    One leaves it open for people to read it as that does it not?

    My point was that it was awfully worded yet again. If I had read it in isolation I would have assumed it meant he had been offered the job and turned it down.

    Yes but you don't know he's been offered the job.He's obviously been sounded out like o
    He doesn't say that in that article.One things for sure he wasn't interviewed for the job.I wouldn't class a couple of chats as an interview.We now move on.

    Possibly. But as proven here, only those in the main who are constantly digging out the club over and over.

    Some comments have been about putting this in writing. But it wasn’t in writing was it? It was spoken. So no allowance for broken English being given at all - by people who would struggle to reach Del Boy levels of another language.

    Thats my understanding. I’m not sure where people are getting a different interpretation from.

    Why would a reporter query his source if the source was a CE making a fairly unambiguous statement. If you are saying that our CEs communication skills ( in English) are so poor he cannot be trusted to communicate clearly then he either needs to speak through an interpreter or we need to appoint someone who can. In a forward facing role clear communication is pretty vital.

    The only person who's language skills you're denigrating here are Khaleds

    But did he turn a definitive job offer or the opportunity to apply?
    The phrase used could be associated with both examples but mean different things.
    Would you like the job? No is turning the job down
    Would you like to be considered for the job? No, is also turning the job down.

    Not possible. The almighty of the BBS have spoken and never shall they lose their agenda or be proven wrong. ‘‘Twas always the way.

    ‘Do you fancy going to Qatar for the World Cup?’

    By saying no you’ve turned down going to the World Cup. But I don’t have tickets, flights or hotels lined up yet.

    I'm saying nothing of the sort. Have you or anyone else on here never said something wrongly interpreted.
    I've been in investigations at work. Where the written word bears no resemblance to the spoken word. And in fact can give a total false or even opposite meaning. (A preliminary hearing takes place with HR taking notes.
    Then if necessary will go to disciplinary. With a different person. They having read the notes. Already imprinted on their mind giving a totally false account.)
    I got that fed up. With how things were being twisted. I demanded recordings.
    Reply was. We've never done that. But we'll consider for the future.
    I believe you can request it now, since I retired. Juddy G. May be able to confirm.

    I dont know the answer to the above BTW, just pointing out it could be either (or others), also of course the Chronicle quoting extracts of a conversation doesn’t allow for context if there was one.

    You can do better than that surely?

    Anyway, plenty of love to go around. Not exclusively saved for the CEO (who for info we presented to live in person at the AGM - rather than just from behind a keyboard).
