    when he sends his first email to Robinson advising him to buy a new Quarter Back & to make more use of the dee-fence in the end zone...

    Had to skip the last 10 pages to catch up with the thread. Anything actually happening or can I put the party poppers away?

    Nowt has happened. Douch has turned up again to see if he can wind either Henry or The Airman up.

    hope it's true but my source says it isn't and he is party to the inner sanctum - im not the one who has people wound up about a takeover although I appreciate the likes of airman and Irving hate the thought that somebody knows more than them which is quite amusing

    @DOUCHER out of interest mate, what exactly was it that your source said 'isn't true' ?

    Rumours RD is prepared to sell / the club is up for sale? That there is buying interest? DD process being undertaken / has concluded? Post-DD negotiation is taking place?

    What isn't true ? My reading of when you posted this was a generic 'there's nothing happening and all these rumours are a load of bull', which may well be the case, but I'm interested in being clear whether that was what your source was saying. Cheers
    My source has told a family member of mine (who happens to be a long standing supporter and somebody who has done a lot over the years to help the club in times of trouble, not a 'Beard' as Henry so condescendingly puts it - but that's his way so lets leave it at that), I think the words were 'it's a non story and nothing is happening'. I would no more make that up than any of those who are saying it is happening. I've offered that info up to the board and got a bit of abuse for it probably because people think I have an agenda - I don't and never have had. If you say something that goes against the grain you are accused of being a WUM - that's fine but probably isn't conducive to people coming on here and offering up what might be seen as unwanted information.
    Ok @DOUCHER thanks for coming back. I don't know who your source is but I have a suspicion from what you say what avenue it may come down. If that is the case, from past experience being 'economical with the truth' is not something that would surprise me.

    I’m best mates with Phil and can categorically tell you it’s not happening but he does tell a few porkies now and again.
    Phil is friends with a member of my family - who has been known to fabricate the truth....Not always though, he did tell the truth once back in 1996 (at least I think he did) As things stand it may happen but not for certain. I would say it’s 99% certain.......maybe

    I think it's a fair point. You have given your view and perhaps getting unfair criticism.

    What I would say based on what I have read, is that your info is wrong. Maybe people here should just accept your source is wrong rather than assume your winding people up, but I certainly think something is going on.
    my source wouldn't be wrong - there's an outside chance he may be lying
    or I should say, 'being conservative with the truth'

    or under a NDA.

    If you want to know about not telling the truth when all around you know something's going on all you have to do is look at Nixon. Watergate was his downfall because he lied. The truth was there & was going to come out in the end but he lied from the start. I have no idea if anything is going on or not. I know no-one at the club or have any inside info, but I trust others who DO have contacts & who know those inside the club & others that are well connected. Too many things stack up to say that something is going on - and if you know anything about Airman Brown you know that he has the best interest of the club at heart & wouldn't just be making up stories just to sell issues of VOTT.

    You're just winding me up now....


  • I have no knowledge, inside or otherwise, of the current state of affairs regarding the ownership of the club.

    However, if a sale is imminent/forthcoming I wouldn't put it past Two Shats and Daisy to delay a sale until after the Pompey game so as to avoid a major celebration on our "holy" day.

    Even in their retreat they would want to piss on our parade.

    They wouldn't want a "Back to The Valley" day with a dual meaning: celebrating the 25th anniversary of the end of the club's exile and the fans celebrating the end of their self-imposed exile under his ownership.

    So your source must be RD, that's the only person who could possibly know, 100%.
    If it's somebody lying then maybe it's Meire. She has form.
    That's a terrible thing to say.

    Do you have evidence that he can't possibly be wrong?
    What sort of evidence? I'm no Poirot, but I'm very confident in that statement.
    The sort of evidence you wanted from Airman would do.
    I haven't seen any evidence - I was asking if Airman had or whether it was just verbal - I'm none the wiser on that score
    and btw - it wasn't me that started a thread that has lasted 130 pages so I don't think it was an unfair question
    Nor did Airman, but, y'know.
    And my question wasn't addressed to airman y'know
