This is what I mean about not believing anything. Has Ryder really just interpreted that as Ashley ‘getting the green light’ 

 

fuck sake


Don’t beat yourself up it was nice to see you spreading positivity for 30 seconds. 
 

In future stick this kind of bollocks in the positivity thread though, and leave this thread to the realists gdm. I’d hate to see your reputation as the gLOOMINdOOMmERCHANT getting tarred with a major faux pas like this.

You were on about our legal case though as you had a go at the super-positives. 

 

I wasn't referring to our case at all. I was just highlighting what we are up against. There is simply no logical reason for anyone to be anything more than 50/50 in the confidence stakes, based on everything that we have seen play out over the last 12 months. 

 

I've already said I am 30/70 against, but that 30% still gives me hope, otherwise I wouldn't be hanging around here.

strange unwarranted unprovoked dig but ok. 
 

I’m balanced I post both positive and negative stories/tweets and opinions. The positive v negative battles on here are as boring and embarrassing as the Ben jacobs v ncsl shite on twitter. Fuckin pack it in

If today's events are not taken as a warning shot by the super-optimists then nothing will be. We are massively, massively up against it. The game is rigged beyond belief and the events in April have made no difference to who pulls all of the strings.

I don't think there is a man, woman or child who doesn't think we aren't up against it.
What's the alternative though ? Just be miserable as sin ?
The super optimists just want to believe. It's in a football fan's nature to believe positive things in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. "This year might just be our year" has been a fans mantra since the sport originated.

Ignore him. He doesn’t recognise that people can change their opinion as the information in front of us changes.

I recognise people can change their mind like anything in life. However I just beg to differ on some of the information people have put weight on in here to constantly change their position on whether it’s happening.

Do you all literally just spend every single day having a go at each other trying to prove one another right or wrong? Ffs, its the same fucking shite back and forth. Give it a fucking rest.

Have to disagree. It seems there are people who are convinced without a doubt that it will happen. I'd just advise caution against that because if they truly believe their conviction then it will really, really hurt if it falls through.

 

I'm have optimism too. It's only about 30% but it's still there, which is why I occasionally post a link or comment in the Positivity thread. The occasional good news story keeps me going, and posting it in the other thread bolsters the hope that I still have.

Both takeover threads are absolutely full of shit twatter nonsense and comments and interpretations by posters who haven't got a fucking clue what is going on but still  insist of driving their agendas with the most ridiculous nonsensical assertions based on the sweet sum of fuck all.

Fair comment i suppose but the “Positivity Thread” was set up specifically “This thread is meant to be lighthearted and warming towards our potential takeover...after all there’s not much else positive it the worlds ATM.”……..I think you will find that most people enjoy going in there to get away from the deep discussion and arguments in this thread…..i guess its not everyone’s cup of tea, but it wasn’t set up for deep thinking and insider knowledge?

Right lads if yous think for one minute I'm getting sucked back into this takeover lark after a year of heartache, anxiety, anger, leaving the forum in disgrace, coming back to the forum under a new name and more disgrace and just the feeling of total hopelessness.

 

Then you'd be absolutely right.

You're a nobody if you haven't had ban on this forum.  Sort of like 'a rights of passage'.   Just wish Fanny Batter would get a ban but he's too much of a...........!

I left on my own accord after getting so frustrated and then came back fresh with a new profile and attitude...........but fucked that up as well. I just wind my neck in now.

I’ll repeat for the 1000th time. If you feel the need to get all upset, so much so that you’re posting childish gibber like above, just put me on ignore.

 

You won’t need to worry about a ban then.

Good to hear positive noises (albeit through MA’s favourite PR wagon of Sky).

 

Seems like the thoughts that both sides will start leaking positive/negative noises ahead of arbitration was a correct one. It’s a full on soap opera.

 

I’m assuming if arbitration is now expected to start in June rather than July, documents etc. have all been submitted (or will be submitted shortly) without any further requests for delays. Great news that we’ll finally get closure.
