Just caught the end of that interview. Very down to earth and sincere guy. Wish him the very best & would like to think he could get involved at some point in the future. Seemed to have gained a lot of passion for the club having originally come from a r***y background!!

Shame he is going, for me he was the last person left at the club that I would have trusted to keep an eye on the new guys and ensure things are being done correctly, there is no one left now that would have this sort of knowledge.

Not saying the new guys will do things wrong but I always felt comftable that Nick was still there and was a genuine guy

Although true, I don't think we should assume it's something that has sinister undertones...it was always going to happen. Nevertheless we're still no further forward in uncovering the identity of the mystery money men. Good or bad this is something that needs to happen...and I feel it's something the TEF has to keep pushing despite the objections of the

It's all relative where Reg is concerned.

Not sharpening the pitchforks equates to believing they are the best thing ever.

[Reg Smeeton]

who has objected to that?

The long term reliable poster Chris, has come up with a couple of names...and received negative comments from PaulD and yourself. There clearly isn't someone walking around with mystery STFC investor stamped on their forehead, so this isn't an easy process. People should be encouraged to speculate based on the fragments of evidence they can find, rather than be discouraged...the Duffen one seemingly although wrong, wasn't ludicrously wide of mark.

[Flashheart]

Since when has Chris been a reliable fountain of knowledge, Reg?

People are only questioning the reliability of the source (which in Chris' case often seem to be the Daily Mail). By all means lets look into the people behind it but that does not mean reacting to unsubstantiated rumour from relatively unknown sources. If we're to pay attention to every bit of information we had might as well start taking our information from that football rumours site. I bet there's some blinders on there at the moment.

I don't think I've ever been called a happyclapper before.

I questioned what he was presenting as fact on the basis he'd produced two different names in two different threads in as many hours, neither with any back-up and neither post or name referenced to each other. Which struck me as just throwing names out at random - throw enough shit at the wall and see what sticks - and so I said so. I'd see that as healthy scepticism rather than happy clapping but each to their own.

And FWIW both may yet turn out to be correct.

Nick Watkins will be hugely missed by all parts of the life of the club,; he would have been a steady hand at a time of major change and continuing uncertainty.

Back to Nick Watkins - Thanks for all your hard work and help, it was greatly appreciated.

As the for mystery money men...keep digging TEF, we'll get there in the end...we always do.

My sources tell me it is George Soros.

FACT!

Nick Watkins introduced me to Steve Murrall as the general manager at the Preston game. You could tell from the way he spoke to me he was on his way out.

Decent guy, will never forget how he offered to sort out my season ticket through installments without going through that tinpot finance company. Legend and best of luck to him

I don't think I've ever been called a happyclapper before.

I'd suggest that even Hitler was a happy clapper compared to Reg.
