Snowflake Royal Can you expand...

Is this itk stuff.

On the basis of Selles is about to walk?

On the basis the new deal is advanced, but seems they want shot of Selles.


Cardiff sniffing around, apparently.

Wouldn’t blame him.for going, at all.

Probably best to avoid any chartered flights to get there though.

Elm Park Kid Could possibly have both a new owner and manager by this time next month . . .

No, i'm just speculating given the Cardiff news and exclusivity.

You can't really be 'ITK' when the guy making the decisions doesn't share his thinking with anyone at the club. I'm just hearing the same stories about legitimate, solid (not HK) potential buyers and deals that are basically already done. If this wasn't the third time I would get excited - but who the oxf*rd knows if Dai will move forward with them or not.

Can't help but feel that someone writes a half sentence on a social site, a bot picks it up and uses chatGPT to flesh out an 'article' on it (which is mostly just fluff and rewording, to make it sound like they're ITK). Then other bots pick it up and do the same. In that fleshing-out process, the wording becomes a bit vague and certain details are hinted at, that weren't ever in the initial comment. Eventually, we have what looks like a fully fledged takeover ready to go, when in reality, Bob Jenkins was overheard telling Shaun Smith at the Shoulder of Mutton, that his mate at the club had seen someone he didn't recognise walking into the chairman's office. 2024, what a time to be alive, huh?

Just goes to prove that the internet is just a load of bots, and bots usually produce a load of ****

The only reliable source for a successful takeover is an official press release by RFC, covered by BBC / Sky Sports story on a takeover that has been completed. Anything else should be treated as light entertainment.

I once considered programming a bot that would follow you around HNA replying to everything you post with the response "that's the stupidest thing I've ever read" but, actually, this one wasn't too bad. Well done mate.

We had a bot many years ago that used to post: 'Oster on for Little' pretty much in every match.

Exactly my take on it too, has been since the whole sorry saga started.

I know Hiram. He is very much not a bot, and his user name is, in fact, he legal name.

I can also confirm that the only thing he ever says in real life as well as on here is "I agree." Which is useful, because you can trick him into always getting the beers in when in the pub, by saying "I believe, Hiram, that's it's your round again."
