Have heard a lot of people saying this. Out of interest what sort of thing does he do? Not being facetious but don't see his name mentioned that often normally, in the press etc.
He is the chief exec. I think the more appropriate question would be, what doesn't he do!? |

This new lot are going to have to go on a charm offensive to get the fans onside...when the last lot came in Sturrock fucked off straight away....and we got Malpas. Losing players and PdC isn't something which is going to be acceptable this time, given the circumstances. The Banbury beer story reminds me of Mr Whippy, who went on a coporate in London with a mate of mine...Whippy mused out loud how he might improve his and the Board's image with the fans...mate suggested pitching up in the CG or Merlin and buying fans a few pre-match beers...lo and behold he did  |

"The Advertiser understands the terms of the takeover at Town would see the money owed to Andrew Black, Sir Martyn Arbib, Andrew Fitton and Jeremy Wray in the club's holding company wiped.
Those debts are believed to total between £9.5million and £10million."
Still think one player is going to go, but for owners to have a completely clean slate thats a rarity in football business

Or, wiped as in here's your £10 million, now we'll just create it as a debt from the football club to the new holding company.

That's the papers understanding
That is money owed to Andrew Black, Sir Martyn Arbib, Andrew Fitton and Jeremy Wray.

Unless the £10m has been paid out of the goodness of the new owners hearts then that debt still stands somewhere. Crazy.

To be fair it's not as though they are paying that 10M to the HMRC or anything... It just means they wont get it back, maybe Black & co just want to cut their losses and get out ASAP. Or is that wishful thinking?

The new owners have basically been given the club, paid nothing and with a large wage bill I really hope these guys have deep pockets as they obviously didn't have enough whereby the previous investors got any of their money back. I really hope I'm wrong as the past two years have been awesome and I don't want to what has been built up knocked down.
