Offering fuck all but insults. Not counter-arguments...just lectures on their own perception of forum etiquette. Making them look ridiculous...not the other way round. Fucking children. It's way more tiresome and boring than the over-optimistic few. Manorpark might do people's tits in...but he's been posting on here for over a fucking decade and always gave good information about the history of the club and certain eras of development. He's far from a Troll. The trolls are those coming in here being massive fucking bores. "Nobody knows what's going on, so your opinion makes you looks stupid!" is the mantra...yet yous do they exact same thing, just from the opposite angle. And with same tone of objectivity. And no, it's not a discussion...it's bellend behaviour that none of those people would get away with in the real world. The forum felt light and breezy during the short time these threads were inaccessible. He may be a good poster in other areas but he has become nothing but a troll on anything takeover related. And if we are talking insults, you only need to look at one of his latest posts. Could he actually be any more condescending? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Pop him on ignore, like. The biggest irony is that the ones that are wound up by him are the only ones quoting him. I just fancy a thread on the takeover where we discuss the takeover. Seems simple enough. Edited June 2, 2021 by Thumbheed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread was always going to get toxic before the PL submit their evidence for the jurisdiction challenge. A big long wait with zero news getting out. That's the 11th.. God knows how long the judge will take to deliberate over that. Everything you see on here, twitter etc is just noise between now and then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclosure for arbitration has come and gone. Disclosure for the CAT case is later in the month, after the Premier League were granted an extension, but the case itself is expected to take a lot longer. There was even talk of early next year before a decision is reached. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 20 minutes ago, neesy111 said: Can someone actually give an update? Are we WAITING for the results of CAT now? The deadline for disclosure in the arbitration was 26th May (if the extension the PL requested was agreed). The deadline for evidence in the arbitration is 9th June (if the extension the PL requested was agreed). The deadline for submission of the PL's CAT jurisdiction challenge is 11th June. I think the next think we will probably hear is the outcome of the CAT jurisdiction challenge, maybe sometime around the end of this month. I think the takeover probably hangs on the outcome of the arbitration, the CAT case would take too long, it might just be there at this stage mostly to put pressure on the PL to settle the arbitration.

I was a bit worried at first that he had some Micky Mouse solicitor on it, like Warwick Davis and his accountant. Just a hypothetical... If we steam roller them in count or they fold and agree to settle at the first whiff of disclosure, would your opinion of Keith change? It would after all mean he was right all along - rock solid case, never in doubt etc. My opinion of Keith is pretty simple: He's done a stand up job getting things done from a fan's perspective but as a quasi-official spokesperson for the hhe has slowly started to unravel. I would have hoped (expected) that someone in his position would be more reserved. Instead, as the months have rolled on, he's more likely to sling shite at those who disagreed with him as opposed to reasoned responses or not responding at all. Right now, IMO, he's no different that a whole bunch of twitter twats. His ideal would have been to rise above the fray...he hasn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really help. but on the other side of it, the poor bloke was getting massive abuse from so many twitter wankers from day one (even before he started ranting back) that he probably snapped and started digging back. He shouldn't but was probably fed up of the grief. Think the best thing is, if you can't put up with all the twitter dickheads wanting to bitch on, then don't go on it.

mighty__mag Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Said a few weeks ago, as soon as the season is over the takeover threads will ironically takeover, they have been regardless, but I did also think they'll get messy.

Hhtoon Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 We need to stop using Ben and Keith as the barometer for the takeover. It isn't going to fail because Ben is a bit more polished and slick, or because Keiths spelling is iffy. Not will it pass just because Keith is passionate and Ben made some bad life choices a decade ago. They're both feeding off 2nd hand info or their own research and adding their opinions.
