Same old bullshit constantly People wouldn’t have to same discussions if people didn’t continue to post bullshit rumours, Twitter drivel and photos from De Marco analysed to the nth degree. There’s a separate thread for that. People got all high and mighty about the other thread and relentlessly whinged on about anyone who went into there with any sense/realism. Now everyone stopped going into that thread to engage with them, it seems they post it all in here and whinge about the same thing.

That's fair. I apologise. Clearly some of you can talk about it like grown-ups. My problem is that many people in that thread - Not all, sorry again for the generalisation - refuse to acknowledge that the failure of the takeover is even possible. It's just exhausting to even try to engage with these people. Fine though, they have their thread where they can all be like that and I'll stay out, out of respect, because it's segregated and not hurting anyone. But really it needs to stay there and not infest the rest of the board because it's not reflective of how the world actually is. There's 2 threads for a reason.

They will have an impressive legal team behind them too. As impressive as De Marco is facts and evidence will win this case not who is presenting them and we know next to nothing about the facts and evidence of this case. if that’s why you are so confident it’s laughable. anyway apologies to all.

Yeah but we're all hoping for a bit of good news on the takeover and when you see loads of posts it's usually either some positive or negative info been posted. There hasn't been either. If certain people are that positive about the takeover then let them be, I'm far from positive myself but I'm not letting anyone's positivity (or negativity for that matter) bother me.

Some of the negative conclusions people come to are not realistic at all, but their thinking (if that's what it is) is "mind-blowingly" creative in how they add 2 and 2 together and make Minus 4" out of it. Mind-blowing. Just rename the (so-called) Positive Thread the "Realistic, Logical and Common Sense" Thread, then merge to other one INTO it, so it can be absorbed by it.

Anyone who thinks Ben Jacobs and Luke Edwards are top of the ”ITK list” regarding the takeover are either a troll or has mental issues. Not sure I’ve ever said that. What I have said is they have much better sources than most people. In addition to the fact they were the two reporters who highlighted the issues with the takeover last summer, before anyone else knew. I’ve also said as they are both more on the negative side (in terms of thinking it’ll go through), if they were to change that opinion it’d certainly be worth listening to as they must’ve heard something substantial to change it. If you’re incredibly wrong about my take on that, I suppose you’ve got no hope of understanding what I’d like to see happen. PS - mental health issues aren’t something to make light of. It makes you look a bit of an idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s blind hope dressed up as realistic positivity it’s tiring. I’ll say it one last time you have no clue about the arbitration case, what evidence or arguments either side will present. Neither do I. I will wait and see what the outcome is while being hopeful I’m fully aware we might lose.
