Moderators Carlos Posted January 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2016 In defence of Iles, he's just a provincial sports journo (not a very good one). There are numerous complicated legal and financial processes currently occurring in parallel and, although way out of his depth, he's having a go.

SalfordOriginal Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 He could also be well positioned if Sports Shield end up taking over. Backing the only horse he can, hoping for it to payout. The current board appear to be on the way out so alienating them is not going to have long last effects If Sports shield get in then he will have inside track on all future stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo gambaro Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Of course he does. But the current climate needs handling carefully. If he's spouting out what sports shield are Wanting to tell him to create unrest then this potentially has a knock on effect to folk who are in a panic about it all. He needs to remain as impartial as he can in all of this IMO. If he doesn't know the full story he should be more selective about what he puts out there. This sports shield effort looks shambolic and he could alienate himself with some of his comments Holdsworth's lot will be using him to put pressure on the club, he might be using the story to coax the club into finally telling us something of note. There might be a good reason for the absence of information, but it's very easy to mark it down as par for the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Sports shield are fronting a bid on behalf of investors. Those investors may well be looking at other options. Those options may well not involve sports shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweep Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 We should be so lucky. I reckon.there's weeks to go yet. I'm also of that way of thinking - I have a fear we will limp on until the end of the season in our current state, and then new owners will come just before the start of next season, when we've managed to lose a few more high earning players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
