Fun facts (with a caveat they may not be fun, or facts).
I knew a Jason Lane at school, he was pretty good at football and I believe remained involved in youth coaching in the Town. He was best mates with Andy Minturn, dad of of our Minturn, who was also very good at football and on the youth ranks at STFC with Jimmy Fraser (of Chelsea today) and all played in the same school team as Wayne Hatswell.
My caveat is in the event this is not the same Jason Lane, in which case my post is even less pointless than it is already.

Never quite sure on this one. Able were clearly a real thing connected to real people with real money. Some people claim "yeah but it was just a front for Power!" but why would the owners of the Boston Celtics have indulged a washed up third rate spiv like him?
And the Trust/Clem fanboy angle of making out like they may not even have existed was equally odd.
We will likely never know the truth one way or another. We are stuck with Clem, for better or for worse.

Able were register as AC Sports. (Or something similar) Isn’t now common knowledge the AC stood for Andrew Curran? |

As understand the legalities of the Morfuni v Power v Able didn’t Clems brief piss all over their brief in the end hence the claim for that £100k was thrown out? Or am I missing something?

They did but people are angry with Clem and the trust so it makes sense to get the rumour going again. Like Mooney says, if you don't agree with people like him and others you are clearly a Clem or trust fanboy.

There is a very clear way to see that Able was all bollocks - in the two years since, not a single EFL club has had a sniff of interest from them.

Complete dearth of information on Able when the name first popped up.
Zero effort to get the fans on board with potential sale at the time.
Compare & contrast with the Fitton consortium.
Seemed all very back of a fag packet totally in keeping with the Power way.
Don't think that very many were taken in by the prospect of shiny new American owners.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Not quite what I said... Are there Clem/Trust fanboys? Yes. Is everyone who disagrees with "people like me" one? Obviously not. |
