TOPIC: Whats gan on

We need mystic Meg to see what's gonna happen

I'm one fan not desperate to know what's going on because I respect
Confidentiality and it's only June. I find the 10 questions to be pathetic and ones a ten year old would write. This article and a further one printed in today's paper smacks of trouble making or were they written on behalf of Andrew Lapping ?
Our club is in the safe hands of Andrew Jenkins , a generous fan of our club and in him I trust .
Please stop writing drivel and be positive about the good things happening - new players and a top Marketing appointment .
Try understanding how business works with both parties wanting to keep any possible deal confidential , unlike Lapping who talks a lot but really says nothing and acts like a fool by not insisting on a exclusivity agreement.
In answer to your 10 stupid questions I would say , go away and play with your other toys and leave any business deals to the people in the know and stop seeing mischievous .
If you are bored try writing about Cricket etc but please stop trying to ruin our club . I do hope that the majority of fans can see that you in Lappings pocket and that you will not be happy until you , like him , get your silly way . I personally prefer the way our Directors are dealing with any approach but I suppose it stops you scaremongering

Surely at this point they could produce proof of said investor to other members of the board

Jon Colman asks 10 questions in today's N&S.; To be fair, it's questions that many of us have been asking for weeks. Supposedly the questions have been sent to the club too - wonder if they'll get a reponse?

1. When will supporters be given details of the mystery investor and his/her approach? As soon as possible (Honest answer: There is no investor and even if there was we wouldn't tell those idiots anything unless and until we absolutely had to)

2. To what extent have discussions continued since Andrew Jenkins’ last statement on June 2? We continue to make good progress with the investor and hope to actually meet him soon (Honest answer : see Honest answer to Q1)

3. Is there a deadline for the mystery investor to table a firm proposal – and an official timescale on the current confidentiality agreement? The important thing is to get the best investment proposal for the club and that will take as long as is necessary (Honest answer: How many times, there is no investor. If we can make them up we can surely make up a few deadlines?)

4. Can you confirm or deny vice-president Andy Bell’s claim that the new party is a billionaire? Yes, we can confirm or deny. (Honest answer : Andy who? Oh, the one we asked to stick out a tweet to add some credence to our made up investor story. Well yes, the made up investor is a billionaire, but is still made up)

5. Why have the United Trust, who own 25.4 per cent of the club’s holding company, not yet been given any details of the new investor? We continue to progress the talks and the Trust will, of course, be invited in at the appropriate time. (Honest answer: We hate our supporters. The Trust claims to represent the fans. Therefore we hate the Trust)

6. Have you encouraged the new investor to seek dialogue with the Trust? See both answers to Q5

7. Does the club believe the Trust’s vote in March to dilute their shareholding – which they insist only related to the Andrew Lapping plan – should apply in any alternative restructure, and has the club sought legal advice on this position? We believe that the Trust will support the best investment proposal for the club and will support the ownership structure that best facilitates that. (Honest answer: We screwed up with this and have no idea whatsoever, we were actually hoping nobody would pick up on this)

8. If discussions break down, will the club seek to re-engage with Andrew Lapping and his consortium? If not, what is Plan C? The club is seeking the best proposals possible and is open to speaking to all potential investors (Honest answer: We know Lapping would show up our incompetence so don't want him anywhere near the club. Plan C? We haven't worked out Plans A or B yet)

9. Was Lapping’s claim on May 19 correct that the club’s lawyers had not “fully engaged” in the process of legal and financial due diligence – and if so, why? We will only every undertake expensive due diligence work when we feel it is the appropriate time (Honest answer: Of course we hadn't, we never had any intention of dealing with Lapping)

10. Does the club intend at this stage to proceed with new stadium scheme Project Blue Yonder until and beyond the current lock-out agreement, which we understand to end in October – and when will details be made public?

Somebody wasn't particularly happy with Jon Colman's article. One of the comments on the N&S; site.
