No the others are “safe”
Meaning if they really wanted to they could gain access but in reality theres no reason for them to bother
Your biggest asset is, like the rest of us , its just too much bother for very little reason

Its no lose m8 if sale goes through he wins, if sale fails he wins, not about making a quick buck from deposit but why not if all else fails. That’ll be his mindset.

Comment #88If some individual really wanted access to whatever digital footprint you have they would most likely get everything
Unless your very savvy or are protected via some company you can be sure its possible for a person to know just about everything
Its just that theres just no reason to bother, if you had said skills would you think they would target yourself ?

Comment #89On the takeover, there is no way the premier league can fail our new to be owners. The theory that the FA are using this to clean up the piracy issue makes some sense. I think maybe the deal is dependent on our safety, it’s interesting we didn’t hear a peep about the deal until the this whole corona hoohaa kicked off. My little theory being that people in the deal started thinking the season would be cancelled and someone let the cat out of the bag. This little charade with the FA suits all parties; the FA look like their being serious in their responsibilities and the sale can be announced once we are safe.
Not sure I agree with my own little theory, but there we go.
Can’t believe our press up in arms about the whole thing. Heaven help us if a regime with questionable human rights records gets there hands on a football club, just think of the damage they could do, thankfully we only sold them weapons to the tune of 5 billion.

Comment #92Asi,
Are you a strawberry yet or still got your I.D card?
What did you do with your 35 days resettlement?
I took mine as leave and buggered off earlier.
Still haven’t used my ELC’s yet, I really need to look at that before they expire.
I’ll say this to you without even meeting you, you’re better than what you think you are mate. Although not a reason to become complacent!
All the best with whatever you turn your hand to, good luck pal.

You’re looking at it with a common sense, non hypocritical attitude there mind. Owning a prem club in nufc is far more serious than arms deals, multi media entertainment platforns , oil and man. utd sponsorship through stc.

If you have that level of paranoia id say its best you disconnect from the internet or go look for some company to manage the risk for you
As anything you do now is traceable, from your phone to your contactless payments
Theres tech that can recognize your face even with a mask on
Meaning you dont even have to be connected to the internet for people to know just about everything about you if they chose
Theres just no point and that is your biggest safety net

Still on resettlement but taking it at home and virtually networking. Nice to have time with the family.

In the same boat ref ELC – best look at that myself.

Comment #99Ive read that its planned to have it used to do away with bank cards
You would just go to the shop and pick up what your wanting
The cameras know who you are and will charge you for what youve taken

Comment #100don’t need face paint, face masks are the way ahead. Stops covid despite virus being 100s times smaller than weave (unless its synthetic with charcoal filters) so 2 birds with 1 stone.

i think Amanda has been driving the takeover like last time in the hope she can broker a deal and get a pay day.
she’ll be pushing her Saudi friends but their heart isn’t in it unless she can convince them they’ve got a good deal.”

Comment #103Naptoon
But if he’s a serious seller and he puts off a serious buyer, he loses a £300m+ sale for the sake of a £17m deposit that will be knocked back off the eventual sale price anyway.
The only way he “wins” something he wouldn’t get anyway is if he takes a deposit, and the buyers fail the test. I can’t see that any buyer that isn’t pretty certain they’ll pass is going to risk a deposit when they could just buy a different club, so I can’t see how he stands to gain anything from this. In 12 years of supposedly trying to sell the club, has he taken a deposit yet?

Its what you thought AI was
Google are currently funding one of the worlds first civilian quantum computers to run this for them, its like something from the terminator movies
This is actually happening right now

Comment #111Naptoon,
Fair one and I see what you’re saying. Just seems like poor business sense at the very least, and is definitely an odd move if he’s serious about selling.

Comment #120Naptoon,
I do see what you’re saying, but what I’m asking is if you’d been struggling to sell something for 12 years and you genuinely wanted to sell it, would you still be asking for a large deposit?
