As per usual, we didn't have too many come forward... At the time it was pretty much just me (the other founder had, errr, lost a bit of focus) and Adrian Stores - Adrian had met Barry I think.

GlossopLatic Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Would anyonelse like to see the end of the term "The Three Amigos" used to describe Corney Blitz and Gazal. We were all grateful for them in 2004 but they have left an appalling legacy on the football club with the split in the ownership of assets setting the stage for the current clusterfuck that we are currently seeing. Don't know how controversial that is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably Chris Moore saved us in 2001 I know the 2 are very different but both left us in appalling situations. The difference is both those 2 tried to make us better before it turned to shit this guy has gone straight to making everything shitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Interesting revelation from Mike Keegan re Maynard on the podcast. 8 clubs were in for him in the summer, including us, and we offered the lowest. And some of the other clubs in for him were non league. Barry cited a few quality players we were supposedly in for along with Maynard, I think Mayor was one of them, as if somehow justifying our summer recruitment efforts. But what is pretty clear, which is no surprise at all, is that we were offering peanuts so had no chance of getting these players in. Just more guff and spin.

Mike Keegan had info. from someone who knows Maynard well. As well as what you say, Maynard wanted to stay local and had discussions with the club. It was quickly decided that Maynard was not the right fit for the club. On the figures regarding the North Stand, Moralee said that the council put in millions, when us fans thought it was just the compensation from the Lancaster Club debacle. I think MK was hinting that the figures the club has, don't match up with the figures he received in the FOI. I may be wrong there because Moralee says he was told the figures by the council.

It is odd. I can’t work it out either, but I’m taking it that he thinks the original transaction is a tad shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it at the time, although we did pay over the odds for Wheater but I think that was a signing made on the back of our shocking pre season form.

Moralee had had a letter leaked months ago regarding this but then was only told of these figures on the afternoon of the fans forum? And hadn't heard about the Lancaster Club until that afternoon? And still seemed to be unaware, or was pretending to be unaware, of the councils cock up with the planning permission/covenant thing.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I could name one of them, so unless I’ve missed it then any attempted to get their name out there were futile at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
