I think it was more the fact he kept interrupting Guilfoyle when he was trying to put his message across. He came across as nothing more than a heckler.

But yes, the man clearly said some things to suggest he was more than just a heckler.

Aaron, maybe he was struggling to understand why Guilfoyle kept saying there was nobody showing any interest, when he clearly had a strong view to the contrary?

The Greenwoods guy specifically mentioned their Chinese owners, yes. And I am assuming these were the Chinese gentlemen we saw as guests of the directors at Odsal earlier in the season. The ones we all said we hope they are potential investors.

I remember when you stated that, maybe there is some truth.

Could this be a defining day?

Maybe so, I agree with what you're saying don't get me wrong.

What probably annoyed most people, is that he seemed to be very proud of the fact he knew of two investors, but would not divulge into who they were when pushed by people.

Well the guy (a director, I think) from Greenwoods confirmed once and for all that Hood and Duckett DID have a £1/2m prospective investment under negotiation, didn't he? For all those on here who were so adamant Hood was lying. He stated categorically - once he was finally allowed to have his say instead of being shouted down from the front - that he had been in discussions with Hood then with Duckett about a £/12m investment.

He said he knew for a certainty that there were TWO parties who had been interested in investing, who had been trying to talk to Guilfoyle since last Wednesday.

So unless you think the guy was lying, there I suggest is your confirmation that there WAS something behind the previous board's assertions?

I must admit, I found it distasteful and disappointing how certain people tried to shout the guy down and almost deride him. Then, when Guilfoyle asked him to say who he was, and why he felt in a position to make the statement he was, and he did, I wonder if those people felt pleased that they had tried to should down a guy seemingly looking to pay £1/2m?

Hey, if it turns out to be true I'll retract my statement. Kind of getting mixed messages, it seems to me that Aaron is saying that he was coy and wanted to keep things confidential and here you are saying that he identified himself and confirmed discussions. I dont know because I wasnt there.

Oh, he identified himself. It's just that he kept several cards close to his chest.

He was asked who these investors were after he'd banged on about them in front of everyone for ten minutes, only to reply that it was 'confidential'. Which only serves to infuriate people further, in my opinion.

So if we had 800k on the table only last week, and 500k from 'Greenwoods', whats the problem?
