Power must have been thick to pump in hard cash without owning any shares... Doesn't make sense
Maybe Jed in true window salesman fashion told him if he bides hiss time he'll buy one and get one free - although Hereford has gone tits up amazingly quickly

Is there any indication of how McCrory told Power he was banned? I'm assuming it isn't in writing, because if it was, you'd think Power would have a fairly interesting claim for misrepresentation by Jed and a potential criminal fraud claim. That neither of those are on the table makes me worry about the strength of his claim. This could really be very technical - it goes right to the root of contract formation.... Will be a very interesting judgment to read.

I don't know the full details, but I'm led to believe the £1.2million never actually went into the club coffers. AFAIK, it just had to be held in an escrow account so that the FL were satisfied the funds were available if required.

That sounds worryingly plausible.

That is what was announced at the time, it was like some sort of bond that the FL took hold of for a short period but gave straight back to the club after that period, it was not invested in the club but just a sort of surety bond to prove that we had the money available.

Will also be interesting to see whether the balance of opinion across the fanbase in favour of Power evaporates if it transpires that he has not committed financially to the extent that most thought he had.

He will have more of my respect if he has avoided being done over by Jed the Shyster

Seems to me that any one of us could have got hold of ownership of the club with a bit of sweet talking and a pair of bollocks.

If it wasn't our club at stake that would make hilarious reading.

Im donating a grand and a wheel. If we can get the full lot together can we tell him to fuck off as well?
