Initially I thought RR had just jumped on the hype to get some easy clicks, but when they talk about it not being an ineos investment but a personal one it’s obvious they’ve been tipped off
Hope it’s correct but I feel everyone is jumping the gun on this.
 
Well, there's detail on Ineos, their previous sporting ventures and their environmental liabilities but precious little detail on the bid.
Just waffle from 5 minutes on the net
It literally says it will be a personal investment and not the company

It says "it is to be assumed that". So they're making assumptions rather than stating any facts.

And then they padded out the rest of the article with (apparently immaterial) stuff about the company and nothing about the deal.

I'm not saying it's not true but you can't point to that article and say it must be true because it's so detailed.
 
Have them two twats left yet?
This is all I am interested in.

I really don't care about rumours concerning who might buy all or part of the Club and all that carry on. That will happen if & when it happens.

Simply seeing the back of those two would be enough for me. I always counted on that when we got back to the Championship it would be just a matter of time before they slung their hooks. Their stewardship has been an absolute disaster for this Club and its more than clear no one wants them around.

Like many others I am just counting the days.
 
I'm guessing because of the smoke and mirrors invoked around dumb and dumber's takeover. Then we had the Dell Boys coming in only to still be left with Del Boy and Rodney but saddled with some new debt. Even when they sold out they hadn't really and KLD employed Penn and Teller to explain the transaction to fans. Its Sunderland mate.
I was taking the piss marra.

He said “question everything” so I asked “why?” :lol:

Excellent. I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic but I missed the joke still.

It doesn't even "literally" say what this lad claims, it says "assumed to be"

I dont know what you were told marra, but if they said JR lives in Switzerland, that's absolutely wrong for a start!

Correct
Jim Ratcliffe, John Reece and Andy Currie all have houses in Switzerland - all nearby each other in Vaud. They also have homes in the UK and Monaco and last I heard were resident in Monaco.
Ineos owns Lausanne FC and Nice. Add in KLDs Swiss base and his families football history - his mother still owns 5% of Marseille - plus Sartoris wife owns 2/3 of Monaco FC. Seems to all make sense - which doesn’t necessarily make it true of course.

Excellent post.

It may not be true but these are obviously people obviously interested in football.

That's a good start.
