And was the person who told him, told it in confidence?
All I can ascertain is that BDL was told some complete bullshit in confidence which he passed on. Said person (Rick??) then blabbed it to the world?
Something tells me that those supposedly in the know regarding this are having their chain pulled somewhat?
Roland's revenge?
That sounds like a classic ploy to source a leak; give everyone a slightly different story and see which appears on Twitter or CharltonLife.
In which case, it underlines the need for the type of confidentiality that the likes of Rick are striving for: providing enough info that we get the gist, but too small enough for any sources to be identified. (I'm thinking of the Aussie coffeeshop bloke now, who was apparently displeased when things came out on here.)
It's mentioned above that someone had actually seen the "compromising" messages from BDL, and that they listed two parties. No idea why anyone would share screenshots, but nevermind...
On the other hand, if I recall correctly Rick made his tweet, and then BDL replied to confirm it. There may have been an implication that they had the same info, but from different sources... Suggesting it was valid at the time, but has either dragged on or been derailed?
All I can say with any certainty is that Chinese whispers is f*cking confusing in 2018.
475 pages and we are back to square one. This is getting really depressing now
We’re not. Even the club’s official position is that it is likely to be sold in February and that one party is close on price, so that isn’t a problem.
At square one, and right up until December 28th, the official position was that the club was “not for sale”. That was never true, but we are a long way from that now, whoever you believe.
I just really hope when it is complete, that it is RH's moneybag consortium. We have dealt with enough shite as a fanbase over the last decade. Give me super filthy rich investors who have a 5 year plan to get us to the prem. Pretty please.

Well hopefully I can believe you. Nice seeing you at MK Saturday btw.
Let's hope something happens sooner rather than later

So we believe the club now?

Just not then?
You can take your choice, really, but a repeated blanket denial usually made off the record is a bit different from three different published statements by directors (Dec 28th, Jan 20th and Feb 7th, all with some details, and two separate briefings for staff) - especially when the latter is supported by other information and the denial never was.

It only damages anyone's mental health if they allow it to.
Why close the thread?
People enjoy it and if they don't they don't have to read it.
Just be patient, don't buy into any deadlines or twist "could" into "will"
When it's on the OS. Till then just chill.
If in 8 days time we still not sold then we need to worry.
Nice seeing you at MK Saturday btw.

Yet
It will happen when it happens, today, tomorrow, next week, next month.
We nearly all want it to happen sooner rather than later but why should we worry on 1 March if it hasn't?
I really don't get the panic and worry.

Pathetic. No one is arguing.
