Who knows? Maybe they are just so used to it, they go along with it. Clearly his kids are not going to challenge him, maybe his wife/friend/brother etc are just in his thrall and go along with what he says.

Some people are just very strange. I used to work with a lady who told me confidently that she was really good friends with Björn Ulvaeus out of ABBA, she would give the "oh well Bjorn said to me, Jayne, there's no point us getting ABBA back together, we'd basically be a tribute act to our former selves...etc". She claimed to meet up with him at his gigs and other performances. Later, another lady in the office told her she was full of shit and hadn't even met him, just read interviews from magazines and websites and used his statements from these to pretend to have had conversations with him etc. Very odd.

Knowing me, knowing Dale Evans, it sounds like he's got no Money Money Money, has met his Waterloo and needs to send out an SOS.

He is worth nothing, it was obvious in what he was wearing in the photo that was took with the hatters. He is a chancing idiot that needs to be outed ASAP . I bet he is on benifits and laughing his cock off at everyone while swigging cheap cider , end the thread please as it’s fueling his fire . So many chancing idle idiots around now. It would be funny if was a proper spoof be this guys a dog fart smelling prick who got a free day out at the RICOH

Wondered how long it'd be before you got in on this pun-tastic thread....you remind me of David Brent in the Office, when, from sitting at his own desk in his room, he gets a sniff of banter from in the main office, his ears prick up, then jumps up and races across the room to get involved!

Well my surname IS Brent and I do have a goatee, have a slight tub going on and I once was in a band.

You may not be far off.

There are a few out there like that. At a pub I used to drink in, there was a bloke in there on his own most days who would chat on to you; when things got quiet he'd "slyly" tell you he used to be in the Royal Marines and had to keep a low profile in case IRA remnants came after him for "things I was involved in Northern Ireland in the 70s". One time when he wasn't around, the landlord told me his dad had known of him from years back, said that this bloke was just ex-regular army and had worked as a bog-standard driver in the logistics corps or whatever they're called, he just embellished his "undercover combat" tall tales from a basic bit of bog-standard military knowledge picked up from his uneventful truck driving out there.

Do you need a permit to burn someone to death or can you just get a mob together and crack on?

When we asked that regarding Tim and Joy, the stadium safety advisory body said no.

My mate used to drink in a pub where the local pisshead used to tell stories of how he was a top roadie to bands like Led Zep.
They all used to listen and take the piss out of him.
When he died Robert Plant came to pay his respects to his old mate.
Funny how it works out sometimes.

I've been watching this thread, and others, with a mixture of trepidation and astonishment. You see, I find myself in a similar situation to that of your team.

A long story cut short; we decided to sell our house in September this year. Within a couple of days, we had an acceptable offer, but our estate agent told us that they had booked another viewing, and to hold off on accepting the first offer. The day of the viewing came, and the prospective purchaser arrived with his family and another couple who were close friends. The viewer told me a fantastic tale of how he'd won several million pounds gambling, and was buying a house for his family, one for his parents and another for his best friend, who was viewing with him.

The viewing went well, and an offer was duly received, and accepted, as it was a good bit higher than the first offer (which we would have been happy with anyway...) I questioned the estate agent as to the veracity of his claim to have such a sum of money, and they said that they had to make enquiries to confirm.

Unable to believe our luck at finding the perfect buyer (!), we put an offer in on our dream property, and life was good. Solicitors were instructed (our buyer, the people we were buying from, and our 'purchaser' all shared the same solicitor's office; how easy this transaction will be!) and we sat back to wait for exchange of contracts.

And since then? The estate agents haven't been able to contact the buyer; he's moved solicitors several times, citing incompetence. I had one more visit from him, when all was said to be going well, but the money laundering regulations were holding thing up. His 'wealth manager' at his bank has been unable to confirm funds and I last had contact a few weeks ago when we arranged for him to come to the house to explain why things were taking so long. Needless to say, he didn't show.

To cap it all, the people who put the initial offer in are now sorted on a different property. Our house is now back on the market, as is the one that we put an offer in on. He's cost me money for solicitors fees and no small amount of heartache. My wife was pretty upset as well (understatement). I've subsequently found out that he's done this to on least three other properties, causing upset, and in at least one case, no small amount of distress. I could tell you of several other 'purchases' he allegedly made; no doubt they are all fabrications as well. I don't think I need to tell you who our dream buyer was.

Dale, if you're reading this, I don't know why you did it, or why you're putting your family through this. Thanks for opening my eyes; I'll no longer trust anyone I don't know. I think you may need help.

Anyone want to buy a nice barn conversion?

The wealth manager didn’t wear a very silly hat by any chance did he?

Isn’t it somewhat concerning that our so called saviour actually included this lunatic on his “consortium”?

Ha! So they conveniently haven't informed Mark Hornby, which conveniently means he can't deny anything.

It's very worrying. Can only assume that Hoffman took the briefest of looks over what was more than likely a photoshopped document. Not at all professional is it.

Surely as a businessman you would be giving everything a thorough once over.

OK, scrub 22nd Dec, 2nd January it is.

Presumably that's the day he'll buy that Norfolk barn conversion too.

What a fucking bellend.

If he's raised his offer by £5,000,000 I doubt they'll be enough left.

Another puzzling point is the fact that he supposedly joined the consortium to try and buy the club, but now is just talking about putting offers in all by himself and with only HIS money.

The consortium had already put in an offer that has been turned down. Why on earth would you then turn your back on the consortium and start putting your own offers in? Makes no sense at all and last time out when he said he had, had an offer accepted by the club he stated he had been having talks with Mark Hornby, yet Mark Hornby at the club said he had, had no contact with him at all.

Now, this time, conveniently for Dale Evans, the club for some reason have 'left Mark Hornby' out of the loop and therefore when Mark Hornby says he knows nothing about any new offer, Dale Evans can say 'ah, yes, that's because the club have not informed him.'

Oh, how convenient for the story.

Just to let you all know I have bought my wife a Lear jet and my two daughters a Ferrari each for Xmas.
Also have put a bid in for Buckingham Palace. I think Liz likes the offer but Phil looking for a few more million.
Happy Xmas to all you peasants.
