Different thing. The sale was of shares in a limited company, between individuals. What you are referring to is a director's loan account OK claimed to have, and would be no more or less valid regardless of the sale of OK's shares.

OK's chances of ever being repaid his loan account may have appeared slim to many, but whatever, it was nothing to do with the share deal.

Sale of shares in club agreed for £300k for "assets" worth £x, turns out during course of sales club worth £x - £600k - would you still be happy to pay £300k?

Bit like looking at buying a house then getting a surveyor's report saying the foundations had been eaten by termits

fair response, thanks for your understanding, troll withdrawn. and to be honest, compared to that complete liar Honest and Nob Head its been a pleasure discussing the vicissitudes of RL fans with you.

slight modification NR. Bit like going 50% on buying a house then discovering that your partner had already sold two thirds of it to someone else, that partner being the partner of the vendor. you would call that at best negligence, at worst fraud. and not pay a bloody penny.

Utter nonsense. If anyone knew what they were buying, then how do you reckon MM and RW did not?

On your general point, you are correct on one point, and that is that nobody in that situation (if it existed) would be "happy" to pay. However that has nil to do with the fact that if you agree to buy something, then you owe what you agreed. Caveat emptor. And anyway either MM nor RW ever presented any such argument" for not paying.

More to the point, OK sued RW and MM for the agreed price. Neither of them has advanced any such Defence to his claim and if you were right, are you saying their solicitors are negligent in failing to mount the correct defence?

Well, the only possible option there would be the "accounting irregularities" which the administrator put down as one of the 4 reasons for the insolvency. But that's speculative.

Jumping about like a.looney along with the rest in the directors box. Looked fairly commited to me.

and he seemed to have quite a few Suits around him. lets hope they are potential investors

Thought he said he wouldn't be attending Sunday games?. Noble was say a couple of rows behind us in stand too.

No, Friday and Saturdays games he said he would not be attending.

When the clouds were starting to gather last season there were several other interested parties who were put off by the crazy valuation put on shares and OK 's attitude - then the S**t hit the fan when somebody thought about getting round to doing the accounts. So who knows - a few wins, a good cup draw and maybe a few more investors come in the help the rebuilding process?

I noticed that too. Hope it was the mysterious Billionaire who lives in Texas

Is he Jewish?

I think he is.

Cheers.

It was his birthday today, all those people in the box with him were probably friends/family.

So that explains the Friday (nights - I'm sure he could attend anything on Friday daytime) and Saturday games.

Interesting.

As we live in a Christian country that probably explains the poor attendance at Sunday's game.

Well I was at my place of worship.

As was I...and I thoroughly enjoyed the service!

I couldn't get to the game as I was performing a black mass. Hoped to get to the game but it took an absolute age to nail the inverted crucifix to the sacrifices forehead.

Call me Dave will have all heretics burned at the stake. Or excommunicated to Belle Vue (sic).

Ahh, Belle Vue - one the very few grounds to be named ironically. Still, shouldn't make too much of it, I mean..not everyone gets to watch the game in an iconic stadium..

2,341 to be precise...
