Piglet at the other place

[_Stefan_Kuntz]

Piglet, referring to his very long term insistance that Laffy's intention was to somehow acquire the club in its decline, for his own ends, mainly to own Brunton Park and develop property on it :-
"I respect the fact you've gone on record as having changed your mind.

And yes, I wouldn't argue developing the BP site wouldn't be complicated.

But anyone who's changed their mind once can easily change it back again".

This is the umpt­eenth time that Piglet has made an assertion, showed no evidence whatsoever to justify that assertion and maintained this position as though it was totally justified and accepted by everyone.

Here is another more recent one. He has asserted that last season's 1921 football budget was 7th in League Two. At no time did he respond to the request for evidence to support this. His p­iss poor method of arguing the case is that the burden of proof is upon those who disagree with him to prove him wrong.

No, in both these cases and for numerous others that he has maintained, the burden of proof is totally upon the person who makes the assertion. He has not produced any proof whatsoever for these silly assertions because he cannot do so.

All true. I especially liked him ignoring the point that someone who changes their mind then changes it back again can then change it back to where it was before, and so on, and so on. It’s a complete non-argument.

Just ignore the plonker

[Psaw]

It sounds like Piglet might be barking up the right tree. It takes you a long time for the penny to drop. When a newspaper man in the usa asked a bank robber why he robbed banks, he replied.

THATS WHERE THE MONEY IS.

Laffy is Andrew Lapping. In late autumn 2014 a Laffy consortium began an attempt to inject a sum of £1.25 million to buy new shares which would have resulted in the consortium owning 45% of Carlisle United 1921 Ltd and no individual new or incumbent shareholder being able to vote more than 20% of the whole equity. Thus the consortium would have had Ordinary Resolution control. An Ordinary Resolution at a board meeting requires a simple majority to pass.The incumbents had options to gradually sell some or all of their shares to members of the consortium, given a fair valuation at such times.

At the outset of this Piglet made the silly assertion that Laffy himself wanted to take advantage of the club being in distress in order to personally own it with the aim of developing property on Brunton Park. There was and is no record of Laffy ever being an asset stripper and the use of Brunton Park is inhibited by it not only being on a flood plain but also by the actuality of two very substantial
flood events in 10 years. There was and is a rumour that there is a restrictive covenant on Brunton Park. But I have got this brought to the attention of the major shareholder and he denies it. Nobody at the club says that there is a restrictive covenant.

So, Laffy has no record of being an asset stripper, there is no documented record, no audio, no video, in fact nothing whatsoever which gives the slightest hint of Laffy having any such intentions. Brunton Park is worth almost sod all because there can be no planning permission for business premises or houses to be built. Laffy is a totally wholehearted Carlisle United supporter. He wishes only positive events to happen to the club.

It is formidably difficult to find a more ridiculous assertion than that made by Piglet.

Ridiculous assertions come quite commonly from him.

If everything is above board and legal, why are you where you are? Something is seriously wrong. Maybe you dont have the mind to find out.

Why are we where we are? Constipation Frank. There’s a blockage in the board room we just can’t shift

[Psaw]

Its worse than that.

Nah, there’s always money somewhere.
