I have had my disagreements with some toxic shits on this forum but you really are the worst. Your partner in Peats (I was a Management Consultant there 30 years ago) should understand that either AC or a mate of his put in the amounts owing over 1 year (£670K iirc I cannot be bothered to check back).

From what I have seen of your posts, I think that someone has stuck a Dictkionary of Business Truisms up the exit end of your alimentary canal with such force the bullshit truisms come bursting forth from your mouth and brain. In one post you are saying that the creditors are overwhelming, in the next sentence you are accusing the new consortium of asset stripping. You wouldn't know an Arset stripper if he waved his dong at you off the top of the City Hall.

You have read Mein Kampf, haven't you. The bit where Adolf says the Big Lie is best (echoes of Boris) because it sticks iin the mind, and the little lies all resonate with the big lie. My conclusion is therefore that the business truisms are the small lies, and you PEST-NEG are the big lie.

Send us a PM mate and we can conclude our candid debate there. This is a topic which is too factious for an open forum and will prove to be yet another distraction. Your emotions are clearly getting the better of you (again). The last thing we want is for you to burst a blood vessel.

Interesting piece by Ross Hepponstall on the Patreon website.Hes done an interview with Mark Sawyer.I might be going over old ground and all this is already out there,if so just ignore this post and apologies.Anyway Sawyer is quoted as saying.
(1)He is the biggest single shareholder with 24%.
(2)The actual Wood family themselves have around a 33% share.Nigel Wood himself less than the 24% that Sawyer has.
(3)Its expected Stephen Wood(Nigels brother)who owns a law firm in Bradford will take a seat on the board.
(4)Andrew Chalmers was actually owed around £300.000.
(5)Around 600 season tickets sold for next season.
(6)£300.000 central funding expected to be received for next season.
(7)Hoping to boost the shareholding with smaller stakeholders over the coming days.
Like I say this might already out there.I havant had the time or the inclination to go over all of the 100 pages.

I trust Ross 5000 times more than I trust other "sources". Interesting to see the 600 season tickets mentioned when it's being quoted as 1,200 elsewhere. More bulls hit from the usual suspects?

And again the question of shareholders comes up. This is what I mean when I say the constant smoke & mirrors is putting me right off. If Sawyer owns 24.999999% and the Woods own 33.333333%, that still leaves approx 42% that we're not aware of. So who the F*** owns that?

We've been saying for ages that if they want the fans to buy into things, they need to be absolutely open and honest about the situation. It feels like it's far from open and honest. As usual.

Totally agree regarding Ross.According to MS at the moment nobody owns the other 42% and there looking to bring other people in.Make of that what you will.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!

(3)Its expected Stephen Wood(Nigels brother)who owns a law firm in Bradford will take a seat on the board.

That's a concern considering the legal entity who was a Bulls shareholder and starting the financial ball rolling downhill!

Yes that's right.MS was making the point it's nothing like the 75%figure which is been bandied about by some in the media.

“600 Season Tickets sold” If you go to Season Ticket site, according to the seating plan shown there, over 600 SEATS have been sold. So have no terrace tickets gone at all?
