Threatening to sue supporters before he's even got near buying us is hardly the best approach. The mask has slipped. He needs chased.

I hope he takes them to the cleaners ( if he has a genuine case) . People are entitled to their opinion on him but regardless of whether he can take over the club or not he has caused this football club no harm whatsoever, in fact he has given us quite a bit of publicity and never been negative about the club. It’s embarrassing how annoyed some people are by him. As for the Roker Report i’ve said it from day 1, if they really want to represent the fans then they should be interested in speaking to anyone who claims they are interested in buying the club because it’s of interest to the fans. The problem is Roker Report have acted very disrespectful towards him thinking their opinions shared by all fans but that simply isn’t the case. I hope they haven’t bitten off more than they can chew. What harm would it have done to give him a 30 minute interview? It would be a bit more interesting than an interview with Martin Gray or whoever next they have lined up. Very narrow minded and short sighted from a group of people I’m assuming maybe looking to work or progress in the media industry.
 
It’s a joke with big Willy. My mate reckons it’s genuine and he will be a good fit for us lol. He’s a total clown.

Completely disagree. This is a man who is famous for reneging on his agreement to sponsor Haas, stealing copyrighted logos and for exaggerating his abilities, wealth and success. It negatively contributes to the perception of our club to be associated with a liar and charlatan like him.

And to put that in perspective, if you heard that Peter Ridsdale, Sam Hamman, Ken Bates or

were interested in buying a club, would you think less or more of that club and their status? The answer is 'less'. Rightly or wrongly, if his bid is given credibility, we lose status as a big football club.

Why don’t the club come out and dismiss him and his takeover talk ? It would make him go away

Unfortunately our current owners are much like Storey, in that they like to be as obtuse as possible about their reasons for everything they do. It may be that they're constrained by an NDA, I believe that's plausible, but I also equally believe that all parties (SD, KLD etc) should have a vested interest in making Storey disappear from our radar, so that NDA shouldn't prevent both of them agreeing to shut Storey down.

I suspect they're unsure whether it's benefiting them or not, and they don't want to say something and then wish they hadn't.
 
Been some weird shit happen at this club, but the Storey carnival of bizarreness is right up there with any of it.

Why has he chosen us for his PR pathology?

He's had multiple interviews with media and fans and is yet to say anything of substance, in any of them. The bloke is a charlatan and we need this takeover/redistribution concluded so he can be forgotten about. The fact people are considering him credible is scary enough.

Suspect the owners will be using him as bargaining chip to try and get a better deal out of the french kid.

If that’s the case they are even more f**king stupid than I thought they were. And it’s a very low bar.
