You know that for a fact do you? Armchair management I can deal with, armchair administration I find hard to swallow.
I do not possess all the facts, nor do you or anyone else on this list. Some on the list know more than others but the overriding fact is this. The administrators job was to know all the facts and then choose the best buyer for everyone concerned, that includes the creditors. So, not only are you saying that Bates is a crook, inventing debt etc etc, you are saying Astor are crooks (because they were only interested in Bates offer) and KPMG are either crooks or grossly negligent in their duties. I tell you what, if I were any of those parties I would have your arse down the courts for libel before you could shuffle on it and come up with any more armchair administration. Bates played the game to get what he wanted. No more or less than anyone else who wanted to buy the club. If he or Astor or KPMG broke the law (and by inventing debt or having conflicts of interest or turning blind eyes that would be breaking the law) then the relevant authorities will find out. Fuck me, we are out of admin, still have a club, are getting a squad together for preseason, why are you lot still moaning and whingeing about Bates being a naughty boy? Who would you have wanted to own the club then Nigel, from the 5 other bidders? Why are YOU so pissed off with Bates? Because bob the mobile disco didn't get all his money back? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:leedslist- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nigel Holcroft > Sent: 15 June 2007 19:54 > To: 'LUList' > Subject: Re: [LU] The inevitable does happen > > do with swaying votes.
