Sorry if you think I am putting words in your mouth, I am literally just using the words you have posted though?
I can understand you think it's bullshit, but you did go from "I just want them to say they are thinking about it" to then when they do say they are, to it being bullshit anyway.
Like I said before, no idea if they are sat 10 hours a day with Wasps discussing it or nothing else so not saying that. Just posted the quote you said you wanted to hear.

No not pure his heart out just actually say what is happening it’s not that hard.
We are in talks with Wasps.
We asked for talks with Wasps they said not till the legal action is over.
We are not in talks with Wasps it asked for talks we are considering other options.

I wasn't though was I? It's all well and good you acting like Sky Blue Kid and foaming up at the thought of it though.
If he had said "I want concrete evidence they are sorting it" and I used that quote then you would have a point.

Maybe he is, maybe Wasps won’t talk to him.
Maybe they are talking to him.
Maybe he is about to sign us up for a year at Walsall.
Maybe we shouldn’t be so cheeky and expect to be told anything and just trust that SISU will do what’s best for the club. Like they always have done in the past.
Hey ho it’s less than 8 months away. It’s no big deal. Now more importantly where can I have a pop at Wasps on the internet. That is very important.

Just all for working with them. We wont disappear, whether we inconvenience Wasps or not. Oh and as for my priorities, they are CCFC and CRFC, not Wasps or CCC.

Have I been having a pop at Wasps though? Maybe we should let him get on with it, rather than being over dramatic. Although, you do do that very well.

Clearly there are crossed wires about a few things, I neither said that anything about Evans has been proven nor that a statement the club made in September doesn't count.
I haven't changed tact about it, sorry if it appears I have. I don't trust them and haven't for years so take it as read that anything they say could be bullshit, but the statement they made in September is fine and at least goes some way to placating concerns. Not hearing anything else until something is more concrete is all well and good but when you've got however many people asking what's going on I'd rather hear 'nothing yet' than nothing at all.
The original point about them not talking about it was really just to illustrate how much attention they've had to give to a guy who originally seemed to be just a guy on Facebook with some photos of cars and massive collection of bookies pens in a drawer, I didn't intend to disappear down this rabbit hole.

They have lost the right to just be allowed to get on with it. I would at least like to know from the club if Wasps are engaging with Boddy at a meaningful level. While not expecting to know the finer points of any conversation at least we would have some hope then from what would have been a softening in Wasps stance.

Surely they aren't going to say all of that until it's done though? The same as they didn't when they were working on the academy stuff and then didn't say anything until they signed an extension earlier on in the year?
It isn't ideal, but they aren't going to lay their cards out on the table without something being sorted are they?
Good dig about where you can have a pop at Wasps on the internet though, you might want to have a look as we have seen what happens when you try to talk about the football team you support's games.

No, you were saying that because they had replied it makes it look more plausible which I was asking why and trying to understand. Whether we believe them or not, they do make statements and even more so now they do the boardroom stuff in the programmes. He was on the radio claiming it was a done deal for him to takeover and clearly on overdrive on Facebook and then to the telegraph, it's a long way from them making a statement about a mental post on here or something accusing them of something.
The quote from September was exactly what you said you wanted. I wasn't making any judgement on what is actually going on. As soon as I provided that, what you wanted suddenly changed because it was too old and you didn't trust them.

So why expect them to all of a sudden be open and communicative? I imagine there is little conversation at the moment as all parties are playing brinkmanship. However I firmly believe we'll be at the Ricoh next season.

I said that, but I didn't say it proves anything about him, which is what you apparently took from the literal words I posted.
Nothing 'suddenly' changed at all, as I've clearly explained before you again decide to tell me what my viewpoint is.
Let's please stop all this now.

The dig was actually at Zack who keeps bringing them up.
Yes we have seen what happens when I talk to you about Football.
You struggle to get your head round the idea that a team will pass the ball more to a striker who is on fire and is scoring goals for fun. Over ones who can’t score for toffee.
Then I give up.
After we agree that you are never wrong about anything and if you put a decent striker in this team he wouldn’t score anyway as nobody would make any chances for him.

Don’t waste your time ajsccfc. He won’t give up. He is never wrong.
When he is he will just decide what you are saying for you, in order to make his point. Quite similar to Grendel.
You will go round in circles for ever.
Genuinely it isn’t worth your time.

No, we have seen my 8 year old daughter could name more things that happen during our games than you. Which is strange when you want to try and preach about talking about certain things online.
Surely not.
That would be so reminiscent of the RB shenanigans last year, which emininated out of the Club itself.

I wasn't trying to say they are truthful or just be trusted, it was just an example of what is she quite common
"We want a statement about this"
"Statement"
"Bullshit anyway"

I like Nick and I don't really want to be part of any kind of feud or argument like the kind that have a habit of developing on here so I hope we can just leave it where it is and crack on to be honest.

I wasn't wrong though was I?

You mentioned them in your if I won the euro millions post to which I replied and you have ignored. As for mentioning Wasps, I have. Have I been having digs at them though? Which is what you implied I was doing.

I didn't mean anything personal by it, apologies if you took it that way.

There would be no harm in them saying discussions with Wasps are ongoing, if they are. The problem for Fisher and friends would be that with 8 months and 15 games until we are homeless that they have not had discussions with anyone. That would be a difficult announcement, if true, to put across in a positive way. The fact is that the longer they continue to say nothing, the more likely it would seem that the last scenario is true. It is fine Body coming out to say we hope to have news shortly or before Christmas or whatever, with Sisu's track record it will reassure nobody, only the few Sisu defenders on here.

Cliff notes for those who can't be arsed reading the first 28 pages:
- Some guy called Dale says he wants to buy the club
- Many disbelieve and try to discredit him whilst others say he’s genuine
- Some knobheads have had a pop at the blokes family
- Lots of people suggesting they don’t believe it, but hope it’s true
- Dale advises he's now part of the consortium as he can't quite afford it on his own
- More people convinced it's bullsh*t
- Gary Hoffman confirms he’s seen the funds
- A little backtracking mixed with some scepticism and cynicism
- Nick is doing his best to keep 20 arguments open with different posters all at the same time

Telegraph are really milking it today.
We have articles such as the usual 'Reaction to the news' as well as 'The nearly men who bought Coventry' and now an article where Gilbert is highlighting the reasons someone should buy Coventry.
The latter being a laughable report.

You forgot the part about the discussions in to American politics.

Wearing a silly hat is 'unorthodox', lying about meeting someone is, well, lying.
I don't know why it bothers you so much so that it's being pointed out that there are more than a few gaping holes in his story...
I'd be delighted to see SISU go, but I'm not so keen on being used as part of someone's weird attempt at fame. Again.

What if wasps are talking to the club and both parties have agreed to remain silent until the 2 Year extension is confirmed?
