I'm glad you've got the transcripts, was driving me mad knowing the story that unfolded wasn't how it was originally presented but without going through every single podcast there was no way of proving it.
Like you say, either they've lied from the start or told the truth then lied later down the line. Doesn't paint them in a good light either way.
I'd be more inclined to agree with you given we only have Methven's word from a meeting after they'd told a different story for over a year. But I can't prove that one way or another.
There's been bits and pieces (admittedly on here and on Twitter) from people connected to the other groups who were interested who say the deal SD and CM claim they got wasn't available to them. Plus the £1 Sartori deal. It just doesn't add up.
Haha, no I don't have the transcripts, I have typed the relevant sections (I can type quickly!) whilst listening to them. I did this because it was driving me mad as well.
