It doesn't matter what we are talking about.

Gut feelings about just about any topic are not reliable. They are often wrong. More often than not. That makes it unwise to act as though they are definitely correct. Being right sometimes does not change that and it does not give people bragging rights. It's akin to bragging that you're a good poker player after getting lucky and winning with a shite hand.

And MANY more people did suspect that Power was shifty but chose not to go diving in acting as though their feelings were definitely right (myself included) People who did not go gobbling off about their gut feelings were not necessarily wrong, many just acknowledged that there was no evidence to prove they were right.

But we've been here before. I'm not going there again.

Swinton is now required to issue a “sale notice” to Power.  However, it does not have to do so until 7 days after the expiry of the period in the “offer notice”, i.e. which would mean it must issue the “sale notice” somewhere between 22 June and 13 July.

On receipt of the “sale notice” and the sale price of £250,000, Power must transfer his shares to Axis.

So, 13th of July (or sooner) is the point where Power is obliged to hand over control to Clem?

But even then he could be a dick about it and it might take more court shenanigans for it to happen.

Where did this lovely nugget come from?

It’s good to get some idea of timeframe, albeit if things go smoothly.

Basically he’s painted himself into a corner. The thing is there are ways he can bypass the wet paint but walking over it to the door isn’t one of them. It is now just a question of waiting until the paint has dried for AXIS to help themselves to the goodies. As the options to get out from this corner before it dries is going to cost him a fucking lot of money legally (this is the man who says a) he cannot afford to keep the club going b) the club is insolvent) and time is running out so the longer he stalls the more it will cost him.

If true, it's probably a good thing they didn't. They may have been less inclined to take the approach they have if they had a better mutual relationship.

Well, they were proposing a ground purchase with him.

So even if they were sceptical, they were still trying to work with him to move the club forward

He, on the face of it may have been using them as a stooge to stall his real intentions allegedly.

It does not always pay to rock the boat though, there are certain things that are better of being worked on in the background quietly while keeping up public appearances.

I'm sure it was known a while ago about the going's on but until all ducks were aligned it would have been best to move in the background to line them up.

I think it's well worded to be "we aren't angry, just disappointed"

I'm happy with the statement this morning from the OSC.

Have also now seen this from the Axis/Standing QC chap. The bit in the penultimate paragraph about Power's possible next step is interesting:
