The reason he got off so lightly with his latest transgression is because he is now in cahoots with Bates (Umbers) and therefore Harvey.
He needs to **** off and soon. He has got a list of Court cases as long as your arm and the FL will have no choice, despite him being pally with Bates/Harvey, other than to keep banning him.
There are a number of potential buyers out there, not Red Bull though unless you want the soul ripped out of the club entirely, so he has no excuse to hang round like a bad smell any longer.”
I think his intentions to buy back ER were genuine until he discovered the club's true financial mess.
As for the court cases I couldn't really give a ****, Those offences regarding 'Nellie and the Land-rover' happened a long time before he became owner of the club or had intentions of buying the club.
Everyone knows Bates owns ER and TA, it's in MC interests to keep him sweet for now.
Apart from Verity and friends can you name these other potential buyers ?
Why don't these potential buyers try buying GFH's stake in the club, at least then they would have a foot in the door. As it stands it's down to the loyal fans via the share scheme (which I support 100%) to put a package together.
Like most things in life 'talk is cheap' everyone wants 'IN' until it comes to actually putting their share IN, I can't see them getting anywhere close to the reported £10m needed but I hope they are successful.
Like it or not we would be in Admin if MC had not steadied the financial basket case we were in last year, I know he's as mad as a monkey but he genuinely wants the same as we do. MC put his money where his mouth and that's good enough for me.
