You know what you tried to imply.
I assume this is you taking it back?

Working on it now apparently.

The deal isn't far enough through to be announced yet but I guess they've been forced to update because of the mischief makers muddying the waters.

I take nothing back, I just don’t like people attributing things to me that I haven’t actually said in order to make a point to someone else.

Do I think Carters a charlatan yes
Would I trust him or his word on anything no
Do I think Carter has been straight with the fans no

Do I believe Rodney Walker was the villain he was painted to be no

Is that unequivocal enough

Being a trustee is not the same as being a director, "Spirit of 1873" is the company that holds all the assets listed (and liabilities) at WF1 5EY,
You're making up a scenario for an agenda that doesn't exist, the only way that a separate company could demand what you're suggesting, is that if that company held the asset of the stand, which it doesn't. Trust me I'm no MC lover and he's probably the main reason I no longer attend games, sponsor players, purchase season tickets, contribute to commit 6 and play for the PDRL team or have anything to do with the club & community trust as a whole.
But there is some mischief going on here, there's a clear light at the end of the tunnel and some are wanting to throw boulders in the way.
The truth will out! as they say. :thumb:


As things currently stand, there is 4 board members, with Mick and John owning about 47 / 48% each and the other 2 pretty much sharing remaining 5/6 %.

If the takeover goes through, they could just purchase 1873 and its entire assets and liabilities, or a deal could be done that the new owner (s) create a new company, and a selection of assets transferred across (SL license, players contracts etc), and the new stand / stadium remain a asset of 1873 and is leased to the new owners new company.

Its all guesswork and speculation at present what if anything will happen, but if the club is sold, then the current owners will be wanting to make a few quid on it one way or the other.

Guesswork? So why post so adamantly that they are wanting to get £200k a year from the stand and that they are blocking the takeover?

Seems to me some people are trying to cause trouble at the club by spreading misinformation.
I hope you all reveal your 'reliable source' when it all comes out as of course you want the best for the club.

Correct. I don't.
I don't think he's an angel by any means. But I don't think he's the devil that some think either.

I think he's a guy who makes hard decisions not everyone likes

You’ll quickly find out that those with a long term bee in their bonnet about MC and JM have migrated from the lawless site of Facebook onto this site and will try their best to continue to shed bad light on both regardless wether there is concrete evidence to back up their stories or not
