The breaking News thread...

[Lost Leopard Spot]

You ran with it, which I'm sure you'll concede is pretty much the same as I said, just alter "that Iles was" to "about what Iles had twittered about"...

Eh? Iles didn't tweet about it. Someone sent it to him. It was nothing to do with Iles, other than he received a tweet with that being mused.

That's not the impression you gave me, which is entirely what my beef is about. I'm complaining that you appear to be his (Iles's) PA or spin doctor or something. Every other post is, "according to Iles", "Iles says", etc.
Which is fine if he's some kind of reliable source, but he's not, he's just somebody doing a job quite mediocrely. I've said this once before, if you have opinions then spout them, just don't hide behind some dubious shield of quotations erected from a mythical 'finger on the pulse' source.

So when I said 'someone has just tweeted to Iles....' you didn't get that impression? Well I'm sorry but I can't be held accountable for that.

I got the impression someone had tweeted to Iles and both you and Iles were broadcasting this information... Why else were you broadcasting it? Where had you got this from that you were broadcasting?? FFS, if you weren't interested why did you repeat it, and say it made you think, and then defend it quite vigorously, and use Iles name in all this as a source???

I said someone had tweeted the suggestion to Iles and it had got me thinking. I was speculating and never suggested that it had come from any sort of official source. It was mere musing. I think that was pretty clear.

He did too. On page 74 throwaway had this to say:

BRUCE! ahhhh ahhhh! The saviour of the Wan-der-ers!

(I didn't actually get it at the time )

My black cat being blacker than your black cat, if one went back to page 73 one might find this:

(This morning's unprecedented solar eclipse is no cause for alarm)

a-ah

A full 12 minutes before the insane one broke his Brucie snippet and 13 minutes before throwaway chipped in.

Make of it what you will.

This has all been too simple today. I hereby predict Sports Shield getting shafted in the next ten days.

[bobo the clown]

Any road up ... panic fannies, explain yourselves.

I thought the negotiations had now stopped and the deal done? The sale agreement has been completed, think the next task is to convince the football league that the parties involved are at least as reputable as Thaksin Shinwatra.

nahhh - Deano blew the whole thing apart by going on t'radio... only disaster beckons - and then doom - and then more disaster - then a brief period of utter darkness - then some weeping and gnashing of teeth...

The checks have tightened. You also have to satisfy the football league that you have sufficient resources to keep the club trading for a period of time.

How is it gloom? It means that there should be less doubt over sports shield's ability to fund the club going forward. Which is the very opposite of gloom.

[thebish]

I thought - in suggesting the checks have tightened up in response to worthy's optimism - that you were suggesting that Football League might veto Sports Shield.... would that not be a bit gloomy??

Good job ED did all that "let's see the colour of your money" stuff...That should make it much easier, now they know where it is...

No. I was suggesting that when they pass, it is slightly more substantial a check. Which does not offer guarantees but should at least independently check that sufficient funding is in place.

Or Iles himself! You hadn't thought of that one, had you??

well - I was kinda associating it in my head with your comment earlier today re. this deal:

Any deal would be subject to football league clearance which could take a while and despite popular belief isn't a given.

which does kinda make it sound a bit gloomier to my ears!!

ED talking about the take over.

[thebish]

and - the slightly fuller quote about Lenny..

Davies believes the takeover could have a positive psychological effect on the team’s survival effort and hopes that Neil Lennon is given a chance to lead the team by the new regime.

"He's a good guy, Neil. I like him,” he said on Sky Sports News. “I can't say (he stays) because it's out of my hands but I would vote for Neil to stay, yeah.”

not the gloss we were originally offered!
