    Depends. If all the info was coming from the same source, yes, but if multiple sources are providing information, no. Doesn't mean the info is duff imo, just means that different parties are providing it.

    I knocked myself out replying to posts and pms, then was called worse than shyte ...
    ... there are nuggets on RTG still doing that a few minutes ago and I don't post there anymore ffs
    <laugh>

    FWIW I'm not posting 'teasers' now, just displaying my optimism based on what I've been told.

    I'm also being told about two different bids, plus hints about a third ....

    ... if people want to take that as I'm 'covering all bases' that's their choice.

    If I wanted attention, as some on RTG are claiming, I'd post more than the few things I have.

    I don't want attention, I'm just another supporter.

    The majority of us appreciate the snippets you ( and others) provide and take it for what it is.... a rumour on a message board. It may be ‘inside’ information but until it becomes fact that’s all it is. If you choose to believe it 100%, then great, if you decide not to believe it then fine, if you think ‘there might be something in this’ then just sit back and see how it develops! That’s how I look at it and probably the majority of others do too.
    So - keep it up, the silent majority are with you!

    If someone mentions two different bids, and one is successful, some people will claim they were wrong and some will claim they were right.

    I'm not interested in being right but some weirdos hope I'm wrong even if it means it's worse for the club.

    As you say nothing is a fact until the contract is signed, what I'm posting is just words I've been told.

    I see Kittenmittens is over the road doing a forensic examination of every piece of information.
    There's one I don't miss.
    All I want is someone to give me hope that something good is happening.
    The details can wait.

    I don't post much in here, but do read what's been posted regularly. I know Prehab26 away from message boards and have done for a good few years. The one thing he isn't is a bullshitter and am far from surprised that he knows a few bits of what's going on.

    Let me try to give you an idea of the problem by choosing my words carefully.

    There's a loan in place which a buyer, other than the lender, would have to pay back and negotiate the repayment penalties.

    This 'buyer' wants things resolved quickly but the lender is in no rush.

    If the lender delays the owner may be forced to take a much lower offer to get out.

    That's what is delaying things imo so a timescale is impossible to predict.

    Edit: Forgot to mention the lender may also be wanting a collaboration, with the buyer, on favourable terms. Again they're in the driving seat with negotiations.

    Thanks for the info fella and keep up the good work. Try to ignore the bitter element of our fanbase.

    I thought it a bit strange the way he went on mind. Absoloutely adamant (see what I did there) that no way that FFP were taking over like.

    I'll give Prehab the benefit of the doubt tbf. Crossed swords with him for being a bit cryptic years back when I posted over there but he's always popped up with bits of info, some of which came off, some didn't. But there's no doubt he's a MLF and he way would he be bullshitting other fans imo.

    Dynamite info is one thing but until your ‘it’s happening it’s happening ****in hell it’s happening’ post sees the light of day again I’ll stay calm. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    From what we know ie DD not being a problem and the buyers seem to know the club, along with what smug is saying it seems to me that FPP are trying to buy out Donald as he's toast with the fans and start again ...plus a couple of new friends included.
