It better not be Holt, taking the last seat on the life raft as the SS Swindon Town begins to sink.

edit - forget this then.

in my opinion starnes was unfortunate to be thrown into the spotlight when devlin was off sick.

his resignation speaks volumes for what is going on.

Even Bob wants the sale to go through I think.

Not ever spoken to Starnes, but he did seem to actually give a fuck about the job, even said a few words to kick of the Swindon Shuffle at the CG which was quite late in the evening

Starnes isn't too bad, don't hate him no where near as much as the others, i wonder who else is going to be resigning? Get out of our fucking club seton/james/diamond mike, you are not fucking welcome here.

Starnes seemed to be a nice man a little out of his depth. He's obviously seen sense and left. Any chance he might spill the beans you reckon?

You're probably right about Bob Si, but the way he has spoke to some fans in the past has been entirely out of order.  Again going back to that fans forum he was a rude arrogant prick that night.

Limited company, limited liability. He's OK.

To be honest, you don't hear much from Starnes, he just seems to get on with his job. Which is how it should be.

Oh yeah not denying that. Was just pointing out that even he looked very pissed off tonight on the telly.

Bob's quite a likeable villain to be fair. I swear he purposefully puts little bits in the statements just to wind some of us up. It would be a hell of a lot less interesting if he didn't.

He's someone you can bounce fun off, not like that big giant D-hole which has made a living by selling off other peoples souls.

so i presume its limited to the value of ones initial investment, thats a bit shit.  however, if you had just put a vastly inflated price tag on said holding, would a court be able to show thats what it was worth ?  or probably thats why bob made a point of saying the directors weren't shareholders.  meh, rambling now.
