Reminder of how the Lapping Consortium takeover was terminated

[Dick Large]

So you do not believe that the football budget was in the bottom 6 of this league? Presumably you must be confident that you know the ranking of the 1921 budget, so you could oblige us by giving us the benefit of your knowledge about it. What do you claim it to be? You can tell us what it is and thus prove that both Clibbens and Holdsworth are telling lies.

You do believe that Nigel Clibbens tells lies. Let's have a few examples of him telling lies. By examples I mean actual audio / video / internet output of him telling lies, not hearsay. You can please yourself about liking him but as for him telling lies you have problems.

Let's have all the stories about the Lapping consortium's unethical behaviour and then we shall make comparisons with the Holdings board.

You have not responded to any of my issues with this Holdings board's ownership (as was) and my preference for the well-being of the club being far better in the hands of the consortium than the inept, arrogant, selfish, disastrous buffoons. Instead you simply ignore this because it is not in the interests of your argument. You constantly shift from ground that you cannot defend.

The Holdings board since 29th October 2009 has been absolutely dreadful before and after 2015. We are in the 12th year of this tragedy and yet you seem to prefer this to the club being owned by professionals with a superb track record over the long term. Is Philip day an honourable man? What about the Kirdi farce? It was 2 years before we were told the name and 5 minutes before we discovered that he was not credible at all.

The club has been put deep into the s­hit by this Holdings (former) ownership and the Lapping consortium was a chance to turn things around. Now both the club and The Three personally have problems. Perhaps the end of The Three at the club is not nigh but it is certainly not in the distant future. Being involved with Day and being in a vastly inferior position is not healthy. Perhaps you would wish to avoid debating his business ethics.

When this Holdings board inevitably collapses the ownership will again be in play and Day will not touch it. Of course his Purepay owns it now but after the Holdings board collapses he will arrange new ownership. So then there will be more debate.

While the directors are generally all liabilities when given a microphone, Clibbens is always very careful about how he words things.

If we go back to March last year, when asked whether employees at the club could openly criticize the BOD he said "we know the issues that can arise if they choose to do it that way." So while he clearly understands the type of concern being raised here, at the fans forum he tried (maybe a bit too hard) to downplay and ridicule a similar question. Being dismissive of a supporters query and referring to it as "nonsense" makes his earlier claim about welcoming fan engagement and wanting more questions seem rather insincere.
