GlossopLatic Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Kind of old news really we already know this. This is of ofcourse where the real problems of the football club lie. But still once we start leaving 2 players on the half way line at corners Im sure this problem will magically disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also on the all things latics podcast On radio Manchester the other week and from various people on social media it wasn't just in The Sun.

Probably because we’ve read the exact same story in at least two other national newspapers previously. There’s nothing new in it. Far be it from me to suggest the Grauniad journalist just read the Sun and regurgitated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask you, if AL hot footed it back to Dubai and the £4m (I think that's right) still sits in the Directors Loans account what are the consequences and /or options for the clib Presumably, it would just be criminal and rely on the police but what would happen to the money? I'm not suggesting he's doing it, seems he has other business interests that would make that a dumb move but what are the scenarios financially?

Cheers Running away from the directors loans is criminal? Weird way to look at it, given that in this scenario it will be money owed to AL.

Don't know what I was thinkng looking at it this morning in the cold light of day. It might be I thought he'd moved the money said to pay Blitz from club money into a debt to him. Yeah, weird way I looke at it. Tired from this flu. Dumb thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
