TRon Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Caulkin reckons getting the lawyers involved is to force the PL to finally make an official decision that could be then took to appeal that the buyers would have confidence in winning. Also says the buyers had been in daily dialogue with the club including discussions on player recruitment. Probably why we’ve got Wilson, Fraser and Lewis But but but, they're Bruce's buys? Caulkin has as much a clue as Edwards. He built a reputation on being significantly more articulate that the typical local journalist and having a tenuous friendship with Staveley which has been shown up to be worth less than a slice of dung smeared toast. I'd be happy to state that people on this forum know as much about what has gone on as Caulkin does after the last few months. Christ man! Detach the emotion, and what exactly is inaccurate with that? There is some absolute fruit cakes on this forum. I think it’s largely accepted that caulkin gets his info from staveley, he passes on what she tells him. It really is as simple as that Questioning whether the info she passes him is crap does not make a fruitcake, If it did, then the takeover would have been done ages ago based on what she fed him and he reported. Well she's still here by the looks of it, equally you could argue if she was a fraud she would have slunk away in defeat by now. I for one am very happy about that, still prefer this consortium above all the other ones who disappear as soon as hard cash is required to be shown.

He isn't presenting it as the truth. He did present what she told him as the truth. I've no doubt he truthfully reported what she said. Either way what was reported has not been the actual outcome. Now here we are sitting looking at a protracted legal battle, with no guarantee of any takeover at the end of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Is it not that she's only lying if the Prem are telling the truth? I'm not sure I'd throw my lot in with Masters, Hoffman and the Prem over anyone as things stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to state that people on this forum know as much about what has gone on as Caulkin does after the last few months. Completely untrue. How so? People on here only know what Caulkin and the press tell them barring a few that claim to be ITK. So i Don't think it's unreasonable to claim that people on here know as much as he does (or publishes at least). There's enough members watching many many sources and reports, so anything that comes out tends to end up here one way or another. So your argument is that we know as much as Caulkin does after he tells us, which means he knows nowt? That would only be true if he never received new info. Also the reasoning that all his info from Staveley is worthless because what she's told him hasn't always come to pass is faulty. For instance she might be assured the takeover is being allowed soon. She tells Caulkin who passes, something changes and it doesn't happen That's a case of changing circumstances rather than inaccurate info. So it's no reason the think all other info is worthless.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I like Caulkin but I don’t think his reporting is all that special, and he was unwise to make himself the spokesperson for Staveley to such an extent. At the end of the day he’s a football journalist, what they can know is very limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Am actually a little surprised he made these recent comments. I thought the lesson might have been learned to stay quiet and just let it go on in the background. He's in a funny position now because he probably can't voice a personal opinion without it being interpreted as having come from Amanda Staveley.

He's in a funny position now because he probably can't voice a personal opinion without it being interpreted as having come from Amanda Staveley. Im hoping Ashleys lawyers (QC ones), the government and the PL are having discussions on how to progress this to the satisfaction of all parties. I would be very surprised if this actually made it to court. I think an out of court agreement will be reached - and hopefully that is a restructed bid that can be approved. Hopefully we go into a period of radio silence again to let me get on with the above! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of eloquent and informed writing about the club over a period of at least five years and capturing the mood of the fans his writing has been second to none. If the takeover goes through, he should be credited as the 4th or 5th most influential person in the takeover happening as it was no doubt his writings in the Times that were read by Staveley and made her decide to make this her life’s venture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
