The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Formic, I am glad we have a link to SB, next time could you ask if he is going, if so when, what is the debt, are there other debts to go through and who is opearating the club in his absence, as CEO he has a duty of care to see that club is managed in his absence.

But mostly please ask him why there has been no statement!

Thanks Formic, I appreciate you are a bit of a messenger here!

There is now a statement / sitrep - http://www.thediamondsfc.com/page/NewsD ... 16,00.html

This guy doesnt give a lot away does he, I would love to know who is representing us at the meeting with the conference on the 6th June, with current owners track record in communication, conversation could be a bit one sided - I hope the person/s representing the club understands the procedure they will need to go through and what sort of assurances they will need to provide or we will get short shrift!

If it was me I would want to see a firm business case plotting the next five years ahead showing a profile where debt is gradually reduced - I would also hope that the gigantic effort shown by the fans/trust to raise funds just to kick start the club back into life was highlighted and the scope for growth on the terraces and events at NP. I would also hope that previous excellent behaviour by previous owners would be taken into account!

I would suggest that Helen Thomson would be ideal in predicting what would be expected of anyone making such a plea to keep the club in the conference!

I dont know for sure but the advice SB has received to date in operating a club has proven to be flawed, I sincerely hope better and swifter advice is being sought!

Thanks again Formic for being the conduit between us and owners, I suspect if it was not for your actions today we would be non the wiser
