I’m not saying everything Smug posts is fact - I have no idea (not saying he’s making it up either) - but it appears you take the statements of two people who are essentially capitalist investors with a lot to lose /gain financially, who happen to be our owners, as fact. Don’t you think alternative news sources are sometimes useful and interesting and offer a different perspective?

In some cases I would agree but in this particular case I know for a fact that unsubstantiated rumours across social media were driving the club to distraction during a very difficult time.

I understand that they were particularly concerned about statements that the deal was done when in fact it was never done and discussions were still very delicate.

The only reason I posted on here in the first place was as a concerned fan of the club and I could see what was happening.

It's pretty clear from the club's statement that my concerns were accurate.

Mate, you seem to have a rather unhealthy obsession with Smugs posts.

Can I ask why?

I offered to converse openly, on the forum, with me if he reveals that and who he is on RTG.

He just bullshits tbh.

He blames me for the rumours affecting the club but doesn't make the same accusations to anyone on RTG.

It appears my posts hit a nerve with someone.

Mate I would suggest popping outside and enjoying the world, maybe go talk to your real life friends, but don't become a creepy message board stalker.

It's not a great look

Considering you prided yourself in being the main source of 'ITK' information both on here and previously on RTG I think my question is quite reasonable.

You said you were meeting Mr Methven at the last match.

Did you meet and did you ask him for his comments about unsubstantiated message board rumours and the effect it was having on the club as I politely suggested?

I’m assuming you know the answer to the question raised, and that your rhetorical questions are designed to make a point not just to riv, who, btw, probably posted in good faith to start with, and then got a little carried away having no regard to whether they were damaging or indeed enhancing the prospects of a successful deal, but to anyone who feels it appropriate to divulge confidential information to the general public?

I didn't know him from Adam but his user name came up in conversation.

It was not complimentary.

So why follow him onto a message board?

Im sure you can find him at most away games and probably at home games as well.

Honestly mate, what is the point?

That could go either way though. Maybe it adds pressure to SD get the deal done so as a concerned fan it could help. Maybe SD isn’t doing the deal cos they’re rightly questioning his strategy, input, demands. We don’t know. Either way scrutiny and clarity over the fans expectations aren’t a bad thing. Bringing them to the game, and introducing them to the manager were what triggered off my expectation. I don’t hate the guy, I don’t think he’s been disrespectful to us but ultimately my belief is that his intention is to make a few quid now and a few quid further on not make us premier league competitors so I’d like him to know there is pressure to get us into a better place than he can offer even if he makes a few less millions. I’m not brown nosing smug here more questioning why as a fan like me you would want to defend Donald to the hilt potentially ahead of a better future for our club. Do we have to say ‘thank you Stewart’ when he is ultimately making a good few bob?
