What does the Fit & Proper test consist of? Is it in-depth enough to allay any fears regarding the anonymous backers?

Maybe in the spirit of the "managers we don't want" thread, we could have a "people who definitely aren't investing in Town" thread?

No. It's largely a self-certification process of saying that you're not a disqualified director, etc etc. A bit like those visa applications where you have to declare that you're not a terrorist, Nazi War Criminal, or intending to let off biological or nuclear weapons during your stay.

OK woolster agree that we would be in Admin now if this takeover (pushover) hadn't got done.

I just hope that we (as Jed would say) can make it work - if we can't just hope we don't get Double Admin if that is possible?

I have joined The Trust and will be rooting like hell for the team.

 Huh?

I dont know weather to laugh or cry .....

Does anyone think Jed's cheery man of people persona will involve him not wating to upset the team so a win tomorrow will result in him giving Miller/Ward the job on an ongoing basis?

He didnt seem to know a lot about much. Like they have taken the gig and intend on running on a 'see how we go' basis!
This is exactly how I see it. Did I hear right  at the beginning of the press conference, when asked if he was taking over from Sir William Patey as chairman, Jed said " Yes, it seems that way " Rock paper scissors spring to mind !

Ha ha nice teaser. We'll have to wait and see then. Hope there is, as promised, "real substance", would be very happy to read that. And something to put, erm, real substance behind that assertion

Fucking hope so Paul.

I'm as disappointed as the next man at the press conference. Was really hoping a lot more would be revealed.

Interesting.  You have to wonder why they saved this for the one on one interviews with Sam...unless this is just a cunning ploy by Sam to sell more newspapers.

I've got a lot of faith in Sam getting answers and putting the right pressure on the board etc.

I understand certain frustrations, but even when Fitton took over Black & Arbib weren't "revealed" for a month or so.

Adver Feed .... "Very slick and smooth press conference thus far".

It must have improved significantly after the radio feed was cut.

Let's hope that Sam's one on one interviews were more revealing and promising to the fans.

And if that's the pattern that's going to be followed here, fine, all well and good. But if the intent is to say "We've said they wish to remain anonymous and that's that" then that would be something that should be viewed as a major cause for concern IMO. Guess we'll have to wait and see, not much we can do about it at the moment anyway
