As for the debts AL has had to pay which were left by Corney. Surely if they were hidden then AL goes after Corney. If they weren't hidden and AL's accountants didn't spot hem during due diligence, then AL goes after the accountants for recompense. Maybe he has already instructed lawyers to get his money back. People say that Corney is skint, but I bet he owns property both here and in the US. Then again his ex wife may have already taken him to the cleaners.
As for the youth system. Someone mentioned earlier that he thought it was category 3. I'm not sure myself, but I remember TP saying a couple of years ago that after we had been inspected he was told that we could move up a category, but TP said it wasn't possible, because at the next level they need something like 8 pitches and we don't have the land to do that.
On another issue. I seem to remember AL told the trust that he was bringing in new board members, and further investment. Maybe these new investors have pulled out for some reason, and AL is now left holding he baby.
