Whether that's based on guesswork or any real info, it's kinda stating the f***ing obvious.
Although to a lot of people the takeover was definitely real and going to happen.
Also, if this is true a fair few who said Bishop would have to be an evil mastermind to make up a fake takeover story, might need to think again.
2 problems with that
1. Why did the club not comment on outright lies?
2. Publicity with whom? Nobody knew what they do and still don't.
*This* is where Bishop earns his coin imo. Twisting truths and making up bullshit between the lines of fact.
