Where have I said I want him to reveal his source???

I don’t care what he or anyone else does.. it’s a simple fact that till he’s does, some people will be sceptical

It's also a simple fact that you're guessing at whats happening.

You state that CM is back hands on but can't say what he's doing.
You state that the takeover is non existent despite numerous others giving information to the opposite.
You state that you've never wanted Barnes to reveal his source yet it's in the quote above as i type this.

Now, using your own words do you agree that being the only person stating as fact that there is no takeover going on that until you reveal your "source" (not the voices in your head) some, if not most people will be sceptical?

again you are picking and choosing what you want to hear/read.. there’s always ‘talks’ as the clubs been for sale since SD walked through the door. But a simple enquiry from some foreign business man compared to a deal being passed to the EFL are on very different parts of the scale

No, I'm responding directly to what you're claiming.

If you don't want a response don't say it or accept the principles of a discussion forum.

You're Kittens, absolutely no question.

NB’s hasn’t gone down this route because of social media posts he’s read. He’s fine this because I’m assuming his source comes from the top (SD). But as I’ve said I still wouldn’t believe a word of it. What DD can he do on his own? He spoke to a solicitor friend who said, I’m gathering in his opinion, that Covid could delay things... it was also the opinions on Twitter by some accounts that the accounts were denuded purely because of Covid, despite it transpiring they were signed off in Jan...

What DD could NB’s of done to confirm what he’s being told??? He doesn’t know who the ‘potential’ owners are, he’s just getting the info SD chooses to give him

so open to anyone, what DD could NB’s have done to back is source up???

I've got a simple choice here. I can believe Barnes and other posters or I can believe you. Barnes has a profesional reputation to consider and other posters like Smug and Prehab have a long history of posting, know lads and lasses off the board, neither one are attention seekers and both have dropped info in the past.

You, on the other hand...well let's just say on the balance of probability, you lose.

I haven’t

Again, read the context of the reply

itv was implied that the info has been on here and RTG for months

I haven’t been on either site ‘for months’ as I didn’t look at either in much detail till Magnus post the % and there seemed to be conflicting voters between the two groups and I’ve started paying more attention

This squabbling is getting a bit boring now. There's no need to discredit NQD - that will hopefully take care of itself in the next fortnight.

Agree. Not sure why people need to try an pick fault with what I’m saying as it disagrees with their opinion/view/narrative. If you don’t like something, simply ignore
