What's the crack? Just booking my summer hols and could do with knowing whether I will be boycotting next season or not. If so, might be able to afford something more than the usual camping in Devon. Can you let me know please? Thanks in advance.

Times up now, where's this announcement?
If it was real then surely five days would have sufficed, if not what are the niggling issues?
At least AL kept us informed.

Looks like the fans and AL & backers have been shafted by the current regime.

The difference between the two potential investors is amazing in terms of communication.

Right then Andy, as media officer, now the Portugal trip is over, isn't it about time that you arranged an interview with Radio Cumbria for John Nixon? Plenty of questions to be asked.

From the information I've got it's actually not a billionaire at all. I understand it's basically Laffys plan without Laffy.

Well Terrier that should come as no surprise to anybody who reads what gets posted on here.
I think most people were fairly confident the mystery billionaire was a figment of somebody's imagination, at first it looked as if it was just a ploy to string things out and perhaps get rid of the whole Lapping idea if possible. But with the appointment of one of Lapping's choices as Sales and Marketing director it became obvious that they'd decided they could do it all themselves and make it work without the extra cash. Then all they'd need to do would be to string things out, pretend there's a mystery man waiting in the wings, pretend they'd found out he wasn't suitable and then tell everyone they are going to put a brave face on and get on with all the hard work themselves. Lapping's deal falls by the wayside, Pattison gets reinastated, the status quo remains and the fans quit complaining because we're in another relegation battle and that's most important.
I expect to hear a statement in the next week or so saying discussions are ongoing, another in early July saying they've met the guy and are mulling over options. Then one in late July saying they've been communicating with his representatives and a conclusion will be forthcoming, then the final one in the second week of August intimating that he might not be the man for our club, then it will all fall apart over the next few weeks culminating in them saying it is all over on the Monday following a win in the league.
By then it will be too late for the Lapping plan to go ahead and they'll appoint a Managing Director who'll dance to Nixon's tune and take all the flak while they swan around giving it large and ripping the fans off for all we're worth.
Have I missed anything?

I'd say your close Moorlad.
I reckon they're going to try and tap up Laffy's "local business men willing to invest" and just cut Laffy out of the deal.
The mystery billionaire being a ploy to stall for time whilst they bring the local investors on board.
Cut Laffy out and get SP back on the board - seems to of ended up personal about that for some unkown reason.

You missed the bit about the announcement of an exciting new Blue Yonder development that they can't tell us about because of confidentiality agreements.

Investment, what does it mean ? We get investment from our Sugar Daddy Mr J, where is that taking us ? S...creek without a paddle !!
Money is one thing,energy, enthusiasm, ambition, vision are another. That is what we urgently need, our current custodians will wake up one day and realise they are in another time frame. They are, well, past there sell by date.....
The sh!t pile that is currently building, such as previously mentioned is going to be all the more difficult to get out of.

Surely the local businessmen realise that they might as well set fire to their money if it's going to nixon/jenkins to spend? Nixon might advertise he's done the MD job for free, but if he was on performance-related pay he'd owe the club I reckon. |

When will people realise that SP is still the director of football and he only resigned from the holding board which he doesn't need to be on s the other two look after him! |

Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get the same recycled statement, saying exactly the same as the last three (i.e.: nothing), any day now.
