I reckon there are, but probably not stupid enough

Well that's what the anti-Anderson mob would like people to believe - and to be fair many do - but it simply isn't true.

If nothing else, Anderson's via his company Inner Circle paid something like half a million to buy Holdsworth's shares from the liquidator of SSBWFC - so if the club went bust tomorrow he's £500,000 out of pocket.  (Funny how non of the high net worth friends of the ST were nowhere to be seen when the shares were available to be bought - nor any of these billionaires so desperate to buy the club, whom Ken is apparently continually thwarting them from doing so!)

When the likes of Shortland et al, risk a half million of their own money, maybe then they'll have earned the right to criticise how KA runs his business but until they do, they should keep their untruths to themselves and be thankful we even have a club at all thanks to the man they constantly choose to despise and hate because like him or not Anderson has been the only show in town since Davies packed it in and he's turned the club around from a financial basket case to one where a sale of £30 million seems a feasible possibility, in just over a couple of years.

Fair play for him in achieving that - and backing himself to the tune of the half million he paid to get Holdsworth shares - as well.

He's taken the risks, turned the club around and got us promotion and kept us up in successive seasons whilst doing so!

Can't please all the people all the time however I guess but as far as I'm concerned he's done a cracking job and one I wouldn't have thought was even possible to achieve.

What's that old saying, those who can do, those who can't teach.

Sluffy's about right regarding the cost to Inner Circle Investments of Holdsworth's shares but it  doesn't look like it all went to Quantuma, the liquidator.

Appointed by BluMarble, Quantuma received 150,000 most of it going in fees and its not clear whether this is part of the 472,250 Inner Circle spent on the shares or in addition to it.

Anyway it all seems to coincide with the 525,000 consultancy fee, so the claims of the Anti-Anderson mob  that it went to line Anderson's pockets are almost certainly wide of the mark (if not malicious).

None of that includes all the other amounts paid to Holdsworth and his legal team to the detriment of creditors waiting to be paid.
