Are their discreet discussions going on with ladak. who the f..k knows ;) it would be nice for a bit of feedback from the powers that be!!!! :?:

According to the NLP, they've spoken to KC and he's in Portugal. He expects a statement to be made on Wednesday

Surely if they want us to communicate with them, they should communicate with us directly first, rather than just talking to the press. And also they're going to have to expect the majority of us to be sceptical about that second statement, if this is going to work then I think they're going to need to win our trust as its clear they haven't got any of that at the moment and like most I have serious doubts over them being anywhere near our club at the moment.

Mr Beasant if you're reading this and your intentions are genuine for this club then you have to understand how vital it is for you to gain support from the fans at this stage.

The quote attributed to Steve Beasant worries me, does he think he and his son will pick up the reins again and run the club with the cash as put together by the fans.

No way, I will ask to withdraw my pledge if it looks as though they will remain in any capacity at the club - I gave thinking we'd be rid of them !! I would definately ask the Trust for my money back if this were to be the case and would be VERY unhappy and bloody annoyed if they entered into discussions with these people. We need rid of them in my opinion.

The beasants must not be involved again end of!

Amen.

The trust will not be giving any money to them.
I am sure they took note who gave them money so it could go back if needed.

I would be fairly certain that if they are still at the Club after the Conference AGM on 12 June then the Club will get wound up. The Cloverdale winding-up petition is due to be heard the day after and other creditors are on the nack of this petition and will not accept anything other than either 1) the Beasant's going or 2) full payment of funds due.
