I thought that was quite mild really compared to threads when I first starting viewing this site.
It also reminded me how much Sonic hated my guts then, doubt if there has been any change.
I wondering whether Maverick still harbours feelings of Mike-Love. I don't miss those days. One bit. Dell - you wound me up something proper back then, but you're alright now. |

Was that the guy who pretended to be in the know about the take over/everything else, pissed off most town fans but had his picture and home address listed under the same user name on another website?

What was really shocking was the huge number of people who fell for his bull shit on the Adver site. Just shows what a bunch of morons they are

To be fair to Reg, it did look distinctly shakey at times due to "certain individuals connected to the club" (was that how Wise put it?) who seemed determined to fuck any hope of salvation if it didn't involve them getting the massive pay-off they felt they'd richly deserved. As opposed to the tarring and feathering they actually deserved

To be fair to Maverick he was never actually pro Diamandis.
But looking back it's great now that we have a club that is run properly etc etc. However, back to the original post we still need a "watching brief" in case someone else ever comes in, hence the need for the Trust to maintain & increase influence / shareholding.
I bet two/ three years ago any one of us would have swapped our owners then for Mandaric who was at Portsmouth.
Would we now though ? I think not

I bloody wouldn't. I think we were all pretty wary of the dangers of the "Anyone But Diamandis" factor and rightly so - look where that's got Portsmouth, to use the same example |

It'd be interesting to know what would have happenned if the BEST lot had taken over, I'm not sure that they were the most upstanding of chaps. |

Lovely use of understatement Nemo. I think a quick look at the Notts County thread, except without the intial hope or any payment of debt would be a reasonable guide |

Weren't they looking at Tranmere or somebody like that just after us? I'd love to know the whole story behind them too.
I particularly liked the fact the previous board made a big thing about the proposed Trust backed investor being "american and not a fan of the club" when trying to uncover Bill Power. Only for themselves later to reveal Jim Little as the front man for their preferred takeover!
Still thank gos those dark days are gone now.

Coventry, Tranmere and a couple of others IIRC. But I think Jim Little bailed shortly after they left us. He's back in PE in the US now I think, I'd imagine the rest of the Portugeezers have gone back to being dodgy agents |
