[Archived] Rovers Sold ??

[nicko]

You know who I am and what I do. I don't care if you like me or not.

You know why I tried to give you info - because I saw fans with interest, enthusiasm and appetite.

Now...GM.

Let's tell everyone who you are and what your motives are.

[rebelmswar]

Actually, you're right, it shouldn't matter. I thought for a minute about the brotherhood of football fans, but hey, those days are long gone.

The real question you should be asking yourself is why Nicko is getting so involved on Williams side. PR plant, definitely...

Le Tissier becons in your dream world.

I am suprised that you are not saying Williams is funding it with his Jew gold and that the Zionist world order is having the Masons and the Knights of Columbus put pressure on the Blackburn Board.

[EwoodGlory]

Nicko has broken plenty of Rovers stories not just the takeover one, so why does that mean he is their PR guy?

Next you will be saying Santa Cruz's agent paid him to link him with the club in the press and start the transfer rumour.

I read some of the stuff on the Saints forums and it was all a bit weird, and still find it hard to get my head around. It sounded like some kind of windup by someone, but I wouldn't of thought it would of been Williams or his 'people'.

Maybe a pompey fan

[Guided Missile]

It does seem like you are a little bitter at being spurned. I could probably fake the evidence you've provided re the web sites in about 20 minutes. Though maybe its possible they accidentally published an intranet onto the net and are trying to cover their backs.

I can't see what Nicko has to gain, obviously his interest is to sell stories to the national press.

That said, something doesnt appear to add up. Time will tell I guess.

You don't know half of the evidence about Williams and no, you couldn't fake it.....

Bitter? For what? 4 months of bullsh!t....I'm glad the chancer's infecting your club and forum instead...

Still, I'm off for good, now.

Enjoy......

You're paranoid

This would be top drawer entertainment is there wasn't so much at stake.

Bye Vinjay

But ask yourself something - why has no-one else come close to buying the club since it was open to offers about two years ago?

Could it be that it has always been overvalued?

Now you have someone prepared to talk serious figures, with a plan and with backers.

Hopefully, no-one else has come close to buying the club because the protection mechanisms put in place by Uncle Jack sends them running back under their stones.

ie - there is no way anyone with an ounce of business acumen can make a going concern out of an outfit which has 5 million quid per year pumped into it on the instructions and wishes of a very generous fan - for zero return.

Dan Williams can talk "serious figures" until he's red in the face - until someone shows me some evidence that his "billion dollar contracts" in West Africa actually exist I will have no confidence in anything anyone says about him / his motives / his plan / his backers.

[nicko]

So your man did a runner without saying who he was.

How strange and how revealing.

He will no doubt take it out on the staff tonight.

On a serious note, have no doubt that if this bid is dodgy you will be told.

Go back and check out the original stories in the Mirror and the People and tell me where the PR element is.

I recall readers thinking I was unusually complimentary about 'the club.'

Having your sources suspected is nothing new, but to be accused of being a PR man is a bit rich.

2+2 just will not get to 4 with me either Tris. Still and in no way connected but I was wrong about Hughes appointment so what do I know?

Good for you if you're gone, but vague allegations and trivially falsifiable information do not an argument make. I'll believe the evidence, and at the moment, all I know is that there's someone negotiating with Rovers. If you have more stuff to bring to the table, then bring it instead of hanging around casting aspersions. It's ridiculous. All that happened on your board looked very much like trolling, an internet pastime where people are wound up. It was well done but it looked like a troll and sounded like one so I didn't even look again. If you have "hard" evidence to the contrary bring it up, post it somewhere and let us know. Otherwise this time you're the troll and not whoever was posting on your messageboards.

If Dan Williams is really the lunatic that appeared on the Southampton boards then he won't be buying football clubs (or running serious businesses, either) so I'm not too concerned. As for nicko, I await tidbits of transfer information with glee. And in fairness, you have been more than willing to admit it when things change.

[Scotty]

Who'd have thought that this little website could possibly have just seen a bit of a spat between a known journalist and an ex-Southampton chaiman.

Then again, they could both be imposters.

Who knows?

The one thing I do believe in all this though is that the current owners of the club will do what they think is the right thing by the club. I'm confident that they won't sell to someone corrupt.

Anyway, beer time.

[USRoverME]

Still, I'm off for good, now.

We could only be so lucky.

[stuwilky]

Well done, you found some accusations from 4 years ago.

What did the DTI have to say about it?

[nicko]

Thanks for bringing that up.

The article in question cost the Sunday Express £18,500 and an apology.

As I say, thanks.

Now put your name and address on here and you can pay the same.

Or are just a coward hiding behind a made-up name.

I will be instructing my solicitor to find out who you are.

[Manchester Blue]

Sorry, nicko, I have come back to apologise for suggesting you would plant stories to benefit a company/person, in whom you have an interest.

Remember this article? You really do have integrity and I am sure all the Rovers fans will be thankful for a Bluenose like you looking out for them.

Nicko - PR Plant IMHO as of that there is no doubt.....

You clearly have some bizarre agenda although I cannot for the lfie of me work out what. Why on earth would you be posting on here when you claim to be delighted that Dan Williams has not gone and bought the Saints?

Brotherhood of Football fans apparently.

[Tris]

A PR plant?

You crack me up, Rupert.

Still I suppose that's the price you have to pay for being in that 'red top' world the working class inhabit.

Your snobbery betrays you.

You know who I am and what I do. I don't care if you like me or not.

Why have you made these insinuations? I have worked out the exact identity of Guided Missile - you clearly haven't! Solicitor?!

Hahaha

You are, in my opinion, the most smug, pompous and obnoxious poster on this board.

That is all

The ignore function might be useful to you Mike - I think your feeling towards Tris are pretty obvious now.

[Manchester Blue]

Come on now Mike don't sit on the fence, tell us what you think!!

His posts are the grist to my mill!

OK, name him.

I quite fancy a new extension.

FACT "Guided Missile" is not called Rupert.

FACT Alan Nixon bought 20,000 Proactive shares at flotation in 2001, and the subsequent furore and allegations of biased reporting (rejected by Nixon) led to him and the Independent newspaper parting company in 2004.

FACT I couldn't give a hoot what your opinion about me is, this is an internet forum and you and I are both entitled to our opinions!

[brfcshabba]

I know who he is - Just required a bit of research
