Is this good news? Bad news?

I have no idea anymore.

Can only be good news, does this mean there is going to be some police raids at the CG, Dunwoody etc.

so this was the other 'issue' that fitton was told about.

why the fook would he (allegedly) be back at the club tonight still looking at taking over if this were the case??  :?

There's so many rumours on here tonight, Fitton in talks at the county ground/the club going into voluntary liquidation within 24 hours, plus this rumour which is obviously true.

Sorry must have been someone else.

Just trying to get to the bottom of things,people keep talking about their "sources" but where have all these insiders suddenly come from.Weve not heard talk of "sources" before,well only from Fatters.. Now it seems everyone has a source at the club telling them everything thats happening.

Well if Fitton was there when the OB turned up he'll still be there now.

who stopped source changing to cunt custard? That was the bestest thing I ever did.

But I'm with Yeovil, I can pick and choose who I believe from previous experience, but I can't think of anybody who's been right every time so everything's look at with a bit of suspicion.

Dam, i thought Mex's source was accurate, i was just hoping that maybe this club could be saved, so i guess this club going into voluntary liquidation in the next 24 hours rumour is false as well then.

If your source isnt a direct one then it isnt your source is it! its someone elses and that makes it hearsay but your are presenting it as fact.Currently im believing nothing that anyones saying and that includes Mex who I assume you are talking about?He could just as easily be being fed bull shit as you are.

Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you

Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating

the directors have a responsibility to pay their debts 3 failed takeovers all as a result of potential profit from a pie in the sky idea. that is criminal they have a responsibility to pay the creditors first and themselves 2nd. depends on fitton but i cant see that unless the club has gone bust then they have deliberately not put creditors before personal profit. that is criminal to some people maybe why the old bill is involved.

If, and it's still if, there has been a raid and lockdown as described you do not get that level of response for simple failure to discharge your responsibility as a director adequately.

I'm seeing a hot fuzz sort of situation. But instead of a MET policeman, I'm thinking a member of some mysterious Fraud Office, who's so good they demoted him to investigating STFC. Now he's gone mental with razor sharp paper work and origami and shit.


Title: criminal investigation
Post by: axs on Friday, December 7, 2007, 01:21:08
would the police normally raid the club at this kind of hour in this situation? seems a bit strange for corporate crimes, makes me wonder exactly what is going on.


Title: criminal investigation

i thought that. raids are usually at dawn for a reason, i assume.


Title: criminal investigation
Post by: flammableBen on Friday, December 7, 2007, 01:27:02
Yeah, it's all a bit unbelievable. Unless there is something ridiculously mental going on, like scouts pretending to act for the club but really picking up crack whores for Ash.

I can't see a crack team coming down for some financial irregularities, even if they were looking at hard core fraud. Rich people tend to get the pleasure of being arrested in there own homes. That's until the revolution comes anyway.

It's more likely that the players/staff meeting is dragging on. We need to get rid of you, you and you. And we can't pay you for the next 3 months, is that ok? Yes we know it's over Christmas... etc.

maybe they felt after the takeover going tits up now was time to strike before all the books were burnt.

break in and nick the clock behind the stratton bank or the dugout being prime targets. how much are they worth ? on ebay. maybe both dugouts could be converted into a radical conservatory or greenhouse.


Title: criminal investigation
Post by: sonic youth on Friday, December 7, 2007, 02:39:28
they've blacked out the dugouts for some reason, so it'd be a rubbish greenhouse.
