I wouldn’t trust SD or anything he says, so don’t be upset when nothing happens

I understand that it's a source of significant frustration. Timescales and potentials unknowns always will be. Especially when it involves Safc and our club. I would be more concerned if the emotion and passion was not there anymore and it was absolute apathy!

However, it's good that others are getting very similar information to Barnes. I am also very confident in what I have said, majority on the RTG in the early days of this situation. Even when there was a major doubt the other week, I spoke to a couple in real life, to keep cool heads and wait for the weekend update then Barnes got everyone on the hook again.

We just have to be patient.
