That's why I was just asking what threats and abuse to his family and who was saying it?
I've already asked him to name and shame them, but that was this morning after already seeing he's not online now for a while.

Have lots of empathy. I am very much someone who empathises.

I was told something about Dale Evans by someone who knows him and it is not very pleasant at all. Not going to repeat it on here but am happy to talk about it privately. Certainly doesn't show him at all in a good light.

Of course the person who told me this might be telling me bullshit, but it certainly leaves a little doubt in anyone's mind.
Do you know any of his friends in person?

You would have to understand why some would doubt stuff he comes out with. Doesn't of course mean that this abuse thing isn't true, but he has been on the radio and talked of stuff that simply hasn't happened. I'm sure that as a result of that some people are not going to just accept anything that comes out of his mouth.

It's a bit the boy who cried wolf isn't it. If this is all true it's terrible, but I can fully understand if people were skeptical of what he has now said.

Because otis has posted quotes of things he made up?
A post I can respond to without a racist slur Nick.
Are you involved or have you been involved on the deal to date? no you haven't and as far as I am aware nor has Otis. You are both jumping to conclusions. The guy has the funds(according to Hoffman) so let the rest of the play run before sticking the knife in to the fella.

I joined in the FB conversation he had last week and following that someone approached me on FB and befriended me. They talked of knowing him. They declared him to be a serial bullshitter. We had a good 10 minute conversation, at the end of it which this person then said about something Dale had been claiming previously that simply wasn't true and that he got an awful lot of flak for it.

This of course doesn't mean I simply believe what this person has said, but of course it has put doubts in my mind.

I held you in high esteem Otis....I was wrong.

For understanding why people don't believe what he says?

Okay... right.

Don't get your stance at all unfortunately. He said things that were factually inaccurate and was picked up on it. I really see no problem with that at all. Do we just cut him slack simply because he is a City fan?

If he was an MP and said stuff that was inaccurate we would surely bring him to task on it wouldn't we?

I just don't get it. Listen to the recording and listen to what he said. We are just supposed to ignore that and cut him slack because he has money?

Oh dear, scraping the barrel again playing the racist card? You were whinging that people pointing out his contradictions were attacking him but then throw the c bomb about because somebody dares to point out he said things that were made up.

It's not jumping to conclusions to point out things that have turned out to be fabricated.

Because someone told me something that MIGHT be true?

As I say, I don't necessarily believe it at all, it's just one person's word and I have deliberately set out not to repeat it on here.

No mate for the bit about willing to discuss "Tittle Tattle" that you'd "Heard" from someone that knows him, in a PM

You should take some time then read that back.
It says somebody who knows him told me he is a liar. Now I am not saying I believe them.....but

Not once have you stated in any of your previous posts that you believe a word he has uttered so why should you disbelieve a third hand comment by someone who befriended you on Facebook?

I don't know about validity of anything on Facebook. However, his own words have proved him wrong about things.

That's without the need for third parties.

I neither believe or disbelieve what someone told me on Facebook.

I seen it, a guy was saying he's always bullshitted, always posting cars he can't afford, houses he can't afford. Claims he's lied about his wealth too and it' all bullshit.

Gary Hoffman has seen all the proof he needs of Dales finance's, so have a few of his closest friends. I know one of them enough and have been friends with him for 3 years, met a few times at the casino before the game. A very positive person who would not join into a prank against the fans, no chance. That's why I believe it's all real, successful on the other hand is another debate.

Who are you? his bodyguard? try reading all the posts. You know, that thing that you cba to do most days.
I have. Otis posted valid quotes of the guy making things up, riyad doesn't seem to like that.

Who are you? It's just yet again you don't have any valid input.

Rinse and repeat. It's very strange.

Just stick to facts, if you think others are wrong get what they said and then disprove it.

I haven't accepted what he has said because it has proved to be factually inaccurate. Even Hoffman himself is saying there will be no takeover while the legal stuff is ongoing. Do we believe Dale and say Hoffman is a liar?

There clearly is stuff that this guy has made up. It's not open for debate. It's not a he said, she said tittle tattle situation, it's hard recorded evidence.

People really should listen back to the tape again if in any doubt.

From the start you have seen fit to disparage the guy. You don't know him or his circumstances yet you know best.
Dale Evans is somebody I don't know but do you know what strain him attempting to buy our club has put on him and his family? No but you find it difficult to cut the guy some slack.
Where's your empathy man?
There's a big difference between abusing his family (out of order, downright disgusting) and pointing out his media performance leaves something to be desired, and doesn't exactly encourage people to think he's anything other than a fantasist!

So disprove it then.

Get a quote from somebody, then completely blow it out of the water with facts that make it clearly look wrong.

Otis has been accused of all sorts through the thread. I just find it strange as he just posted up something the guy himself said that was clearly made up and it has seemingly offended.

Otis posts quotes the guy said, he is judged to be attacking him. Yet it's fair enough to start calling Otis a c**t in the next breath?

Yep. I actually did see that. That was when I was in there. This abuse to his family though must be so much worse than that.

My take on this is immaterial and doesn't change anything.
The guy has the money he said he has, is not a businessman and has now joined with the big boys.
I can't say he is a good guy or a fool but I can acknowledge that he is sincere in his attempt to assist in saving my football club. Unskilled maybe but what has he done to you to be so dismissive of him? He may turn out to be the reason our club survives.

Right now he may be a fantasist, but he does have the backing of other wealthier men to give it another go with SISU, I'm fully behind that!

Exactly my conclusion. That he was a fantasist and that was also what was told to me after his radio interview.

If he's put money into a pot, that would be great.

Frankly, the way he's performed he does more damage to the credibility of the consortium atm however. So based on his performances, I'm hoping he has no sway or influence beyond handing over some cash, and TPTB are able to shut him up for their own sakes!

What he has done to make me dismissive of him is his uttering inaccurate facts live on the radio.

99.9% of people would agree it's out of order abusing and threatening his family and way across the line, I'd like to think 100% but there's always strange people.

As I'm apparently the 3rd most hated person by city fans, if I said I was going to close the site tomorrow because somebody abused my family would nobody be interested in who or why they were threatening them? I'd be confident even people who disagree with everything I say would think that abusing my family was out of order.

Even if he turns out to have made it all up, making threats to his family are way over the line and should not be tolerated. He really should name and shame them as it is disgusting and I doubt any city fans would be behind that sort of stuff.

Otis said in very clear quotes where he had been shown to have made things up, you dismissed them as being comparable to Robins saying he is working with strikers remember?

As for being the saviour of the club and making sure it survives. Are you saying that out of sheer hope?

In one breath claim someone had told him something, but won't say what it is on a open forum, but will get down and dirty in a PM. Gone down a massive amount in my reckoning for simply making that statement. Hence him not replying to my post! We all hear one thing or another in everyday life, but have our own conscience wether to/not to spread gossip. Otis obviously has no conscience to even contemplate discussing to all and sundry in a PM..... Now! tell me I'm wrong!
