    I remember when the bloke Peter Doyle came forward, and said he saved us etc. But he also didnt appreciate the criticism and his financial input wasnt a bottomless pit, ie he would only put so much in and then... well who knows what might have happened if he'd pulled the plug.
    And then in 2003, wasnt it a combination of Risdale & Shepherd & Cryne taking over, when the yank Sean Lewis totally flopped and blew out!.

    I remember Mr Doyle putting the clubs existence into jeopardy by borrowing the money from Sterling consortium at an extortionate which massively increased Crynes purchase price.

    Hey Bill, you probably know a lot more than I do about Mr Doyle lol. Ive asked about him a number of times since his departure, and the word "mafia" gets mentioned a lot (and let me say allegedly here, to cover us all lol).
    At the time he was full of himself in the programme notes, and I think the administrator seemed to think he/Doyle was the right man etc.

    I once asked him in a very polite way "are you going to save the club" his reply was "what do you f ing think I'm doing here" I didn't as him again lol.I know he made a fortune on his short stint at Oakwell sorry I forgot to put allegedly.
