I must say I'm with Dancing in that if the club said nothing about anything, fans could handle that, but it is the "random" leaks that give a bit of a story and can sometimes be traced back to the club itself ........ that cause rumours and give scope to speculation as both decent people and the badly-motivated try to make sense of the situation.
The buy-out really should be secret until it is at least at the stage of completion. If we ever reached the point at which the fans owned the club THEN total transparency in all matters would be appropriate .......... but as things stand ....... well all that happens is speculation is manipulated to create controversy, news and further speculation from which only the media and speculators benefit.
And of course it doesn't help that the club is pointlessly secretive on unimportant matters like what's happening with Brewster and Briggs ...... so they're training everybody to speculate on everything!
