Power was a charmer.

Nice little Friday morning read there!

It made me laugh that Power called the referee “you fat cunt”. I mean Power is hardly a 3XL but he also isn't exactly 'svelte' himself.

Secondly, if you are going to try and cover up crime, at least have the sense to mess around with the CCTV -

"Secondly and thirdly the Commission received two signed letters from the Club’s Head of
Security, Ben Gristwood and Tunnel Security Steward, Momcilo Balac. Both of these Club
employees stated that they had been in the tunnel area at the time of the incident and at no
time had they seen Mr Power.

12. Based on the above evidence, the Commission may have had some trouble in finding the charge
against Mr Power proven. However, the FA also submitted video evidence of the incident which
clearly shows that Mr Power was in the tunnel at the time of the incident"

A great point reiterated by the LSPod via a club employee that when you go in 'there' (assuming this is the boardroom/corp box on matchdays) it's the same people there now as there were during the Power era.

in fairness the likes of Austin and Hart still being around the club have always been questioned.

the club seem to have tried to distract themselves from Austin somewhat, but I'm not sure that is totally believed either

Is there not a minimum % shareholding whereby a minority shareholder doesn’t need to pass any FA test. 2 individuals holding 10% each doesn’t sound much.

Did Clem have to pass it when he originally bought 15%.

When in the timeline did these 2 people appear in official records at Companies House?

[Mooneyraker]

Interesting to see what the Trust eventually say about all this.

We must also be due the latest (and hopefully last) AB minutes any day, which should be good for a laugh.

Apart from the secrecy surrounding this, I presume there isn’t anything intrinsically wrong with selling shares to raise capital - either legally or of interest to the FA.

[Mooneyraker]

Perhaps it is the possibility that Mrs Parladorio is holding them for Standing that is of interest?

Let's face it, the FA can no doubt see that the whole regime stinks but that probably applies to many EFL clubs.

Kind of at the point where i would just like it to get sorted one way or another. Let the FL deal with it and reveal whatever needs to be revealed if that is even the case and go again

Yup, just rip the bandage off and deal with the fallout. Tired of this sword of Damocles hanging over us.

Have a look at the PDF of the confirmation statement posted on 15th August 2023. (which is the annual date these things have to be posted, hence why it came out of the woodwork this week) The actual date of share transfer was 30th September 2022.
