Just googled Kuwait

"To travel from England to Kuwait, you generally fly southeast."

Should have pulled him up on that. Cant believe I didnt back then.

Even "look east" was fookin wrong in the end

Pretty much it

Used to play us all off in pms as well to get info as well. I used to go along with him a bit. A few days later hed be calling me a hater again for picking him up on something

I reckon very occasionally he got a small bit of info from random places in amongst a load of manipulation of others and just vague statements that could have meant anything

He had guaranteed on here we had been sold about 6 to 9 months before it happened. To new owners who were going to be amazing for us. We then had about 3 different consortiums come along and be given priority to buy (prefferred bidder status) he then had to somehow pretend each one was the one he told us had already done the deal 6 months earlier.

And he had a group of followers who incredibly swallowed every word he said and he managed to hoodwink them that when Fawaz eventually bought us this was who he had promised 9 months earlier 😄

Anything said by anyone at the club like Mark Arthur or John Pye etc that contradicted Joms story that we were already sold led to him calling them haters and becoming one of my "chums"

And he could never disclose who the owners were he had promised had already bought us hence his comments

Look East but dont rule out the Irish or the Yanks.

Something like that😄

I dont doubt he may have known someone at the club and got the odd bit of info back in the old 606 days, but once he started to become 'known' as an ITK his ego just exploded and he became delusional.

He also bought people's admiration by paying for hospitality boxes at games which he'd invite other forum members to. I think FF59 was one of those which I presume is why he wont hear a bad word said about Jom.

I vaguely recall Jom asking Apollyon/Banger if he knew where I sat at the CG because he wanted to find me and give me a good hiding, all because I'd called him out on his BS.

Me and several others were also lucky enough to receive threats of legal action from him back on 606.

But here we are still talking about him 14 years later. You cant deny that the bloke is a Forest forum legend

I was able to break new signings before they happened.

Some i did with cryptic clues

Got them all right apart from Whittingham who the club thought they had got but it fell through last minute.

Jom absolutely loved it when that happened.

Will all the posts still be on here

Definitely not me

Near the end of Fawaz I remember walking somewhere near the club shop to watch an anti fawaz protest

It wasnt much of a protest. Seem to remember someone letting a firework off

He would have claimed victory with buyers from any longitude between Norwich and Japan. When you throw in the Irish and the yanks going the other direction you've more or less got the whole world in your hands.
(Like Peter the keeper with nothing to do.)

FF59 i totally understand you met Jom and he was a nice guy in person. Im sure if I had met him I would have got on with him

My biggest fallouts with him were me pointing out loads of shite stuff that was happening behind the scenes under Fawaz

He had bigged up Fawaz from before he even became owner and just stood behind everything he did

I was pointing out stuff about how naive Fawaz was and money issues paying bills. Interfering with team selection. Trying to get kuwaitis into the pre season friendlies. Telling scouts to fake kuwaiti scouting reports to get signings approved in tribunals.

And this was all described as a "shrewd businessman at work"

The thing was in all the back and forth I knew my stuff was correct as I had direct contacts working in the club having to deal with it all.

Whereas Jom was just clinging on to Fawaz being as great as he had promised

It went further back than even Fawaz because Jom had told us all about an amazing new owner coming our way. But he had got that wrong as well as fawaz wasnt even in the picture when jom had promised how good he was. There was another ownership group that were given priority. At some stage john Pye confirmed this at which stage i found out I was chums with John Pye as well as Mark Arthur. And they were all haters because nobody was backing up joms stories.

Occasionally i had pleasant chats with jom by pm. Next day he would be using stuff i had told him as his inside info and calling me a hater again. He was a master at work

Basically whether he was a nice guy in real life i have no argument with. But on here I knew 100% he was a bullshitter as back then I had contacts inside the club telling me exactly what was going on. And he quite clearly to me was just blatantly making stuff up all the time.

In the end it all played out and there was no doubt Fawaz was the naive clown and the furthest from a shrewd businessman you could get

Looking back now that period was like a comedy every day

I speak as I find. Never had a reason to disrespect the bloke particularly as he isn’t here to defend himself.
