Re: Rugby Union; Kick, Clap, Canapés and Crap!!

Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "I have no clue what you're on about though. WHAT "misinformation"? What did they say about "the costs" and how do you know it was "misinformation"? What is the point you are making about Harrisgate? That the costs were much less? Much higher? This cryptic stuff is almost in ME stylee.

Er, wasn't it the RFL that provided that information? It was hardly unattributable leaks, then?

How do you know there were no "vultures" circling? (If you claim there weren't? Do You?) I know for a fact of one party who had paid a lot of money for a commercial valuation of the Odsal site. An odd thing to do if purely random?

I think a conspiracy theory such as this is silly. Like many conspiracy theories. I don't doubt that organisations very frequently use spin-doctors, hangers-on and chancers to spin their cause, of course they do, but your proposition assumes that "they" knew they were "presiding over a disaster" yet wanted to make it look as if they weren't? Have I got that right?

Why? Why would they do that? What would it achieve? Who would care?

And no disrespect to RAB, but of all the things on the mind of a person knowingly presiding over a disaster and wanting for some reason to distract the support base, trying to do so by placing anonymous lengthy posts in a medium where anything over 20 words is hardly read by more than a dozen people sounds a pretty fruit and nut method of choice to me.

What of all the thousands who supported the Pledge, and the fundraising and the rest? Were they all part of the conspiracy too?

Finally, what is it you claim I am dismissing? I would think I might be the only poster on here who has consistently supported Omar Khan and his efforts to have an open investigation into why the club, i.e. the old company, went tits.'"

In order;
1,The amounts and emphasis placed upon them, were much higher than the actual amount,

2, An employee of the club (if Bullseye is OK, I'll name him) sought out Bulls supporters and posters on RAB and the T and A website to spread information that he wasn't prepared to stand behind (most likely because it wasn't true),

3, A poster (if Bullseye is OK I'll name him was demonstrated to be an agent of the above.

4, They did it to create a narrative which explained their failure so they weren't held to account and drummed out of the club. See your thread about Steve McNamara.

5, You're dismissing the significance of the above in the current state of the club.
