Sorry to hear that James Seed has left, if anyone on here knows him, please tell him that anyone knocking him was in the minority and that the vast majority of us appreciated him passing on any info he had.
He didn’t flounce off, he said he was spending far too much time on here so was taking a break.
This has been mentioned a million times, if someone asks for there account to be closed like James Seed and Elfs that is the only avatar the mods have
Thanks.
I'm surprised that there isn't something like 'No longer a member' - which I've seen on other forums.
I appreciate Seed provided us with some info and was one of the posters on here that was the most active, but can we try and keep this thread about the takeover, rather than people who had news about the takeover. This isn’t aimed at anyone in particular, just trying to draw a line under it. He asked for some time out which we all thought was best. I believe he had the best of intentions when he posted on here but because of the protracted nature of the whole shitfest that is the takeover, things got a little intense and a break was needed. Nothing more than this. Personally I welcome any contributions from whoever if they hear something to add. May be wrong, may be right. As the great HI says, wait until it is on the official site

But for the last sentence, would have been worth a promote.
A great man once said "You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

I just think it’s a real shame that someone has been driven from this board for effectively posting in completely good faith information they have which nobody else could possibly get.
James Seed was ridiculously slated by some because things dragged on. Perhaps they should give thought to the other very credible sources we have that also gave some false hope. Richard Murray, Airman Brown both thought things were very close months ago. I am certain that they thought what was said was true.
None of us know why it’s dragged on but taking our frustrations out on credible posters is bang out of order.
I’m very grateful to anyone posting what they have heard even if it’s not ultimately 100% accurate.
Very well said, and I just want to echo this, and add that just because what he said didn't come to fruition doesn't necessarily mean it was inaccurate, but potentially that others things happened.
I know I've written this before but it bears repeating (not directed at you SHG, just a general thing) he's a bloke, he's not a journalistic institution. It seemed he always passed along what he knew in good faith, but he can't be expected to get independent verification from a diverse set of sources, and that just means he's only as right as his source. And that's ok, and as far as I'm concerned still greaty appreciated.
I think we've all had moments where we feel like we spend too much time on here. A little break never did anyone any harm. Hope he's back soon.

If that’s the case then why not make it a ‘new’ post rather than a response to my post that simply expressed surprise that there isn’t a profile category or ‘avatar’ for former members like ‘No longer a member’?
It’s a bit irritating when my last 2 posts are the only ones I’ve posted on this thread that are not specifically about a takeover (when the thread has multiple posts from multiple posters about anything but a takeover, plus a number having a go at @jamesseed).
Also, is it really necessary to refer to @jamesseed as ‘Seed’ (like a policeman or old style school teacher) rather than by his user name as is the usual practice?
You wouldn't have seen them. You have not earned the epithet "CARD ****" , so you were of no interest. And they were sent as direct messages by various social media channels.
Any news on the takeover? Last I heard Rowlund wanted to sell, had screwed up by not going with the Saudis and was scratting around for a buyer prepared to pay what he thought he had agreed.
Some press leak suggested Usmaninov was interested. Smelt like a Duchatelet leak trying desperately to convince the Aussie consortium there remained interest from elsewhere so they should close the deal.

Points taken mate. And I only used yours as it was literally the most recent one when I logged on.
I’ve always referred to him as Seed and don’t mean anything by that, same way I wrote HI instead of Henry Irving, or someone might write elfs instead of elfsborg
