MM was effusive about Rooney in his interview. There was no sarcasm or irony and those who say he was insincere would have been up in arms if he had been critical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision to publish is separate. And never the twain shall meet. I was talking about the latter until you started throwing smoke bombs.

It has to be done in private not public. No good chairman, in the history of football, has ever put a club in administration. Only the worst of the worst in that particular vocation manage that, considerably worse when you began cash rich in the first place. There is no defending him.

Crewton Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I doubt that DCFC has ever been "cash rich" as a business, except perhaps for short periods during the year coinciding with ST renewals or a major player sale. Even GSE had to cover £Ms of losses every season and were heavily criticised for their "lack of ambition". One day, the full story may come out, but I doubt that calling in the Administrators is an easy decision for any Chairman, good or bad. hintonsboots, I know nuffin and jono 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just ran out of money in the end. And didn’t have COVID as an excuse. But he was a good guy.

simmoram1995 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Why do I have a feeling number 4 is Ashley and these two jocks were there to look at the books and then Ashley reviews whether he wanted to get involved. With his wealth , Ashley could just skip to the front , declare interest , pass Owners test etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there done that. Don't know about Carlisle capital and admit CK has been on a charm offensive on use the fans. CK , a man we can find little about, is my favourite BUT when something appears to good to be true it normally is.

I hope he does not FAA into that category CK wasn't my proffered choice until I realised Rooney knew of him and backs him. He was described by Percy as being the dream buyer as he was in cahoots with a big football agent, Stretford. CK is an unknown but if Rooney is backing him, Alan Nixon claims he is very wealthy, Simon Jordan claims he is very wealthy, the administrators claim he is very wealthy, the only people doubting him are 40 year old men from chad, me ? I'm intrigued to see the bid from Appleby, Rush and Moxey though, I have a feeling they have a very wealthy backer, so wealthy that they are letting the money do the talking, just my guess.

Do you think we will eventually know for sure who other parties and backers were and why administrators go with the preferred bidder they chose? I am not sure how much they are duty bound to disclose at some point in the process to show creditors they got best deal rather than just someone who Wayne likes!?

Good post, I don't know the answer but there will have to be some level of transparency at that point I think, even if it's only to the other bidders. I doubt we'll get much publicly but the duty to creditors will mean we probably get some idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protocol says that Admin should not confirm who the other parties are, The NDA i'd have thought goes both ways, Those who didn't make the "prefered bidder" stage can if they feal the need to come out of the closet and say we were one on the bidders. I believe CK will be there on Monday along with CK being named in the squad. r_wilcockson and CBRammette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our track record of luck, the ones we could have won would probably go onto buying Wycome Wanderers and turning them into the next Man City. jono and CBRammette 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am pretty sure you can toggle between multiple Twitter accounts under the same umbrella mobile number so why don't you just create another account alongside your existing one which won't be then blocked by Nixon? Unless of course you subsequently upset him again ? hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
