mrbelfry said:I would guess that Steve Sayer as part of the Executive Leadership Team and especially as the Chief Commercial Officer would know exactly who we are trying to sign and at what stage those negotiations are at.
However I guess any statements from him at a public event would have to be carefully regulated. If he rocked up yesterday and announced Messi was on Princess Parkway driving to COMS then that has the same effect as a statement put out by Vicki Kloss (although on a much smaller scale). My point being that he wouldn't be able to make any public pronouncement about current state of transfers. In fact I'd expect him to play them down until the decision to go public was made.
My assessment of this information depends on how much trust I put in the OP's ability to detect that Sayer was with holding info/misleading him and as I can't make that judgement I'm gonna choose to believe that it was Messi I saw buying some ski's from snow and rock. Naive I know but it gets me through the day
@Pearce_out. I'm not sure if you'd be comfortable saying but could you outline which questions the team from MCFC refused to answer?

I am just saying that not every board member is privileged to know everything that is going on, let us remember that the club is owned outright and hence their is no obligation to disclose everything to the board.
If my 'source' was just a friend of a friend of a friend then I would tend to believe what I hear coming from the club, but I stress he/they are much more than that and to be honest I am sure they will not be happy with me for posting this information!

Ok an impasse as I have said I don't believe that you are providing false information anyway. There is alot that goes on at a club like ours and there will be perceptions and perspectives that differ from one another so I can agree that what you say could be the case. I'm not here to prove or disprove anybody, just pass on what I heard with a slant of my own opinion on it.

It is a pleasure speaking to you, thank you for your respect and professionalism, I lowered myself to an embarressing level a few days ago and I intend not to do it again.
Thank you again and I am glad to see you posting your information.
Pearce_out said:No problem Ajay, I think it's important to respect other people who post sensibly and far too many times is that not adhered to on here. I am glad that we can buck that trend.

For goodness sake, chaps, what's with the civility? This is NO place for reasoned debate - where's Scottyboi when you need him?
in fact they are all mentioned 3 deals are in progress, just the stage of the deal is different to both point of view.lloydie said:Am I the only one who does NOT find P_O and Ajay contradictory? I find it totally plausible that Sayer is giving out only as much info as he is authorised to do, which I believe P_O intimated, Ajay merely states that there has been much more progress than the club is prepared to confirm at the moment.
Cheers to you both for the info btw.
