The Spirit of '69 and our Day of Action

[horlock07]

Interesting if perhaps not surprising that from that article it looks like Clem is going to come and go without doing any press/fan events at all.

And no advisory board, unless a new date has been agreed without my notice.

Why bother, if nobody believes a word you say, then save your energy and don't say a word, its not as if anyone who is boycotting is going to come back based on anything he is going to say.

The thing is, some people clearly *do* still believe what he says. There are still Clem fans who would jump all over a classic "I saved the club" interview. Of course us cynical old fuckers aren't going to be persuaded, but surely there's still some value to carrying on as normal for the rest?

"On Tuesday (February 4), Morfuni told The Moonraker he has no intention to sell."

ffs just sell up

He's not going to sell when he (and his crook mates) are making good money out of owing a football club.  I don't think it matters to them how many people turn up to watch, just increase the admin fees to cover the next season's "cash" injection to keep the club running.

Advisory board today

Seperatley met with the Trust and Eady trust indivually

No JV meeting yet

He might actually see a way of getting promoted now and thinks he'll get a bit more in league 1 than league 2.

[Power to people]

The scary thing is you may be right - if he thinks he can squeeze another few £££ then surely he will hold on

Problem is even if he does decide to sell we are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Anyone legit is going to want to see the books and complete DD, now either that's going to unearth a shed load of skeletons so they will just refuse (if a quarter of what is rumoured to be going on is correct you wouldn't let anyone outside the clique see the books) and the bidder will walk away or alternatively if they do open the books (and if a quarter of what is rumoured to be going on is correct) no Lawyers/accountants are going to be prepared to put their PI up advising a client to proceed with a purchase so that pretty much rules out legitimate bidders.

So lets look at other alternatives, you will have the seat of their pants type of bidders who will take a risk on the chance of big returns, now setting aside our lack of assets (the ground is basically worthless as a commercial asset/development opportunity whilst its 50% owned by a community group whose main aim is to protect the interests of the fan base and will be (entirely understandably - no knocking the Trust here) extremely risk adverse, these type of bidders tend to come in two forms, those who think they have the cash and business acumen to ride the risk and make the money (for instance what Mike Ashley did when he bought Newcastle - and that ended well) or those similar to who took us over post Black days.

So TBH all I can see as a possibility is an acquaintance of Clem's taking over (who possibly already has cash in the business) which will essentially just be a wash and repeat of what going on now or a repeat of this, hopefully with better hair.



One thing I would keep an eye upon, albeit what do I know, is what our points total is come the 4th Thursday in March, I wouldn't be surprised for one second if we are >10 points above the drop round about that date then a drop into administration and a pre-pack to an associated party happening, albeit I remain unconvinced what that would really achieve for them in the longer term as the majority of debt seems to be loans owed to themselves, but once again that is mainly rumour and conjecture as no one has seen the books/back of envelope....

Heard Steve Murrall now spends his time walking like John Watne after 4 years in the clink

Most odd. The JV should be treated with respect. If he wants to chuck his teddy on the AB that's slightly different.

That ship has definitely sailed.

I think if he did say anything and it got lapped up by his fanboys it would just annoy me, so i'd rather he kept it shut tbh.

Surely the JV meeting is more important.

this.

Is it though, the club have a long lease so if they pay the rent they ain't getting evicted, assume to do so they would have to essentially vote to evict themselves anyway.

If you haven't got a pot to piss in to pay for developments then what's the point of attending a meeting to look like a prize prick admitting you are skint, might as well kick the can down the road and hope something happens, which seems to have become the mission mantra of the club over the last 12-18 months generally.

I suspect that there will be provisions in the JV to kick the clubs arse at some stage so wait till you can provoke the Trust into doing that, then play the victim moaning that everyone should be concentrating on the progress on the pitch....

Not saying I agree or promote any of the above, but can entirely see and understand why it might be a desirable approach.

Now I do not know if this is true as I've heard it 2nd hand but apparently someone has made Pro Clem leaflets to hand out to orange hat wearers Saturday
