I am not saying whether he should or should not get his loans back, what I am trying to say is that it is just another example of him bending the truth to make himself look good.

Surely so are a lot of the people criticising him.
For some reason not giving every personal or financial detail is lying.

I didn't say that he lied regarding this, he just hasn't been exactly straight with the truth.

The way some posters are looking for dishonesty where there's zero evidence of any, is frankly disgusting and they should grow up

There is no truth to be straight with.
He says they haven't discussed the director loans yet.
So he can't answer those questions.

I think it's fair to discuss these things with the guy potentially buying and the lawyers before Gaz from Facebook.

This all started because someone put on Facebook that he was standing in the way of the deal because he wants £200k a year for the stadium rent.....which is clearly not true. Those people have then twisted every bit of info they can to make something of it......just for personal reasons.
You won't see them when details come out to contradict their claims. They just move on to the next one.

It is, in fact, libel. I expect MC has better things to do than pursue it but I'd love to see one of the people throwing this stuff around get something to think about, personally

Yes but they are always careful to say "I heard it from a reliable source'. Not impossible but harder to challenge.
Source never revealed.

Cowardly in my opinion.

If people were to reveal their sources the it would come back on the source so people are right not to.

I have not seen the MC reply but can someone explain if we took the pandemic loan given to the RFL clubs. I was under the impression we hadn’t and made a virtue of not doing so. I don’t remember seeing any mention that this had changed but I could just of missed it depending on the media used.

I agree.....unless it turned out that source was lying. Then they should take responsibility.

Or more likely, they are the source themselves and tried to hide behind it.
