Gonzo I hope you are right 

Weathers a bit shit in Dubai so I’d go elsewhere as well

Ken as just been playing for time and hoping something will turn up can’t see any alternative to liquidation now once  the season is over and there is no income coming in bar a concert  And another court date looming 

If wages aren't paid, ground staff might fuck it off, and the concert might not happen.

Not sure they'll be able to hire private firm as no fucker will touch it with a barge pole.

Talk is that James, Warburton, and other creditors buying ED loan, and putting the club into admin, then sell it in admin, well that was a theory put to Iles, to which he replied, that is the situation as he understands it

The Warburtons will no doubt end up making some dough out of it when it goes into admin.

But surely the King of Bahrain owns that debt, and is only not calling it in due to the fact that Bassini has tipped him a couple of million, out of the money that the Sultan of Ping has lent him, secured against a bedsit in Cricklewood ?

He's got BWFC at heart and he's fairly well connected.

I always fancied having Peter Kenyon on board - i know he's a red, but he knows a lot of people in the game and he knows people with deepish pockets.

Man U + Chelsea seemed to start signing the really big players when he was around - Van Nis, Drogba etc

If we end up liquidated or in admin, I hope to fuck Anderson gets taken down with us.

Howard , greatest fisherman ever on here.

I don't think that was his mission, he seemed to know his legal shite and he did seem to have some inside info and he put a lot of time and effort during his short spell on here.

Having said that, i don't think for a minute that he was a PR man for consortium serious about buying us.

Quite what his agenda was, maybe we'll never find out.

 

You know how I'm not bothered about anybody else, except Bolton Wanderers, and I just wish it was all over.

Well I've not had the patience to read all this, so can someone please give me a short precis of how Howardgate turned out? Did he get rumbled as a baddie, or bullshitter or what?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

I deffo think he inside info and was involved with a particular party. Maybe just not as involved as he made out and I think he underestimated the knowledge of a few other posters and onlookers from twitter etc.

He didn’t like being taken to task on his figures, which suggested to me he was receiving loose and maybe embellished info from Someone involved and spinning it all as fact.

Dont think he was made a fool, just not as bang on as folk first thought. As soon as he started chucking shit about, even the most ardent anti kenners from elsewhere tore it to pieces which says everything.

Theres only John Galt on here that knows the truth but he/they seemed more interested in defending themselves than offering people a full explanation as why the club is dying from within at a rapid rate.

Even the debate and bad feeling on here and twitter seems to be turning in to  United apathy and panic is slowly starting to take hold.

I always thought ken was doing his upmost to keep the wolves from the door to the club running therefore covering his own pocket. A total crook, but our only crook and it actually worked for a bit. The shit hit the fan when Eddie died and any sellable asset gone.

But he’s given up either because he knows there’s an end and someone is gonna either buy us or one the local big wigs are gonna bail us out with admin and go from there. Or he just doesn’t give a fuck and we’re heading for admin. 

Whatever Happens, it’s the time for unity. No I told you so’s, no age old debates and shit slinging, What’s happened has happened, if he has screwed us over and it’s not just mismanagement because of lack of funds I’ll eat humble pie for backing the only show in town, but nobody can be blamed for doing that. 

Bang on gonzo! 

My main worry is this season we, as a fan base, have had no stomach for the fight. Rather than get behind the team and try and push on for the odd win or draw or whatever people have just stopped going to the game. 

I think that unity you want is going to be defeated by apathy. 

We as a fan base have stomached some proper shit going back really to when Freedman was in charge though haven't we , it has just got steadily worse and folk are just fed up with being served up shite football week in week out ......If the team were battling and showing some fight and will to do their best for the club maybe more supporters would as well.....Maybe not  but it would help.

Thanks Gonzo. More or less as I thought.

I'm only a council school lad, and some of the financial stuff was making my head fall off. 

As I have said before, I'm not bothered about the nuts and bolts of it, I just want my club back.If I know it's going to be next season I can wait, but stumbling from one wobbly step to another is (as the young might say) doing my head in.
