Quote: red13pjb "If there is a serious investor waiting in the wings and the only barrier to them coming in is as Wayward fan says, the JW debt then surely paying this debt off allowing them to come in with a clean slate is the way to go. Both Wayward and PYB are contradicting your own arguments. I don't disagree that JW must go and the sooner the better, but I fail to see what staying away achieves.
One big crowd in about 5 seasons for a nostalgic farewell to the Willows will not in my view instill confidence in an investor that there is currently enough interest in saving the club. I believe that we need to show that we want the club to survive now by turning up in numbers.
JW doesn't want any more time. He quite clearly wants out so why assume that getting together funds to save the club short term would lead to him staying in control. If the investor is there and ready then surely they will come in when the conditions are right for them, ie no debt. How that is achieved is irrelevant to their investment.'"
You're either choosing to misread my point or are doing so inadvertently.
I'll clarify either way: I'm not suggesting that anyone should boycott the Swinton game ( it'd be a little hypocritical as I'm going myself despite usually avoiding friendlies).
I am, however, sceptical of the motives of some of the parties involved and do not want to see the one group of people I have absolute faith in (the fans - including Forever Reds) taken for a ride.
I'm also a little dubious about this mystery 'buyer' and, until there is absolute clarity over the whole situation, I'd urge the likes of Forever Reds and Cavendish Street to keep a tight hold of whatever funds they have worked so hard to raise.
As I was going to pay on the gate I'll instead donate my ticket money to the FR fund. For those that are going can you please make sure you do the following..........
