Mihangel Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 It's pretty poor journalism all round. The ground would never be bought by the ltd company, that's not their business so the Athletic is clearly inaccurate, likewise the DET should realise that..... r_wilcockson and LazloW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t expect the Clowes official to be psychic. I think what you mean is that David Clowes might not want the man at Clowes to be privy to his private transactions. A subtle but important difference and a reasonable possibility. Maybe he deliberately wants to keep it secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I mean there's absolutely zero credibility to the slop served up by The Athletic since Ryan Conway left. To those saying its David Clowes personally, read the article again, it explicitly says Clowes Development. Allegedly they refused to comment, but one phone call from a trainee reporter at a local newspaper was all it took for it to be thoroughly debunked. Well done to the Derby Telegraph. The Athletic, you don't half talk some rubbish. 100% cancelling my subscription.

Ram1988 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Was excited beyond belief earlier and now feeling flat again. If there was no truth or legitimacy surley they can't publish things like this, surley we have been through enough?

68 Guns Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 An owner of a renowned local business who knows Clowes told me he believed it was done bar the shouting. Just the usual time frames to wait for.?? inter politics, Carnero and Crewton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Potential buyers of the stadium will have likely signed an NDA and will keep quiet until the transaction is complete. Anything appearing in the press will be denied for that reason, which has just happened with Clowes. Never heard of them by the way.

Probably someone didn't have the carefully worded "cannot confirm nor deny" line to hand so defaulted to "na mate not us" Might be duff info, but, that doesn't mean someone else isn't. Still got confidant vibes. hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I was only saying that yesterday to my mate who had just flown back from his undercover work in Moscow, on his way to the love nest flat of an ex-Spice Girl. Of course he wouldn't say which one, but he was in a rush as he is a Ferrari test driver - when not doing brain surgery on babies and wrestling alligators. Fanny merchants. Why on earth would you specialise in brains surgery on wrestling alligators? WhiteHorseRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
