Gareth Dean ( wasn’t he deliveree ) is saying his motive is to save the club, is he in a position to do so, what is his financial status, record of running a business and / a rugby club and can he be trusted.
Lee Kenny by his own admission is here as a interim stop gap, Ian Uttley took a step back with current involvement unknown and the rest have already walked away so would there be much resistance to someone coming in?

Gareth dean is a prime example of ‘ people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones’ especially when you’re thousands of miles away . However some of his ideas merit consideration.
Right, so to illustrate it’s like me saying another cowboy dealer has sold you a dodgy car when previously i’d done the same thing and when you called me out to fix it my own vehicle had broken down on route.

Obviously we all discussed it on here at great length if I remember rightly, but the writing should really have been on the wall for a lot of our fans when we got the lowest financial score out of all the teams that announced their grading scores.
I wouldn't trust Gareth Dean for reasons stated above but lets face it, if he had handed over his shares like everyone else did there is a lot of goings on that we would have been non the wiser about. I think the BOD only informed us about some more details when it looked a lost cause especially when you see the date the club was informed of the winding up order and we still had Lee Kenny telling us things were looking up after that date.
We need a bit of luck who comes in next.

Looking at time lines seem to indicate that in between Lee Kenny saying things were looking okay to the cry for help was the TicketPass demise and not getting a promised 6 figure sum.
Most have assumed that there was a connection which seems reasonable but also how it wouldn’t be reasonable to think the TicketPass sponsorship would come to that amount.
Now if that was the case it may well dispel another assumption that the 6 figure sum was only connected to just one sponsor which actually no one did say that, so was there a change of mind from someone else leading to a double whammy?
Was it even TicketPass who let us down as they we’re still selling our tickets up to last Sunday’s game and it was someone else completely?
The club have never named names of failures when this has happened in the past for at least moral reasons and causing further embarrassment and aren’t likely to.
As before we’ll likely never know with the moral being, we can’t trust anyone including our own assumptions if recent experiences are anything to go by.

Didn't Linda Kitson also mention they had a legal responsibility to ensure due diligence in passing on the trusts money in the same or a concurrent thread?
You read that much it all gets mixed up but I'm sure there will be an update soon because you would expect them to be presenting something possibly at the match today.
Ah Mark Moore a name from the past - he was the guy who weighed in our speedway track crash barriers for scrap money!

Blimey is it the same bloke from Beds r uz or whatever it was called? Tried to buy the club with its own money IIRC and it all fell through. A real low point.

Don’t know him personally and was neither championing him or otherwise, only mentioned him answering another post that said we had short memories and needed to remember what had happened to the Bradford’s fans donations.
My reply was we were all well aware of what had happened at Bradford and certainly Mark Moore was as he had mentioned it and from what you say he would be.
