If you consider Peter Sharpe's rather laid-back efforts to convince Mason that he should come over for 'a bit of fun' as 'practically begging' then you have a rather odd definition of the term.

Signed for Rovers, debut on Sunday. Turned Hull down (in 2007). Both of these are facts (well the debut bit is speculative for now!).
As a matter of ettiquette, should I capitalise the word "fact"?
We won't believe you if you don't.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

There is no evidence to say Parasol have put any money into Rovers other then on a sponsorship front.

There is, fcimp has a taped conversation of Crossland asking Hudgell how much money he wants to keep us afloat until October.
It's on the other side of the tape where Agar says to Keenan; "Mason? (yer know) Nah mate don't (yer know) want him, going to (yer know) get Phelps and (yer know) Obst to play in the (yer know) back row for us (yer know) next season.
