New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Everyone knows when they were paid. Its whether they are prepared to go public (if they were late),

Or if you are a first year pro you probably would keep your mouth shut, unfortunately.

I am highly impressed at the persistence/burying heads in the sand ability of any fan who at this point still thinks everything is rosey at the club.

[Peter Venkman]

Decent statement but I detect a huge undercurrent of frustration from the Trust directed passive-aggresively at the club.

[Mooneyraker]

Some positives in that statement.

However, why did it take this weekend's bullshit for them to tell us they haven't yet seen the books? They need to keep the pressure on with regular updates and not just wait until the next supporter meltdown/Clem own goal.

Statement feels way too passive for my liking.

No accounts been seen yet, no confirmation that the shares have been bought back, and we've got Clem's word that the HMRC and players/staff were all paid on time.

There are so many signs that there is no money. I guess we'll find out tonight if the players are seriously fucked off still, or not.

People love being delusional though, don't they? Much more comforting than living in reality.

They did say things are going on in the background.....but you're right they need to be clear with us what is happening as well. Telling us they've not seen the books will inevitably cause supporter unrest, but that is on Clem and not them.

Patience is very much running out.

Good to hear they have someone more than qualified to look over things.

It’s easy enough to read between the lines, though.

No books for the Trust to look at - something they don’t want them to see

No clarity on the shares being bought back - they haven’t

Yeah, pretty obviously this.

Promising it just to get the trust off his back and then renegging/ghosting is just Clem getting more rope to hang himself at this point.

I wonder who the interested parties are🤔

Consortium of ABLE, Power, Curran and McRoaaaary.

Here is a layperson's question:

If you are entering into a JV like the the one that the Trust have with the Club, where the money has been gifted by the Eady Trust, could there not have been a mechanism whereby each side is mandated to share their full accounts with each other annually and if they don't the property reverts to the Eady Trust? Or something like that.

As I say, I have zero, literally zero, understanding of this world but I'm curious what safety mechanisms were put in place to prevent a wrong 'un from essentially profiting from 50% of Nigel Eady's bequest.

[ChalkyWhiteIsGod]

Yeah its shouda woulda coulda at this point, but the trust should have had a look at the books before the JV.

Yeah it’s called we’re on the road to nowhere!
