Yes precisely. We should all take them as rumours because that's what they are. The trouble is (in this case) people taking them as gospel and adapting the wording to suit their point of view and then criticising AB for something that hasn't happened.Redskin said:Questioning AB isn't simply a case of 'personal narratives/ grievances'. Many moons ago, I questioned him on one of his posts and was called a 'petulant child' even though AB finally admitted that what he had posted amounted to nothing more than 'gossip'.
AB has - I'd imagine - more contacts in the club than most on here, and reports their rumours for our benefit. But until the deal is 'done' they remain nothing more than rumours and people are entitled to question them.
AB has something of a sacred cow status on here, and questioning him or calling him out on his rumours doesn't amount to 'Airman bashing'.
I take any 'ITK' posts with a very large pinch of salt, and wait for the club to officially announce our new owners.
Which is pretty childish.31 -
Never mind all this takeover nonsense, there's a vacant date in the Prediction thread for anyone who hasn't already had a go. Open to all.
It's a February date btw.0 -

Hold on. Thought only a couple of days ago you said the big money men were still in the mix?Redhenry said:Haven't heard anything for a couple of weeks, was told the end of the month so will treat that as the earliest date it will get done, if at all.

Wouldn't normally dig somebody out, but when so many people appear to be hanging on his every word and also considering he is a major cause of the furore on here,I thought it only appropriate to bring it up.kentaddick said:

I was pointing out that it was WhenIwaslittleboy that got the lyrics wrong.
As the Spanish translation of WIOTOS goes,

whatever will be, will be
The takeover will be done by 3.00*

I personally don't think Airman has lied, he has only fed back source information. The "done deal" tweet was the only bit that irritates like immac on your scrote.Greenie Junior said:
No ones saying it’s his fault ffs, I don’t really doubt his intentions, he like so many of us want the club sold. But when you put yourself at the front of the action like rick has, when you make certain claims and they turn up to be wrong I think it’s right that people speak up about it.HarryLime said:
FFS The Airman is just a supporter like the rest of us, he just gives us snippets, on the way he sees things are going. He isn’t actually running the takeover process, it’s not his fault that the takeover hasn’t happened yet. It will happen at some point, but give him a break.Greenie Junior said:
The point is that what you’re saying also isn’t true. You’re slating the club for being a joke for saying ‘nothing was happening’ which was not true, but you’ve said a deal was to be announced within the next week back in October then you said done deal, which, again turned out to be nonsense.Airman Brown said:
Yes, and compare that with the official line until December 28th that nothing was happening and the club was not for sale. Which was more accurate? Yet people still want to rely on the official version of events, which has been a joke since 2013 when Slater denied the club was for sale while documents trying to sell it were being hawked around the City.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Well this was your VOTV in November.......Airman Brown said:
An entirely false statement. Evidence?WhenIwasLittleBoy said:This takeover has been happening "within the next week" since November. Think someones source is not that reliable, as well as until it is officially announced i can't see how people can forecast when this will be concluded.
Were “lawyers working to sell the club” as reported or does anyone seriously think now that wasn’t true?
So am I right in thinking, by the same standards of you saying the clubs a joke, that you are also a joke?
I however believe that RD is currently sitting back and enjoying seeing fans go into meltdown and two bidders jostling to get the best price for both RD and our potential new owners?1 -
It's 100% done
Not ITK but thought i'd take the heat off of AB. Personally grateful that he shares what he hears.23 -

Are they?
Oh they're not are they....0 -
If you want the truth,
Go to Belgium and ask Roland Duchatelet (He has all the answers)
AB was fed second hand gossip, but I grateful for his information at the time.
How can we blame him , the final decision is with Roland.
We should remember that, and not turn on each other and bicker.

Somebody put Roland off his dancing on Friday night. His only moves were a rapid exit out of the Rvue bar.superclive98 said:

"When I was a little bitty boy"
not "When I was little boy"
Hence why James Seed confused your name with "When I was just a girl" which is the first line from another song, the one he adapted.
Happy now?0 -
Here’s some proper gossip for you - a pic from the directors’ box last Tuesday. I have no idea who the guy in the big scarf is or whether he is significant. But I’m guessing he just got a new scarf.
