Sale is close - Barnsey

[The Cabbage]

Is it not Simon Dolan?

Or do you mean the New York Knicks guy?

Really hope it isn’t the worst owner in the NBA, mind

If he does have a real source, there's no way that person wouldn't know/monitor what's then being posted by Magnus. Clearly, by Magnus saying that he'd name the source, you'd have to assume one of two things - either all updates after that comment are just made up bollocks (the source would not be happy about the promise of being named so would immediately stop feeding information) or if you believe the info then the source isn't bothered or worried about any legal implications in being named. The logical option would be that if there's an NDA in place any naming of a leak would be a big risk and therefore updates after that claim are probably not from the source or made up. @Grumpy Old Man what's the typical punishment potential of breaking an NDA of this nature?

I think beyond any legal issues would be that by breaking an NDA they would make themselves almost unhireable in the future.

Could someone please give a brief outline of what's happened today to create a new upswing in feelings.

Nowt new. Another meeting planned tomorrow according to some "itks"

 

[the dude]

I gather by the last couple of pages that something is happening?
Anyone care to give a brief overview? This thread is a nightmare.

Magnus on Not 606 says a deal has been agreed in principle, they are just ironing out a few things.

Which is why I'd typically think that everything that followed his claim would be made up, because he'd no longer have a willing source.

Of course, as a follow-up thought, at the end of the day, he's a faceless, anonymous poster on an internet message board. He can make any claim he wants about naming his source, but he's under no pressure to actually do so if we ever get to the end of this. So it really doesn't put his supposed source in jeopardy realistically speaking. He could just say that to get people onside but tell the source he has no intention of naming them

This is where I think Jones will be invaluable. He will have seen well run and badly run clubs in his day job and might be able to filter out the ‘chancers’.

What, as a TV presenter ?

I think people are over bloody analysing this. Just take it or leave it.

in any course Magnus said that his source said he could disclose as far as I remember

 

[WildinHetton]

See my reply to bernardbresslaw.

Which is where?

 

[Invictus]

What, as a TV presenter ?

Travelling to different grounds, speaking to the staff there, speaking to his guests before and after the broadcast, having a drink with directors and managers after the game.
Loads of opportunity to ‘see what good looks like’ as Charlie boy would say.

Aye he’s got super powers aswell as being able to read a teleprompter

That's what my 2 options are - either it's BS or you believe (taking it or leaving it). Your second line also falls into what I said after that - at the end of the day he can say anything he likes about the source. He can't be held to anything, so you can take it or leave it

He also used to be on Oxfords board.

 

[Scorer]

Can we get a supporter campaign going to give a resounding "fuck off!" to this Storey bellend?

Don't want the covid-denying, dodgy as fuck, fizzy drinks edgelord anywhere near SAFC. Seems the type of person who thinks of themselves as, and projects an image of, being very smart but once you interrogate it for even a minute you realize they're a complete dullard.

Lot of those around at the moment, the fact some are presidents or priministers has emboldened the lower gobshites.

It's a civil matter, not criminal. The person in breach would be liable for any loss caused to the company issuing the NDA which resulted from it.

This Magnus stuff is odd to me. I had a look on the other forum and he almost exclusively posts on takeover threads. One or two posts on the Garbutt thread and one on a Jon McLoughlin thread. 99% of his posts are on the takeover thread. So of all the talk of all things SAFC he's only interested in the takeover threads. I just find that odd. And why on there and not on here, which is by far the biggest SAFC site?

And odder still that he's saying he will reveal his source once it is all done. If that person (the source) is professionally involved in any takeover that could be their career fucked.

I'm sure there will be stuff going on, the club is for sale. But considering Donald reckoned there was no one in the data room a few weeks ago it feels like talk of imminent takeover is very optimistic. And possibly fuelled by bullshit.

But let's face it. You could have said that, I couldn't have said. It's just speculative bollocks, no meat on the bones whatsoever which he will keep repeating in differing guides until eventually someone will sign a deal with Donald and Magnus will say, "Oh, aye...er... that's whee I was on about!"

In other words, cackbabble.

He hasn't been vague tho, he's been oddly specific. Overly so, even. Doesn't make it any more likely to be true mind.
