As Fred keeps saying, if there's a valid rescue package on the table it WON'T go under.

as long as this board is in charge then its bye bye to any ground redevelopment, they have burned those bridges. Also I cant see the council extending the lease at the CG anyway.

Well ... that might not be true. Either way, it's very clear the current club management has quite badly shot itself in the foot here.

But I don't understand...Rod Bluh was meant to be Bowden's best mate?!!

Looks like a united front is developing in opposition to the current board.  The fans, the club's landlord.  Sooner or later the penny has to drop.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the board have been lying again, this time stating that they've been chatting away with the council about the CVA, when they clearly haven't. How can they continue like this? They are so fucking clearly in a very deep hole, but they continue to dig and dig themselves deeper.

My only hope is that this all comes to a head, the board are booted out, and the Courts, or whoever, hand power over to anybody who can bye the club and clear the existing debts, i.e. Bill Power. Then, hopefully, STFC can begin a new relationship with SBC, and ground redevelopment plans can start again.

Still no more action on the 'mystery investor' front. I must admit, I did think that even our board wouldn't be so transparent as to make something like that up, but it would appear that they are.

This could all so easily be sorted out. But the stubborn fuckers in the board room are dragging it out, making it so hard for the fans, and everyone else involved. What they are doing can only affect the club in a detrimental way.

Just hang in there Bill, and Phil, please. The end is nigh.

Oh dear, oh dear - maybe Rod Bluh was Bowden's imaginary friend just like all his critics admiring him - that could only have been in his head - justl ike the plans for the CG are in his head. That wouldn't leave much room for a brain would it, Mr Corporate Lawyer.
If you think about it the club keep saying the bullet payment is dependent on redevelopment. Again, if you use their own logic then this would have to be their main priority so who do they put in charge - Walter Mitty Bowden.

I see what you mean about Bluh and Martin reading fro the same page now Talk Talk.

oooops. I guess Bluh didn't say he wouldn't renegotiate, just that they haven't even asked with a week to go.....It's the onl positive I can see and that is stretching it.

Fortunately (and I'm trying to be positive here), the situation has improved in one key respect over the last weeks & months...and that is that the local media is now covering this properly and holding the board to account.  Unless there is significant movement today, I would hope that the Adver, in particular, will run with a Doomsday-style headline this weekend.  This would really help.
