fair enough. But you aren’t alone.

ive not slagged him for the record like. He’s provided some canny entertainment and excitement even if his source (which is clearly genuine) is seemingly semi reliable with info. But people are defending him like some damsel in distress and same for GOM

It was Grumpy old man who said the deal is 99% done, not Reiver. Would you care to apologise for being wrong and misquoting Reiver yet again?

And that is a matter of opinion based on what my assessment of the information Reiver's been given. I've actually posted very little concrete information, and what I have has come from sources who ought to know. Principally confirming the identity of the firm conducting due diligence, and the date on which I was told it was scheduled to complete. Most of the time, I've been passing on stuff that Reiver wants to put out, but can't because he's been banned. I do state my opinions on what I believe to be happening; if people choose to interpret that as fact, then clearly I need to tighten up my writing style, as I'm obviously not distinguishing clearly enough between the very little hard fact I have, the information I'm passing on from Reiver, and my considered assessment of what's happening. For this my reward is character assassination. Thanks a bunch.

Or it could be done but the announcement is being delayed for reasons we can only guess .

but then again that brings GOM posts into question today (which are coming from reiver). GOM himself said 99% just today.

not having a go at him or reiver for clarity - just saying what we are pinning our hopes on may not be correct!

I don't think we can. It's not just the manager is it?

It’s the manager and two coaches. Possibly the goalie coach, but he wasn’t initially part of Ross’s team, and we’ve held onto them in the past through different managers.

You can either afford a manager or you can’t, and that includes whether you can afford to sack him and his coaches. I can’t believe that Donald would appoint someone he couldn’t afford to get rid of. Goes against everything he’s done at the club.

Only by the hard of thinking, the vast majority of us can understand

I don't think we can. I also think the finances aren't as rosey as Mr Donald makes out.
