Pat from Poole Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Haven't seen a lot of comment about Leon in today's posts, but if you did make the exclusivity payment last month, thanks Leon, and I'm really sorry that it looks like you may also have been mislead. Not much consolation for losing £500K, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lets wait and see who actually paid the £500K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Not much consolation for losing £500K, mind. Do you have proof that he paid it then? Again just rumour and speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much consolation for losing £500K, mind. I don't know if he paid it or not but if he did then surely a man of his business expertise would not have thrown money at the likes of Lynam's alleged backers? Would he? Crouch IMO has made a few errors of judgement and this is just another one if it is true. If he had held back then perhaps this sorry saga wouldn't have got this far, IMO.

Perhaps he paid because he is terrorised by the thought of Lowe being even a 0.007% chance behind the Jackson bid. Crouch is obsessed by possesing SFC, if you want his cash then just spin him a likely hard up story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did pay it, and there seems to be a strong indication he did, then I imagine he would have done it from a supporters perspective rather than to gain favour with Pinnacle. Whatever you think about Crouch he has dipped into his funds more than any other in recent times to support the running of the Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you think about Crouch he has dipped into his funds more than any other in recent times to support the running of the Club. If he did put his money in it may have stopped the Swiss from making a bid that is my point. But I dont know if and why he put 500K in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont disagree that Crouch has/is/was trying to help the club but sometimes I think his judgement is not good as you say he acts as a fan Perhaps the Swiss bid was the best one in the first place thats all By the way who is Rupert?

Agreed however it would appear he is trying to do something positive. IF the Swiss bid was better in the first place then you should consider pointing the finger at Fry rather than Crouch.

How about asking your own God Rupert if he'd like to help the Club out of the sorry mess he is partly responsible for. WTF does Lowe come into this? I am pretty sure Crouch put money in, why else would he be invited on the board? I cannot remember when the official date required for being out of administration and having an agreed CVA is? But if all of this results in us not having enough time to sort the CVA out in time and are then starting the season on -25 points, exactly how would you feel then? Especially if we could have avoided the CVA altogether? It does not matter how good your intentions are, that when you end up doing the opposite to what is intended, you are best not saying or doing anything without an adult present. How many time does anyone have to keep going down on the wish genie before results indicate it is a personal choice or dumb enough to know no better? I can easily see Fulthorpe getting resurrected again or one of the ocean going liners being touted as significant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan that is in a position that can help he cant be faulted. He has been presented information and based on what he has seen he has put his hand in his pocket when he felt if he didnt he would be sitting back watching the situation get even worse. hindsight probably says he was duped along with many other people and maybe if he hadnt helped the path would have been clear for some better times with someone else. But who knows if the other people are going to be any better than anyone else? Every decission at SFC seems to be a gamble of late and the only winners in gambling are the bookys.

John B Posted 27 June, 2009 Share Posted 27 June, 2009 I would be very interested to get Mr Crouch's opinion on what is happening at the moment as he surely must know what is going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
