And it begins

[Benzel]

Pretty sure that's how it's been the last 2 years I've done it, Jo.

[sonicyouth]

Ha ha

Fuckoff Olaf

The actual issue is that nobody knows any fucking facts, that's why so much credence is being given to some rumours posted by an anonymous guy on the internet. The fact the board haven't stormed out of any offices after threatening legal action make me think there might be some truth in it.

[sonicyouth]

Others who now run the club have been turned down by other clubs due to their dubious past.

Who and which clubs?

Thanks.  I must admit I didn't read the small print, just assumed it wouldn't come out yet.

Am I missing something?  Have we been bought by a billionaire? If we have to cut our cloth according to our means, surely that meant cuts across all areas of expenditure. If we ever reached the 'utopia' of fan ownership,  surely they'd have to do the same? Lots of knocking on here but very few alternatives being offered up.
Still, easier that way,  isn't it?

Leasing expensive cars is not cutting our cloth according to our means.

[tans]

Yeah Benz is right

[kerry red]

Who and which clubs?

Cheltenham and the mighty FGR

Cheltenham and the mighty FGR

you don't actually believe Dr Pierre Chang do you?

[kerry red]

you don't actually believe Dr Pierre Chang do you?

No at all. But I have no reason to disbelieve the current Cheltenham chairman who stated he was not prepared to sell to Jed et al.

And that is on the record

and FGR?

[Posh Red]

Jed didn't deny the 250k figure, and he's denied everything else.

Did he, where was that stated?

Not saying that it wasn't but I haven't seen that anywhere, I was looking through the answers to the questions posed, and the only answers on that topic (which have been answered) are below.


Some consultancy fees have had to have been paid as a result of the takeover, but not as has been reported on some social media sites. Neither Jed nor Steve wished to discuss their remuneration, though there are written questions on this topic that have been submitted to them. Jed stated he has not taken any salary as yet.

Q: Is it true that new employees of the club (not intended to related to footballing matters) have been hired on significant salaries (over 50k)?

A: There are no salaries of that size.



A simple question to all those that want the board out already, what do you think would happen if they turned around tomorrow & said "Fuck it, we are off".


For what it's worth I don't have a lot of confidence in the board, but unless we get a multi-millionaire who is happy to piss away money at some point we are going to have to go through some pain

[Benzel]

He's done fuck all at Banbury either after giving it all the chatter.

I'm all for given people a chance but I even I don't like this situation.

[red sheldon]

if Jed wanted to stop these rumours it's quite easy for him to do it he just needs to ring up the adver and do an interview and give the true facts....

[kerry red]

There was an article in the Sunday Times about the current FGR owner, some ex hippy type who has made a fortune out of green energy.

He was the happy alternative to you know who at the time

He doesn't do interviews...as he might be misquoted.
