But it’s now become a major problem for Murphy..

I’ve made a point of not sharing family info like that.
It’d be good if you could delete it. It has no bearing on the takeover.

It does though

No it doesn’t. GM is the deal broker. He wasn’t sure whether he’d move after the sale.

But it’s relivent, I thought gm was going to be ceo? May have got that wrong so correct me if not true.

If the ceo is not sure if he is going to be in the county I would think that is important

Hi being CEO was and is an option. If he doesn’t move here he won’t be CEO obviously.

He was meant to be CEO? I hope he would do a better job than the last one.

Even a numbskull like you could do a better job than the last one.

Absolutely no need for that!

I too thought there was a suggestion that Gerard Murphy was to become CEO. If that is now looking less likely because of personal issues I think it does have a bearing on the takeover although as GM is not one of the monied persons it could be a blow but not insurmountable.

It wouldn’t be a blow, if true, as he wasn’t originally 100% intending to be CEO in the first place.

The fact at this stage he has had not made up his mind if he is gonna be ceo or not is worrying

Gerald Murphy and Andrew Muir we’re both planning to up sticks and move there whole family to England once the takeover was complete .. But it’s now become a major problem for Murphy..

Is this the supposed personal information?

Common knowledge down my way.

Wtf? I doubt my good chum Elfs is bothered about your comment but I am.

Ask him about his personal attacks on me on another site, and his slavish subservience to one of the biggest trolls in football, who attempted to make my life a misery (having done the same to several well known posters on this site, as well as members of staff at the club). And that is without ever having met me.
Calling him a numbskull pales into insignificance compared to the lies he was telling about me, I assure you.

Steady on James, steady on.....mate!
That’s all been resolved and is in the past......understand why you’re still angered by it and who wouldn’t be, but best to let sleeping dogs lie.

No, the post I quoted.

Who is bothered about what continent, let alone country, town, street, Gerard Murphy resides in, except a few fans of a football club he may be running in the future, but only in relation to news on a take-over *chortle*

I mean, I doubt people will be parked up outside his house, even if his address was common knowledge.

I know Elfs well. He's one of the kindest folk I've met. That's all I need to know. IMHO that comment was uncalled for.

I don't know him, but heard some personal info that he ain't very tall?

Move on

Time to take a break and have a quiet day Mr.Seed

Didn't some ITK poster in the dim and distant past suggest the Aussie's bid wasn't necessarily the highest and that Roland has an irrational belief of not wanting to deal with certain nationalities, lack of trust or something. Could explain why the Saudi bid wasn't successful.

My mistake, it wasn't from a ITK poster it was from Colin on the dark side:

"The Aussies since last summer has always been his preferred choice and they knew this so was never concerned about any other group who may have been interested"

Or you could just ignore it as everyone else does.

Interesting that 35 + 7 is 42 roughly the price mentioned elsewhere if including the former director loans. Interesting that 25m (although we don’t know where that figure comes from - I’m assuming it’s via CARDs press) is the apparent offer perhaps the original cost minus an investor or two, or perhaps minus a years losses

The fact that GM’s family may or may not have issues with uprooting themselves again to move back to the U.K. to me is info that doesn’t need to be shared here.
As I said it won’t affect the sale of the club.
If the family moves he’ll be CEO. If not they’ll appoint one. How is that a problem.

I wouldn’t want info about (alleged) family difficulties shared on the internet when it’s not in the public interest.


Elf joined in with personal untrue defamatory attacks on me on another site. After weeks and weeks of really personal abuse the main perpetrator eventually issued a full apology and removed material. (I also secured a donation to the Upbeats.)
I was really struggling with it, losing sleep, getting stressed (as some of you noticed at the time) but was saved by a lawyer friend who pointed out that it was a very straightforward case of defamation. I was accused of being a decrepit lifelong Millwall fan who had decided to cash in on his family name in order to draw traffic to a ‘clickbait’ blog. My meetings and knowledge of Gerard was for a time apparently a fabrication (or ‘bollox’ as Elf described it) and I was a ‘prick’, a habitual liar, and a narcissist. Someone in this site alerted me to this stuff, and I joined the forum in order to deny the ‘claims’. I found Elfs on there reporting back to this character like a loyal foot soldier (the perpetrator is banned from here and other forums). He was and is clearly in thrall to the man. He still has digs at me to this day.
And all this started about the time of my beer meeting with Gerard.
If anyone has seen my blog they’ll know that there’s never been an ad on it.
There are posters on here that know me and I hope they’ll back me up as a decent bloke.
The fact that some have said Elfs is ok just shows what the internet can do to someone.

It was always going to be problematic posting on Internet forums, and this is obviously the best one for me to use as it’s well run and the vast majority of you on here are great people.

I stuck with it when the abuse started, and Elfs and others would love it if I quit now.

It’s difficult to keep going though when the same issues seem to keep coming back to haunt me.

Are we really now believing what Colin says?
