To be fair, internationally succesful businessmen investing a fortune into a community halfway round the world and a club for no financial return makes no sense, so it's understandable people will question it.

Ultimately, nobody knows their actual plans for the club, apart from them.

Tell me about it.

I am gravely concerned about the fact that time and time again reports say it will happen on x and time and time again x passes by.

If I said I was going to do something on Monday and then don't do it and say I will now do it on Friday and Friday comes and goes and it doesn't happen people would have a right to feel let down. Yet I am not.

People on here mistake a feeling of being let down for gloom.

You're not being 'let down'.

People are speculating or passing on second hand info which can't be considered concrete or binding.

Telling yourself that what you're reading in here is a 'definite fact' and you're being let down is frankly madness.

you obviously were not around when certain posters put that theory to the test...they started a rumour on here about the club being after a player and within days it was being reported by every major sports source as gospel, may be wrong but seem to recall sky sports news reporting it...the names escape me now but i am sure those with better memories could fill in the blanks.

Was that not the Jan Koller link that was totally fabricated and made up bollocks by a few on here ??

I started a thread saying we should sign Dembele from Tottenham when we had Advocaat and a few days later it was on SSN that we had shown interest. Not saying I was responsible but it's just spreading rumours and fake news. Not just football as well now with Twitter etc.
