I understand the legalities, but when you see what CW got away with at Ibrox, there’s not much to stop them doing a lot of damage in a short time frame. They had historical shares in Arsenal that had been on display for decades. It didn’t stop CW removing them, selling them, and pocketing the cash. Obviously, the guy as Bury has been stripping as much as he could before it all caught up with him. The usual MO. Assets aren’t always readily visible, but if there’s an opportunity to liquidate or remove them, people like this will always be sniffing around. I have never felt our MSG to be corrupt or without ethics. They have however, been utterly inept and perhaps even negligent regarding most of the crucial decisions and appointments relating to the football club. Cheers If possible could you list out any FFC assets that he could possibly transfer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 3 hours ago, champions said: Cheers If possible could you list out any FFC assets that he could possibly transfer? I don’t know what they are or might be. The guy at Bury ran a textbook asset strip. Once the stuff is “sold” to another holding company, it’s gone. The aim with stuff like trophies is then to offer them back to Newco Bury for a few k so they can get their history back. If it’s land and there is clear title, it gets sold to a holding company for £1 or whatever, then when everything goes tits up, anyone wanting that land has to pay full market value to get it. Guess who gets the money for it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I just don't see the point in people coming up with endless theories and ideas about what could be happening. There's feck all we can do the now anyway until we find out how the due dilligence goes. I'm still of the opinion that the MSG or at least Alexander and Ritchie won't just let the club fall into the hands of just anyone for a few quid. I'm no fan of the way they have run the club from a football context but then there have been people with more money than them that have made mistakes in running football clubs. Without the likes of Ritchie and liddell we simply wouldn't have a club just now so why go to all that bother of saving the club only to hand it over to any old scheister that turns up with a few quid? Alexander has put cash in over the years too so why invest and state that whatever happens you'll always be there to watch Falkirk if you have no interest in what happens to the club in the future? Yes its time for these guys to move on but I cant really comprehend them handing it over to just anyone to make a few quid.You were doing well until you mentioned Liddell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have no issue with him taking the land if he delivers the return of the academy and a competitive team at SPL level. Looking at the accounts our tangible assets only come to £250k, not an earth shattering amount. We do have an amount of £1.5m classed as investments with additional narrative within the notes as 'loans to group undertakings' Does anyone know what this is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 It looks to me like those who can't be bothered with examining this closely are MC's greatest allies. It's just the sentiment that might help land him control. Reminiscent of those who are bored of Brexit and just want them to get on with it. The people who might well enable us to career over a cliff. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
