Rovers won't pay the price

[sedwardsdrfc]

is it tapping up a player if they've been told to leave? similar to Mandeville and Garrett, not really tapping up in my eyes

Grant hasn't been told to leave, he wants to leave. All they have done is the same as they do to all players with a year left to run on their contract. And that is to put them on the transfer list, not that they want them to go.

[Retdon1]

DRFC have made no approaches for any Peterborough player. No bids have been made at all so its 100% false that we wouldn't pay the asking fee.

Barry fry has said we approached them for grant. Their owner confirmed last week we had enquired about 2 of their transfer listed players... are you saying their both telling lies ?

I spoke to Gavin this morning, this came up, and he insisted we hadn't made an offer for any Peterborough player.

Probably because we were trying to tap him up going on what their owner has said!

But we weren't. They wanted to offload Grant, we didn't want him.

The Peterborough owner has just confirmed we agreed a price with them and then withdrew it.

The plot thickens!

Either silent majority is being fed rubbish from our board, or the Peterborough owners are talking rubbish. Impossible to know who to believe!

Well Barry Fry has form for talking utter tosh. Would you buy a second hand car from him?

Reading an article SE says he talked to him at length and agree he wouldn’t fit into the 442 so he agreed he could leave as he’s better in a three.

Think I would rather believe what sm tells us.

he ain't that POSH an owner --- when he bought the club he only "allegedly" paid £1  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darragh_MacAnthony#cite_ref-9

and now he's only a co-owner   for the avoidance of doubt he sold half of the club for more than 50 pence.

2nd March 2008
Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony has sold half of his stake in the League One club. Canada-based investors Dr Jason Neale and Stewart Thompson have become co-owners with immediate effect.

rumour is that the "food budget" has hit the roof at Peterborough but they certainly are making a meal out of this non deal

from what i've "been seeing" the "family silver" is being sold off there  maybe to buy a "golden geeze"r a "Marquis signing" ?

Trouble is a lot of our supporters dislike our owners that much ,they would rather believe what others say.

I think there’s more reason for GB to spin the truth than their owner to make something up out of the blue.

and want to go down the Stockport Halifax York Hartlepool Chesterfield etc route

Peterborough approached us enquiring about Marquis, they wanted to throw Grant into the pot. They were told Marquis wasn't for sale. End of.

Looks like sour grapes from Peterborough if you ask me.

[selby]

  Peterborough would have to put me on the rack and in thumb screws to make me believe anyone who employs Fry and Evans  before Silent majority or anyone else.

Interesting Gaz that you would tend to believe Barry Fry over Gavin Baldwin.

I didn’t say Barry Fry, as he doesn’t own them.  I didn’t say anything was cut and dried either. I can just see more reasons for Baldwin to spin the truth a bit rather than it being from their end.

So which party has been on social media putting across their point of view? Nothing from DRFC.

I would suggest the only ones doing spinning sit 100 miles south of us.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Peterborough are trying to get rid, they've got every reason to try and make it look as if there's interest in him.

[sedwardsdrfc]

More so if Shrewsbury are making a bid if they think we're in for them too it can only help peterborough

That seems a little bit like dancing on the head of a pin Gaz.

You seemed to suggest that you would believe what was said by the owners of Peterborough Utd rather than believe what was said by those in charge of our club.

Or am I misunderstanding?

[sedwardsdrfc]

Gaz is saying we'd have the most to gain by not telling the truth if an offer was made and we pulled out not that he believes peterborough, i mean he might but thats not whats been said

[RedJ]

What would we have to gain though?

[sedwardsdrfc]

Ask Gaz, seems to me they'd have more to gain by drumming up "fake" bids on their players when other teams are making bids...

[idler]

Maybe DF was sounding a player or two of theirs out.

[silent majority]

No, he wasn't.

[idler]

Maybe Peterborough trying to unsettle JM then.

[Boomstick]

I know who I believe.
SM claimed we had no bids for marquis, right before Mcann and the Aberdeen chairman confirmed there had been bids.

something really is quite fishy at the club

[Boomstick]

DRFC have made no approaches for any Peterborough player. No bids have been made at all so its 100% false that we wouldn't pay the asking fee.

aye right, you also said we hadn't had bids for marquis

We haven't had any bids, we've had enquiries but no bids. Its quite simple really.
