Hhmmm...ending a sentence with a preposition.
I know as a fully paid-up member of the Grammar Police it's not a popular profession. However the incorrect use of the reflexive 'myself' (twice!) in this text does my head in.
He's sent an official letter? That doesn't make sense. He's supposedly part of a consortium. Why on earth would he be making the offer?
Does the missus know?Well you would think so, but this is Dale Evans, so obviously it will be Gavin Strachan.
Either that or Gene Simmonds from Kiss.
This is Dale Evans world where all things are possible.
I'm eloping with Anna Friel and Bjork on Friday and we're all going to live on a white fluffy cloud in Nutella Land.
Does the missus know?

On another note-Barnsley just been taken over by the Chinese consortium that own Nice in French league. (Part owned by Billy Bean -Moneyball Guy)
Barnsley FFS are more investable than us

Nutter update... Dale says on Facebook: "I've sent an official offer through my solicitors today, an offer in the region that they asked for."
Hope he didn't fax it, use non-letterhead paper or indeed draw his letter with wax crayons.
With the one caveat that he might be prepared to move a worthless club on for nowt... unlike SISU!All that follows is purely opinion and no personal slight intended or made just in case there are any lawyers around
Just say he has the money ................. I have seen nothing that tells me has (so I do not believe it or in him) .................. So this following scenario is make believe too ...... if he can so can we :hilarious:
Say he has put in a bid, has proof of funds
that would mean he is part of the consortium only when it suits him - reference through "his solicitors"
I am pretty certain the figure that Seppala wants upfront is nearer £20m than £10m - I would question the sanity and financial understanding of anyone making such a bid
He has good professional advisors You would have to question what the hell his professional advisors are doing (I don't mean the guy with the hat)
Has put the price up to anyone else who bids by setting the bar higher - this has implications for on going funding and debt levels at CCFC
It is not get rid of SISU at all costs, or at least in a rational world it shouldn't be. For the future of the club this deal has to be at the right price, in the right structure and in the hands of people who know what they are doing. It is one thing buying the club quite another running it and funding it going forward.
So far it has been all conducted by media and social media. In my opinion it has been impatient, unprofessional, contradictory, inconsistent, self promoting, lacking commercial understanding or existing structures, prone to trumpesque social media bickering, knee jerk reactions and changes of allegiance, and immature demanding and proclamations. It has done no one any credit or favour. It has made the whole thing more confused and harder to achieve and put the price of an achievable deal up by many millions.
Just my opinion but the biggest risk to the future of CCFC today is that he has the money and SISU say yes (both I think very unlikely). From what I have seen and heard so far I have no confidence whatsoever that the club would then be in good hands, stable safe and prospering under Mr Evan's ownership - quite the reverse in fact, I would expect a short dismal future

Yeah, agree. I said before he may have some mental health issues.Think people should just ignore it and lay off now. I think It’s becoming clear there is something not right, mentally.
People have had their fun and I get that from what has gone in before.
However now it’s looks pretty clear like there are issues. So probably best just ignored.
He seems to be free to post whatever and whenever he wants.That's what I mean, why aren't his family having a quiet word?
Yeah, agree. I said before he may have some mental health issues.
Some others though just think he's been drinking.
It's sad whichever way you look at it. Thing is though, if he does have a health issue you would have thought his family and friends would have prevented him having exposure to social media.
If he does have issues, us slagging him off on here isn't going to help at all is it, so if it was my missus or brother etc. I would be overseeing what they are typing and be intercepting and preventing.
If he has a condition all this can hardly be helpful.
Absolutely spot on . I'm a bit of an old bugger who was taught such simple things at school like "Timmy and I" not "Timmy and me", nor "me and Timmy." However, I'd rather any of those than "Timmy and myself.
As for apostrophes, kids are putting them after anything ending in "s" simply because they are being taught how to use it before they are ready, and when they are too young. They can't even use full stops and capitals and yet it's time to move on to apostrophes. Nonsense.
Agree with Don though, definite issues so maybe the best thing we can do for him is not give him any more attention
No mate I think Bing's issue was (he claimed) his fax machine didn't work, that was the reason for my fax reference above!Or the easy mistake of failing to press send/check your outbox. Even a genius of Michael Bing’s calibre can make such error!
But if he HAS got mental issues why did his family let him go on CWR?I know at the beginning it had to be consisidered as a serious possibility. Hence why I don’t have a massive issue with people looking into it back then and highlighting the flaws and the contradictions.
Also understand the frustration when it transpired to be not what it seemed.
However now to me it’s clear something isn’t right.
At this point it is better people just totally ignore it.
Who knows slowly the bloke could be having a breakdown and this is part of it.
There is possibly a lot going on we don’t know about and this second bout of posting after everything before makes me think something really isnt right.
Maybe his family are trying their best stop him, however imagine how hard it would be to stop a grown man accessing the internet.
At least the press are not jumping on it anymore.
But if he HAS got mental issues why did his family let him go on CWR?
the saddest point in this sorry tale is that normal ,rational and sensible fans have been driven to cling to any old nonsense posted on social media.
The current owners and their henchman have driven us to this point.

CWR pretty much said they’d done zero due diligence. Something along the lines of it’s a phone in show anyone can come on.As time goes by, you really do wonder what journalistic due diligence CWR did before letting him on the radio; same with Hoffman, you wonder why he's tarnished his own reputation by affirming that DE is legit and saying "we welcome him to the consortium".
Hoffman must feel pretty embarrassed by it all you would have thought.CWR pretty much said they’d done zero due diligence. Something along the lines of it’s a phone in show anyone can come on.
To be fair they did ask him questions about his background and how he’s got the money which at face value could have been true.
Problem was within hours it was all unravelling but the media and then Hoff kept the story going.
