That Ramsden guy is well known on twitter. 

 

Think at at one time he was a moderator/editor on there and could delete unsavoury posts.

New to the forums, hi all.

Just seen a post on Twitter, this time from someone saying apparently the Admins are starting to pack up their stuff. Make of it what you will.

That's all I'm waiting on bud, learnt to ignore the "fuds" as Nixon puts it.

If it were the case that KA had taken £550K (or the £525K mentioned in the BL accounts) for his own use in 2017 when, despite ED writing off  £198m, Burnden Leisure still had creditors due in one year of £38m, every ounce of newspaper bile would be more than justified. But is that what really happened?

KA remained dependent on ED support until ED's last living breath in September 2018 and its hard to see how the club would get through to Christmas 2017 without ED coming up with  substantial cash support between June and December 2017. So would ED have countenanced such a payment to KA? Most unlikely imo but in any case we know from the Inner Circle accounts that KA had to find £472K to gain control from Holdsworth and prevent foreclosure by Blumarble, without which ED's hopes or ambitions of a solvent sale would have been crushed. In due course a solvent sale would prove impossible even with Holdsworth out of the way.

Its interesting, albeit not new, that journos have a tendency to grasp dubious simplicities and prone to be easily led.

What level of confidence do you have in the published accounts?

Pretty confident  about the great bulk of it over the last twenty years. There are one or two areas involving transactions with Holdsworth and Anderson that might have been explained more fully. I suspect these have intentionally been left a bit woolly.

Buying the club that he intended to sell on for a large profit counts as 'his own use', no?

In any case, why do you think Ken has never clarified this? The only time he's ever spoke of the 525k was to say that part of it was a bonus he paid himself for promotion.
