A few years ago when he was in his late 70's we took him back for a long weekend and he showed us round his old haunts. We actually had a lovely weekend, the old harbour area was superb for a Sunday afternoon drinking session with a live band playing, the walks and views over the Hoe were nice, plenty of decent beaches to visit close by and the Lido was good fun. i think by the sounds of it my experiences there are very different!!! i got to know the local police at charles cross station on a first name basis and had their desk phone numbers saved in my phone instead of 999 by the time id left!covid pretty much ripped the money out of it so the poorer got poorer and more desperate,and as a shopkeeper you kinda got the brunt of it! uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why companies do it, and why MM has done it? A notice of intention to appoint administrators is when the company files a document to the court to outline that it intends to go into administration if a solution cannot be found to its immediate financial problems. It can be used as part of the pre-pack administration process as well as used to restructure a failing business to avoid its liquidation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Mel has done it purely as a step to go into admin, or is there an ulterior motive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now everybody knows why. Exactly. 'I may have utterly messed up the finances but if the EFL hadn't appealed the stadium sale then I might have managed to sell up before any of you found out' isn't likely to get the fans onside.

Agh, it just makes me so angry. How badly do you have to have run things if you are worth half a billion yet your only choices are to sell the club to whoever will buy (to pay for your expensive mistakes), or to put the club you claim to love in administration, forcing them into a lower league and undoing years of work on the academy/developing players, who can now leave for peanuts? 'The EFL made it hard to sell...' Cry me a river. You are only so desperate to sell because of the consequences of your decisions. It's your mess, no one else's.

Given that no-one ITK is saying this and the cowardly and bitter club statement about administration I'd say you're living in dream land tbh.
