Surely it's only older stock that's on sale? I know I can rattle the occasional cage but surely OK sees the benefit of getting you through 2014 in decent shape? All you've got to do is finish above us and one other,......

Not really a fire sale as its only a sale on 2012 and 2013 stock!

All 2014 stock is full price. I think its a decent idea get rid of the older stock even if its a reduced price than hold on to it and get nothing for it!

Nice to see the heritage shirts seemed to have sold pretty well... they may have been more in the back but the display of them was very low

Was helping out in the shop this morning and can assure you that was all there was left and no more stock of the heritage shirts were in the back.

If he actually gave a toss about the club's survival and not making a quick buck (the lack of opportunity to do so is, IMO, why he wanted out in the first place) he'd have been more open to coming to an amicable agreement over the transfer of ownership rather than an intractable "I want my money back" stance.

Wonder if I can do the same and demand back all the money I paid into the club last season?

I'm struggling to see how making a quick buck is consistent with wanting your money back? If you were making quick bucks then how come you're owed six figure sums? Or more? What evidence is there OK was after a quick buck? I haven't seen any

You mean evidence beyond the creative book keeping that meant the books were tailored for whoever was to be looking at them?

I think when OK rode in on his white charger he thought more cash would be coming into the club: bigger gates, more sponsorship but learnt very quickly what ownership of a SL club means in reality. It looks like he still imagines he can recover some of his cash tough he seems to realise it cannot come from the club itself but from the people he hoped would take it off his hands. OK might have wanted to get the club out of the hole it had got into but some of his operatives seemef to be equiped with spades to make the hole bigger.

Hope you can prove that, Roofy? You might be on dodgy ground if you can't, and I'd edit it even if I could prove it, to be honest.

It seems to have been a case of over expectation, strongly mixed with some naivety and a strong dose of unrealistic projections but suggestions of illegality are not really wise, imo.

Just out of interest it is an actual legal obligation on a company's directors to keep accurate books of account.
