| Quote Mark Voakes="Mark Voakes"This was your post
My vote goes for the Normanton Mafia bully boys, headed up by their messiah and Mark 'psychopath' Voakes and his disciples.
How can I be the head of a group, if I am a) not from Normanton, and b) not a bully boys - it really doesnt make sense'"
Try reading it again and this time specifically look for the word 'and' which changes your interpretation of what was said.

I didn't say you were to blame for making the club toxic, but equally this forum has an acceptable use policy which I'd advise you to read.
You are welcome to post your views, but if it gets personal (or toxic) you'll be moderated on those rules same as everyone else.'"
I'm on that group also, so also not hiding!

As long as the rules are the same from everyone thats fine.
You said 'indeed' when someone brought me into this - I have been called a mafia, bully boy - which I would suggest is personal and potentially toxic - but because its targeted at me, it appears that it meets the 'acceptable use policy' of this page.

Sorry, I had to address some personal bullying issues towards myself, after my name was brought into this thread.

| A reliable source who has not let me down in the past informs me of the below, I will admit that i do not understand the why's or hows and it doesn't really make sense but here goes:
The Ellis interest is very real and and offer is a long way down the line however there are some sticking points.
The council load repayments are a lot higher than anticipated by Ellis and he struggles to see how the club would afford them in the Championship without them being paid by directors/owners. Taking on the debt isn't an issue in itself but paying for it if we go down is.
The new stand is set up to run under a separate company to the actual club, a bit like a Stadium Management Company. Carter is wanting to remain in control of this and charge to club itself rent to be able to use it. Now I always understood that the club owned the land and everything on top of the land so I am not sure how it works or even if it is true but I do trust my source.
The final sticking point is Directors Loans. The small shareholders are happy to sell without recuperating their money however Carter wants his loans paying back in full despite what he has said in the past.

| Quote Chris Taylor="Chris Taylor"MC explicitly stated in an interview with Matt Shaw on house of league that he isnt bothered about getting his loan back. I’m paraphrasing, apologies but it was clear that in that interview that he wouldnt pursue it.'"
What Carter says and what Carter does aren't always the same thing.

Just go now you've done enough damage and if this is the case you are motivated by pure greed or someone making a success of the club, something which you haven't

I think I've asked this before but
1) when did you previously 'have the club'
2) what makes you think new guy is going to do what you want?

Being charged to use the stand goes against the whole point of it being built. Carter hasn't paid for it so should not be due any renumeration from it. If this is true and he does not relent then he's as good as lost his money anyway. Perhaps he's trying it on to see what he can get. On those terms I can understand the sticking points.
