I've said several times Corney is taking a risky route announcing it before it's signed. And insane if it never existed and is a diversion. I've said I more than likely expect it to fall through. I've said we should be cautious, but it is not his usual Modus Operandi. None of which is aimed at you, because you invariably post the facts, especially financially. You replied to my post on a different thread with a comment about not speculating. I didnt speculate, I simply said that I dont believe it will come to anything substantial at this point in time. Why not? History. It never does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a typical week for latics and if one ignores the rumours (as one should) then very little out of the ordinary has happened: - we got beat - we have a woefully inadequate squad - our owner made a desperate attempt to give the fans some hope with a bullshit statement reminiscent of what was stated during the early days of the SD deal. Thats the long and short of it. Everything else is unsubstantiated speculation and clearly bollox. why do people think there is 'something going on' I see very little evidence of that be honest, you agree don't you.

On the basis of what evidence do we "know"? Surely the only people who "know" are Corney and his inner circle.......the rest of us are guessing based on his previous. I'm leaning towards the Donald Rumsfeld quotation regarding all this investment talk: "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know". At some point in the distant future, Corney will come out and tell us there is a takeover and it comes to fruition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really believes that there is an investor with the means and willingness to put the necessary cash in to make a difference do they? as an 'unknown' i could be wrong.

Hands on Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The problem with all this is that we would have been better off not knowing. After the statement/interview we all looked forward with hope. If the next statement/interview tells us it fell through that hope will evaporate. We would have another nail in the coffin. It is the Chaos Theory in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If it does fall through I wonder who'll get the blame this time - Mike Keegan's been quiet about it so he's off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money is on the blame being placed squarely at the feet of those whovtgrew the smoke bombs on Saturday. Everything was going well and the money was in place but the prospect of a fine from the Football League made it no longer cost effective. Sadly they don't accept promises and the never never, the *******s want actual hard cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
