STM Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Edwards and Hope have been very quiet on yesterdays development. Either they are working out how not to embarrass themselves like Downie did or they are keeping their heads down before doing the whole "understand a deal is now closer," bullshit, like they have some sort of scoop.

Shearergol Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I do love how people on here are so desperate for information, but as soon as someone provides it they're a bull-shitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Does Odin have credibility? I mean, sorry to be talking so openly about you Odin but your info is so good that I need to know that your not just a WUM. And Greg, he's a mod, surely he wouldnt put his neck on the line? (Unless he was guessing) All seems to good to be true. I'm severely hoping for a major scoop from someone like Caulkin, an exclusive interview confirming it or whatever. As far goes Pinsent yes, I moonlight as a recruiter for high level positions. Legal is one of the areas I dabble in along with Localization and Digital. I’ve pinched a few for them (Pinsent Masons) in the last 2 years. Especially when they were setting up a new Dublin office. I didn’t post all day yesterday as am on holidays in Italy right now but when I saw all the news yesterday evening I reached out to my guy and he was aware of it so I didn’t need to fish too much for the info. The takeover is a formality at this stage I’ve been told. Pinsent have a big team working on this, I assume Ashley does too with his lawyers so it’ll get trashed out in due course. The main thing now is for BZG to move funds into a holding account controlled by the law firm. He doesn’t know for sure as he’s not working directly on this but he says deals of this size are usually done in instalments over the course of a few weeks and if the club has been broken up into smaller pieces like it has, each transaction will be a tranch of parts of the club, until it’s all transferred over in full. Well one things for sure you’re definitely moving in corporate circles, with the ‘reaching out’ stuff Want to punch people at work when they say that. Corporate terminology is so cringe-worthy. "Blue sky thinking" is another that makes me I worked with Americans for quite a few years and the bullshitty corporate expressions they use seem to cross the Atlantic a few years later. We hired a "Blue Sky Thinker" about 25 years ago, that was his actual fucking job. Only lasted about six months though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 What the fuck is a blue sky thinker?! Back then it was a bloke who sat in his office and looked at the ceiling and tried come up with good ideas for investment etc. Bit of a piss take really, always found plumbers and electricians much more useful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 What the fuck is a blue sky thinker?! Someone who thinks of ideas that sound great, but often are laced with problems/cost and can never truly operate as they are envisaged. It was quickly changed to BS thinker as I recall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Cheers Odin. If you are a bullshitter, you are very good at it. When I’m recruiting I’m a shameless pimp ? I only get a few a year but 17% of what their salaries are definitely adds up quickly. It involves a lot of manipulation as most of these people are generally more than happy in their work at that level and hadn’t considered leaving at all until I make contact.

Thomson Mouse Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Apologies for the generalisation but my personal experience is that recruiters are the biggest bullshitters I deal with in business Pretty fair generalisation Thought showers was another, now thankfully defunct corporate bullshit phrase. We always used to print out these (bit old now but you get the meaning) and play bullshit bingo in the opening plenary session with the GM at conference, until some knackered decided to jump up and shout ‘house’. http://i.imgur.com/CqhrV21.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he will slip up. Ashley: Ok Lee, you have your packed lunch, your shirt and tie is looking good, you’re all ready for the big meeting. Remember though, whatever you do, do not tell them that I have sold the club, tell them anything else, but that. 5 hours later..... Ashley: What the fuck? What was the one thing I asked you not to do? Take that tie off, you look fucking stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
