The Three Pasoti Backers

Nooly comes across as the last one to be picked for a footy team at school.

What does it matter if they exist or who they are.  Does not change anything,  bit of a non story.

You have to ask why somebody would put out such a story?

Sounds to me the story has been sexed up, as people do. Still, not the slightest bit sexy yet though. Needs another pig.  
It will be interesting if Nelson goes or stays in the Summer, as that is the other casual scoop still to be ratified by the Great Truth commission.
50% of facts 100 years ago are no longer facts. Fact. Or at least that's what the great scientific stattos say. And they're never wrong, are they ?

If there is anything in the '3 backers' story then it could be that one or more of the three( plus Newell as the front man) has persuaded Dave Gadd, as the original and long-time sole owner, to relinquish 50% of the ownership. They could have dangled a grand or so in front of him and convinced him that it would be a good move for PAFC Brent & Newell the site.

For me though, what's far more interesting is that this thread has been allowed to stay when it was sent by someone using a Proxy.

I agree there Czarky. I think the next time ATD has a forum open to guests ( maybe when we get promoted to the premiership ), those guests should post direct from a normal IP. Well, unless they're undermining Nool.
You live and learn I guess. A good idea from the moderators though. If you can't let the guard down just before going to Wembers, when can you.

If the mods know something then they should let on in the spirit of ATD, all this smacks soooo much of the playground it's untrue.

No inside knowledge here.

We've taken the decision to relax things a little in this week of all weeks. Currently, and thankfully, we've not had to intervene too much (although some of the personality shenanigans are wearing a tad) - the good old ATD light touch.

Back to usual rules next week

IF there is any truth in the OP what I'd like to know is who lent Jamesy the money to buy his stake?

Oh for the glory days when staff were forbidden to look at PASOTI at HP.

I wonder if a similar dictat exists now for ATD...now that would be a worthy achievement.

The second part of my post regarding the playground was aimed the thread not the mods btw. Its a rumour, that's all, a pretty crap rumour but a rumour no less.

So lets get this straight...

Is Gadd still an owner?  If so, how many others apart from Gadd?  Or are they just 'backers'?  And if 'backers' define the term?

I can't. I don't have any more detail.

All I have done is use the language as it was used in the conversation. The interpretation is up to you.

I took it to mean backer as in "reference giver" but that was an assumption on my part and it could mean something else.

You pair meeting up for a spot of lunch and a drink Pre-Wembley?

That'd be fun.

He could lie about me to my face then.

Don't believe it, why would Nool need backing from them? For starters Jones is the only one with any money and the site only cost a grand, or so I heard.

Why would Nool need backing from anybody at all? It's not like he needs the money or references to buy Pisspoti.  Gadd has known him for ages.

No...  It's just some bullshit put out there by SFD to make it look like he knows something we don't.  
At best...  He's been fed a line, fell for it, and as always, isn't a big enough man to admit he's wrong and been had.

Which is why he will never release the names of the so called backers.  They would sue his fat arse for libel.

SFD is just bitter and envious that Gadd refused his attempt to buy into the site years ago when he was a mod.

How is what SFD is claiming even remotely libelous?

Good point. I have hardly fabricated a fairy story about a party that didn't exist or an event at it that never happened with the sole intention of slagging them off.

It's not like anybody would be ashamed to be linked to Ian Newell, is it? That'd be preposterous.

No. I haven't named them because I don't know the names. If I did I would. All I know is that there is 3 of them and that they are influential in Argyle circles.

And not once have I claimed any different.

So now you've been busted hyping a load of bullshit, just exactly what are you claiming?  Have you worked it out yet?

I can't be arsed to go through your history but this has got to be the biggest U Turn in internet history.

You're back peddling like mad and it's pathetic.

You have gone from implying and selling the idea that Nool was a part owner with three others with financial involvement, to there's three guys who will stick him up for him with a good reference (as if he ever needed it).  

Nools bluster on various different forums shows that is what he believes you are trying to tell the world and he's not wrong.  It's obvious many on ATD did as well.  You did nothing at any time to correct peoples assumptions.  All this bullshit just to try and make yourself look good.  

You really are a pathetic attention seeker who will say and do anything to get it.

No wonder ATD gets a bad rap with posters like you.



PS.  How's the Syrian family doing at your house?

Ok. I'm fed up with this.

These are the three. Sorry lads, but the clue was always in the name.
You gotta say. They certainly look like influential shirts.

I think what matters here is who told SFD about Newell's backers. If people work that out they'll understand why the story has credibility.

What really matters is how businesses were so slow to catch up with the internet thing. Todd was so dumb and arrogant, he thought he'd set up his own forum with Argyle Insider.
What a disaster that turned out to be. So........ it would be hard to imagine, that these days, any high profile public business would refuse the chance to dominate the public message out on the internet. So, the new owners decided on Pasoti, and Newell was happy to deliver said forum to them. That's what he had to bring to the party. Probably collected something on Gadd in a J Edgar sort of way, just as he did with that Ottawa flying goose, and Bob's your chair. Low cunning wins the day. Something some people are loathe to employ. Well, as long as they don't start making it too personal. The rules change then.

So you've worked it out? Or you've been told?

I've not backtracked one inch.

Unlike Rickler who once posted this:

I couldn't give a toss about what Newell says about it all.

I know for a genuine, 24 carat fact that Newell was a front man for 3 others. The Pasoti mods probably don't or didn't until now. What I do not know is who they are and have never claimed to although speculating is fun.

I'm not one to normally endorse allegations without some proof, but Newell himself seems to support SFD!

In this little ditty below, taken from Newell’s own flikr account where Newell is threatening Rick Cowdery over the ATD 'meet and greet', Newell claims that “all of the co-owners would be very upset”? Surely he is not going to claim that “all” means just him and Gadd? This proves he either lied in his email to Rick Cowdery or is currently lying to the readership on Pasoti? I know where I would put my money...

Regardless... Someone somewhere, is always being lied to by Newell.

He really has no shame at all.





No wonder the thread was locked on Pasoti... Hey Greensleeves... You or anyone else got the balls to ask Newell on Pasoti to explain himself? How about you Rappo?

Somehow I don't think so.

Yes you have and you only just did it.

Now you've gone back to posting posts containing references of "co-ownership". It's not the same thing at all.

You can't decide what your story is?

Face it... You're scrambling for any cred whatsoever. Serves you right for serving up third rate Daily Mail type hearsay.
