Until you block people on X for even asking a question of your validity.....
No disrespect at all but you are clearly a very knowledgable guy however not everyone has to take what you say as gospel.

No disrespect at all but you versus @slbsn is a massive case of False Equivalence when it comes to this subject.

You have to seriously wonder about people who need that explaining to them.

Well, quite:

"However, for some time, the vacuum has been filled either with wild speculation, outright nonsense/false information or the sort of stuff/anonymous people I would block on Twitter - stuff I don't need to hear and don't want to respond to but that I do because it is too difficult to ignore here. Plus muting is crap on this platform."

Was asked if there was a reason for no interactions here for a few days on the back of a couple of posts. The reality is not very interesting and I wasn't planning to interact further but I realise I should make one thing clear so people don't jump to conclusions from my absence.

I haven't had any update since last week so I don't know if the parties have the decision as of Friday on - certainly nobody has suggested even a rumour that is out to me. My absence is simply that after the latest round of "comments", I realised that this place is a waste of time for me right now - no disrespect as not everyone is here for the same reasons.

There was a time when there was some good testing of the case - both what it was and what the likely outcome could be. However, for some time, the vacuum has been filled either with wild speculation, outright nonsense/false information or the sort of stuff/anonymous people I would block on Twitter - stuff I don't need to hear and don't want to respond to but that I do because it is too difficult to ignore here. Plus muting is crap on this platform. And on top of that we know who some of the lurkers are.

Anyway, bottom line is I get nothing out of this forum, so it just becomes distraction and an irritation. People know where I am on Twitter and I will take a look at what is discussed once we get the decision - crowd analysis on that will be useful as it will be long and detailed.

And yes, I still believe it is imminent because it must be.

No disrespect taken Dave but where have I ever professed to knowing anything about 115? I haven't so that's that point taken care of. He has blocked plenty of people who have asked genuine honest questions yet allows certain commentators to continually slate our ownership, our quote 'financial doping' etc with out pushing back. I always ask myself why?
You dont bite the hand that feeds you do you..
I have no issue with Stefan but when I wonder if he gets renumerated for his slots on Talksport etc?
I dont need to validate anything Dave about myself. I am an expert in ignoring the media noise and guesswork. I await the verdict along with everyone else but when this is all over whichever way it falls it wont affect my love or my support of City.I do wonder however if Stefan will still dine out with his mates at certain radio stations? Good luck to him but he doesn't like any sort of challenge or questioning of his validity which is fine. 'I dont get anything out of this forum'..his words not mine. So basically us peasants aren't as bright as him but hey ho as I say,good luck to him.

Don’t let the few who think they know it all, win.

Does nobody else know that he has been made partner and head of sport at a London law firm? I don't need anybody telling me that he has invested all this time developing in-depth knowledge and a media presence for the benefit of us on here. It was always obvious what was going on, I said it as soon as he appeared in the media. He even agreed.

As I said, good luck to him. He identified an opportunity, went for it and succeeded. He is clearly much smarter than your average "expert". But let's not pretend he sacrificed all his time just to inform us on here. Dear Lord.

And I get that he probably doesn't have time any more to deal with the shit on here. Although a sense of humour and a little humility may have helped. And announcing it as a waste of his time probably didn't.

One final final reply to the inevitable sniping which also led to what I said earlier. These replies questioning my motives, some desperate attempt to reframe what I said, claims of a lack of humility, some kind of allegation about an unreasonable pursuit of money, some suggestion I should try and correct every anti-City comment on a national radio station, some ludicrous suggestion that I block everyone who disagrees with me on Twitter and all the others in the few hours since I posted are the point. I can't be arsed with all the comments/attacks when there is little except some very nice comments from a small number of appreciative people to balance the negativity.

That is what I mean re "waste of time" for me and that "I get nothing [positive] out of it". Neither were about the intelligence of people here or about money. Obviously. And for fucks sake.

Over and out.

Sorry to see you go Stefan! Always enjoyed your posts on here. Keep up the good work

Well done you clowns. Really looking forward to your informed input on this thead in the future.

Some people never know just how much damage they cause with their offensive comments and yet when challenged, just go even further and prove their level of ignorance and stupidity.
 
I think some of us (me sometimes) don't realise that for Stefan it can at times feel like a pile on, with loads of notifications he tries to respond to, so his responses can be abrupt and sometimes exasperated.

I think sometimes Stefan doesn't realise that when you as an individual make one comment, his response sometimes seems rude because of how exasperated he is it at other people.

I have benefited from his understanding of process and what's to come, but that said, at the moment there is little for him to add as there is no news.

Good luck to him outside of here and I hope he returns to share his knowledge when the result is out. "Imminently".

The belief that Stefan goes on Talksport for the money is so ludicrous it’s actually annoying it needs pointing out.

The guy is a successful lawyer. Clearly he doesn’t require Talksport to pay the electricity bill.

Biting the hand that feeds him? I reckon he could probably just about survive in life without Talksport.

Maybe, just maybe, he finds the legal aspect of sport interesting and enjoys discussing it across various forums.

Unfortunately bluemoon is no longer a forum he chooses to have these discussions. Stefan isn’t losing out by that, we are.
