He's probably been disciplined by VM for screwing up. Quite right too.

There was nothing to actually say he worked for VM and also to say it was

Indeed as it could easily be someone on this forum who used another name to post and cover his tracks.

So you think he was just making it up, then? I suppose that is possible. But it sounded credible information at the time.

Was it credible though as he had not posted for quite a while before then and then suddenly out of the blue decided to post huge headlined information that would set the tongues wagging and the minds thinking without any credible source to back it up.

Could it have been a VM plant (cue jokes) to find out the strength of feeling for/against BT Sports and what price would be acceptable?

Possible but unlikely in my mind gba.

Normally im not to call someone a lier but as he hasnt been back on and posted then maybe this time he did lie. If he didnt have anything to hide then why stay away?

denphone · 03-08-2013, 21:31

He did lurk in the background a few days ago on this forum but he did not come out into the open to post again.

What may have happened is as follows:

1. VM 'accidently' put a board up on their TV platform indicating that BT Sport is coming soon. Bomber AF reveals the strategy. This leads to BT deciding that VM has breached the confidential agreement reached between them and reneges on the arrangement to provide BT Sports on 1 August. After all, VM viewers had become convinced that they would get the channels from day 1, so they were not inclined to jump ship to BT.

2. Then there is all the hysteria on this thread about how dreadful VM are for not bringing us BT Sport, with people threatening to ditch the platform. This just encourages BT to wait a bit longer in the expectation that those who are impatient will come over to them. BT have nothing to lose by waiting.

So perhaps we should all just shut up about this and calm this thread down. While BT see the amount of anger on here it will just keep the interim window open to try and get more customers.

So if anyone on here really is thinking of jumping, could they please do so now rather than just whingeing on about it. Once the thread calms, perhaps BT will relent. But not before, IMHO.

If you really want the channel here before the 17th, Mum's the word. Ignore the agitators that are just trying to stir you up.

Totally agree, well said.

I somehow doubt that BT are reading or even have knowledge of this forum and then making decisions based on this thread. If that was true surely Virgin Media would be contacting the forum to take these posts down.
