Sean Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Caulkin reckons it coming back on the table would be ‘very difficult’ Has Caulkin got owt right yet re. this takeover? How hard is it to understand he can only report on what he’s told. Especially by Staveley The buyers were told twice unofficially it was going to be done No - the buyers claimed that. Why would we believe them after this? Also, Caulkin was basing everything on one source - nothing to corroborate what they were telling him. And he's been made to look a fool by said source.

He's just openly ruining his credibility and for someone who works for the Telegraph it's just strange. Id expect stories like this from the daily star or that page 3 lass that turned into transfer girl who was adamant we were signing Charlie Austin.

gjohnson Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 so for Penn and Glen Johnson over here - you're aiming your frustrations at a journalist who had a line into what was likely our future CEO under new ownership and was telling us whatever he was told - and again, you're blaming him. You're having a go at him. You're wasting your precious time trying to say he should have dug even further into this. Not in the slightest. Not blaming him for anything other than neglecting checking on his sources. In this case Amanda has told him things and he's put them out there without checking if they are true or not....at least not that anyone can see If he's going to be publishing stuff with regard to the take over of course he should have been digging deeper to confirm what he's been told, and not look like Staveley's lapdog mouthpiece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regularly a journalist will report what a source says without having to go and check if what they say is true or not. There are plenty of stories which simply report, for example, what Boris Johnson says about something. His comments still get reported by journalists whether hes talking shit or not.

There are plenty of stories which simply report, for example, what Boris Johnson says about something. His comments still get reported by journalists whether hes talking shit or not. It's not nonsense at all. Just because they do doesn't make it right. Yes Boris talks balls all the time, but it's always recorded by many outlets, then picked apart and checked over the next few hours and days. George having a private chat with Amanda is not the same thing in the slightest as it doesn't have national scrutiny where everyone is interpreting every word and checking with a dozen other MPs/advisors afterwards. His bullshit is easy to pull apart precisely because people check what he is saying. Also, if something hasn't been confirmed by at least a second source, you'll generally see the term 'allegedly, or unconfirmed reports'. BBC isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but anything they put out always has at least 2 verifiable sources. Speculation on their part is always tempered with 'allegedly'.

Menace Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 It was clear Caulking was getting fed shite though. Even when all the piracy stuff came out he was just repeating the same shite, buyers remain confident etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Shame that PCP and The Reubens can’t put a bid together. You just know Mauriss is going to scrape a few loans together and buy the club and the whole football world will be telling us how happy we should be to get rid of Ashley.

Definitely. Won't go down well with his fan boys though. Conversely, Luke Edwards is clearly a WUM but has been far closer to what's actually been going on, however unpopular the truth turned out to be.

triggs Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I don't believe Mauriss to be worth more than Ashley, in fact I believe him to be worth considerably less. No point in bothering with a takeover if the funds available to improve the club aren't increased significantly from what they are currently, all that would happen is we would continue to 'exist' just to make up the numbers of the league, if we're lucky. We certainly wouldn't be any better off in the chance of winning anything. Ashley has plenty of money to compete, he just doesn't want to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Don't know what some people want from Caulkin like, going on like he should have a crystal ball. Facts can change, new evidence can come to light, what is true one day might not be true the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
