He was told so. He relayed that information. Unfortunately he isn't able to defend himself.
I'm not having a go at him as such, just saying I can understand the frustration of certain people. He was sold duff information it seems and a lot of people have built their hopes up on the back of that.
 

I fell for nothing. Right i'll explain this again. Please try and understand it so I don't have to waste time telling you a thousand times with you still giving the same pointless reply.

I believed, still do, that he posted in good faith and wasn't trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. He relayed information he believed to be solid and true. I know the bloke and I know he wouldn't bullshit.
And if you understand the difference between ‘this is what I’ve been told ‘ and ‘this is my opinion ‘ you’ve got half a chance but some fuckers prefer character assassination.
 
He gets some shite mind, reading that I reckon it’s close to being done like.
Well what we know from him and life is that they’ve agreed a price, they’re happy with the books and the financial position of the club, they’ve registered a company for purchase, they’ve been to the club at least once, they’ve put time, money and activity into a potential purchase, it’s above 50/50 that they’ll buy it, it’ll take 1-2 weeks and they all love Huevos Rancheros. Things seems pretty positive to me.

I said he’s posted in good faith

But it wasn’t true

Don’t believe that a bloke on a message board has inside knowledge

The way people went on that thread was mad

There’s a reason people don’t believe tip offs n wanna wait till it’s actually done in official channels you know.
 
With so many reputable outlets reporting that it's pretty much done over the last few weeks, begs the question why the club didn't take action to quash the rumours.

Surely they could see that fans have had their Hope's raised through the ceiling? Will be a hammer blow to the fan base if it doesn't happen now.
 
We're all frustrated mate, I just don't see the need for a scapegoat who has been genuine with his intentions
You're always going to get that, unfortunately, especially in this social media age. I suppose I admire his putting his head above the parapet but perhaps it's time to duck it back down.
 
It might also sound like it’s telling the doom merchants to fuck off.
It really doesn’t though. Summits happened in the last 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago they were registering a company, people were printing t shirts and the mood was very positive. Now we have the owner saying nothing is done. Maybe there has been a last minute snag and who knows how it will play out.

Nothing to admire, he got told someit, he posted it, it wasn’t true.
 
Why vilify Phil, then? He's raising a valid point and I can understand his annoyance. Rightly or wrongly Reiver has led a lot of people on and I'm surprised he's not getting more backlash to be honest. I can remember a similar blind clamour to believe Dennis Longhorn at one time and it turned out he was full of shit.

if people are so dedicated to hanging onto the every word of an online poster rather than just take it as a bit of fun and games then they should probably look a bit closer to home than the person posting the info. Take what people post with a pinch of salt and just go with the flow. If it doesn’t materialise exactly as has been said then so what?

unless someone has insinuated that someone has kicked the bucket when they haven’t and there’s not even an ounce of truth in it....that warrants a pile on :lol:
