Fair enough.

For me, he's to 'all over the place'. He wont even respond to more than a few on here, which is kind of defeating the object of a public forum. You're right in saying there's plenty of soft plop on here already. The difference is that it's talked and scrutinized by us, the fans. With no other affiliations than the Clubs we support. This guy can't even decide which team he supports. Swaying from Wigan to Salford the same way we decide which underpants to put on in the morning. His employment capacity means that any old guff that's spouted on here can be redressed as legitimate knowledge, and let's face it, a broken clock is right twice a day. He seems to be of the school of thought that says if you throw enough 5hit some of it will stick.

I don't mind him being here, or what tripe he posts. He hasn't shown me any reason to trust or take seriously most of what he writes. Be it as a Wigan fan slagging us off, a Salford fan slagging us off, a Journalist, a fan, a twitter user, or an RLfans poster. His 'work' is in the public eye and it veers too sharply for me into rewording social media turd, collecting rumour from players/ex-players, and nearly always reporting a negative for the sake of it.

I didn't say every club Jools did I? Some clubs will obviously be more financially reliant on their benefactors than others. As you say about Huddersfield, they would struggle to maintain their current status without a new benefactor, should Ken Davy decide in the future to walk away from the club.

Of course its loaned jools. Ken Davy, Calvert at Cas, Eamonn, O`Connor, maybe Moran as well put money as Directors Loans. Whether they ever take them back (Calvert did) depends on the cicumstances.

Perfectly correct EB. At the moment, if Dr K walked he'd get nothing back as all the money injected has gone on running the business and paying off the previous company debt. From the last accounts I think the Cash at Bank figure was just a few thousand!

IFIRC all the money that Wilky put in was done as loans to be repaid to his pension fund which of course never happened.

Yes I don't think any benefactors in RL realistically expect to see their money again. It's just a very expensive hobby.

I lent Steve Simms 50p once in Greggs, does that mean I can write it off
