Jim White said Andrew Barclay not interested in investing the club, or something along those lines?
wtf?
White has probably taken that from Farnell's tweets to Andrew Barclay after the court case last week
As Airman said though, it sounds like Barclay has gone into those meetings with PE and CF not knowing what exactly he's buying and compared it to buying a car where he doesnt know what car it is or hasnt been given the reg no so he can even do any checks
So the answer is what exactly can Barclay do that he hasnt done?
Painful listening about nothing. Lack of homework on JW’s part, SJ covering old ground and not making the point that of course, everyone should be interested in PE’s net worth or that of the ‘consortium’ behind him to satisfy the investments needed to run a football club and the station has obviously selected a few points raised by the fans interviewed to make them sound like plonkers, when they are not, they are clearly passionate about the club and were there to prove it. Talksport’s edit taking the Makro’s reference into account and probably out of context of a more serious point being made is/was just not helpful.
On the plus side, the fans speaking did nothing to rock tomorrow’s focus on our hugely important game, which is what I feared, based on what has been referenced on here for 24-48 hours.
I think with respect to the people believing that they were going to be allowed to make what they see as sensational revelations on talkSPORT, they are just being naive about the appetite of media organisations for taking legal risks. There wasn't a cart in hell's chance talkSPORT were going to allow them to say anything remotely controversial.
Peter Varney: "We haven't been asked [by talkSPORT] for any comment yet people are speculating about Andrew's involvement. Wouldn't you want to do that to balance the piece?"
PV: "We signed an NDA [non-disclosure agreement] but haven't had a single document. So what did we sign an NDA for? What is the purpose of the NDA?"
PV: "The EFL decision is key because if they are not approved then they are not the people we'll be dealing with. If they are approved we will be dealing with them. It's not our fault the process has taken so long.
PV: "It is not of our making, because the EFL don't want to make a call before the end of the season."
Those 4 Tweets says all that need to be said as far as I'm concerned. Farnell, Elliot, Burke are no different to Southall, small time trying to play with the big boys. Typical Cheshire, the Essex of the North
Perhaps @smiffyboy could make copies of the documents he has available for CAST to review as to their authenticity and the best way to deal with that knowledge without walking into a legal minefield.
To be fair, the CAST Board do have significant experience in not only deciphering documents but have the clout and contacts to release certain details should they believe it helps the situation.

Airman, I appreciate you probably cannot confirm or deny, but do you think there is any substance with regards to smiffyboy's statement the other day? i.e. third party ownership.
Perhaps Talkshite couldn't use what Smiffyboy and Dodger gave them for legal reasons.
If they gave them anything it was obviously unsubstantiated. Most likely still, side notes and hearsay from Southall who is just so desperate to get another payoff.
I accept that Mr Dodger and Mr Smiffyboy are, life most Addicks, truly passionate about the club and they are to be complimented on their efforts. Sadly, though, all today has achieved is to give many people the impression that they have been somewhat naive to put their trust in Jim White, someone who has constantly displayed a complete lack of understanding of what really has been going on at the club.
I was gonna say, bizarre bit of journalism if they’re just presenting one persons story about some one else, without getting a comment from the subject of the story.
So we have Renny & Stimpy George & Mildred,Dastardly & Mutley,Bill & Ben,Starsky & Hutch & another show to add Dodger & Smiffey...n still seems like know one has a fuckin clue...

A lot of hot air (including from that other Henry Irving)

I don't think Dodger & Co would big it up like that if they thought they were going to just get that snippet in.
Shouting at Farnell & Elliot & talking to Talksport outside the ground, where they can edit what they want is obviously not a winning strategy.
A pity, but the fans that could possibly best help appear to get criticism from him, which possibly makes things difficult.
Or could it be more rubbish coming from your mate Lee Amiss?
Time to put up or shut up.

Personally if I had major evidence about wrong doings I’d go to CAST or VoTV and see what happened from there.
