deyres42 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I can't believe I'm even typing this - but it's totally possible that the Chinese millionaires asked for Corney to take them to Nando's cos they like it. The lack of any mention of them in the Chron is very interesting - and in my opinion would only happen at the request of the club. Chron have an constant downer on the club, love being the bearer of bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just out of interest what are the Chron supposed to report? It's not like they make up all the :censored: that happens and I think as an owner SC gets off very lightly were the local rag is concerned. Keegan seems to have a bit of needle with the club but I think Matt Chambers and Simon Smedley are more than fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I'd expect them to at least refer to "important guests from China" or something like that a few pars into a story. They wouldn't have to lead the story on it, but a mention of it would be expected as it is a talking point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Why go to nandos when u have a master chef working for u. I find that bit hard to beleive. Not top of my list to take multi millionaires I can't believe I'm even typing this - but it's totally possible that the Chinese millionaires asked for Corney to take them to Nando's cos they like it. The lack of any mention of them in the Chron is very interesting - and in my opinion would only happen at the request of the club. It was clear they were going dining in the OEC in the evening, pretty sure they would ahve known this in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Getting my hopes up, I suspect the Chron have been asked to hold off running anything for now with the promise of an exclusive once a deal is over the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't have to lead the story on it, but a mention of it would be expected as it is a talking point. But unless an "official source" mentions the guests how would they justify repeating what is basically just a rumour? I know some publications wouldn't bat an eyelid but repeating a rumour is hardly journalism, and I doubt the Chron has the resources to back it up with a thorough investigation.

Matt Chambers hasn't even tweeted about something that fans saw with their own eyes and NNN referred to on here, responding to BP1960 - I'm sure he must know at least as much as Mike Keegan... who has tweeted about it.

leeslover Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 About whether two unknown Chinese guys like Nandos? I'll start asking but it could take a while to find them. Maybe The Trust can clarify all this....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) About whether two unknown Chinese guys like Nandos? I'll start asking but it could take a while to find them. No, not just that. It's this lack of attention to detail that get's The Trust such a bad rep...... Whether they like Nando's. Whether it was Corney's idea or their's to go to Nando's. Whether they also ate in the OEC Whether they knew ahead of time that they'd be eating in the OEC. Dependant on the answer to the last point did they (or Corney, if Nando's wasn't their decision) decide to also eat in Nando's before or after they knew they'd also be eating in the OEC?

Kusunga_Is_God Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) What Corney said to us was that they were potential investors and we asked are they likely to invest or take over and Corney said - along the lines of- we don't know, you never know we'll just have to wait and see but they're interested.

If Mr Corney is telling a group of people who he wouldn't know from Adam (apart from NNN) important confidential information that is insane. If doing so is a reason not to record what was meant to be a free and open public discussion then so much the worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
