Which one?

Troy.

Interesting that, even in his resignation speech, he manages to confuse the issue of whether Admin is one person or not.

What a bunch of fecking idiots.

Look at this bit, for example:

I'll not reveal who Admin is because it'll cause an absolute shit storm for the people who have given him info. Jobs would be on the line and a lot of them.

Admin also uses my login details on occasion as whenever he visits the site to have a read, people see that he's on and he ends up with the motherload of PM's asking him for info on the quiet.

On the odd occasion, he receives info from the FF's...some of them have been in and around Villa Park for donkeys years and have a lot of contacts. Sometimes he gets info via people who have joined up here under a pseudonym. Some info from people who have heard things but aren't game to put their neck on the line publicly.

So, for starters, he's reverted to "admin is A person" despite the entire day people being told he's several people.

Then he's apparently used Troy's account to spread stuff, as, well, he often does, when he doesn't want PMs.

Honestly, how fucking dim do you have to be to get your story so comprehensively in knots like that? All because he forget to log out of one account and into another.

Oh, and as for this:

he receives info from the FF's...some of them have been in and around Villa Park for donkeys years and have a lot of contacts

So, that's:

Irish Villain
Eastie
Dan
Fergal

Who else?

Excuse me if I sound cynical, but that "been around Villa Park for donkeys years and have a lot of contacts" sounds a bit empty.

Thank you both.

TBAR Hall of Fame already -

"Can the Mods/FFs please sit down and get their story straight???

I saw a post earlier from Admin's account but written from Trotters' point of view.
Then Eastie says Admin isn't a real person, then he is.
Now the same from Trotters.

I like this place, but you're making it really difficult for yourselves. Just stop, you're really going to kill the forum.

"Admin" was an admirable idea, poorly conveyed. It's done now, stop with the crap, wipe the slate clean, move on."

Oh, and if anyone is in doubt of the fuckwittedness we lost to that place, here' s an example:

Malcolm Glazer won't be buying Villa and putting us in debt.

Like Randy did?

[Des Little]

It seems like a somewhat confused place to be. Almost as if they all crave the ITK status without knowing anything at all, or protecting their reputation by creating pretend users. Doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence to be honest.

[PeterWithe]

Will they all be allowed back?

[supertom]

This is how I picture "Admin" on TBAR.

[pauliewalnuts]

Will they all be allowed back?

Not a prayer.

[PeterWithe]

Will they all be allowed back?

Not a prayer.

It would be the Christian thing to do.

Oh.........

You don't see many waistcoats with such high buttons nowadays.

It's a waistcoat like that which can give you the inside track on all footballing business matters.

I may be going mad, what is this six week window? Did I read somewhere that he aimed to sell the club in 6 weeks?

Not sure that anyone has said they plan to sell the club within 6 weeks? I think it may have come from speculation that due diligence in a deal like this would typically take around 6 weeks?

On the day it was announced Pat Murphy suggested 6 weeks.  In an 'I'm told' type way.

That reminds me of an acrimonious debate between authors Kurt Vonnegut and Gore Vidal of whom the former opined: "He wants an awful lot of credit for wearing a three piece suit".

or when the Italian automotive design genius Giugiaro first saw the Triumph TR7. He walked round the car and then said 'Shit, it's like that on both sides'. In Italian, obviously.
