This whole debacle makes Pearman look like a saint. At least he didn't swindle the club out of money, he just didn't give us any.

True.

It's hardly complicity, but you may be right, this may cause the Pearman era may be re-written... or at least a few typos corrected.

What I was lead to believe was that B Eccles hasn't received anything for his directors loan it's all gone to Ted. Eccles was in the process of taking legal action against Ted when he went into his CVA.

It's worth pointing out here that whilst Mr. Richardson's actions seem to have been self-serving at best, there is no evidence (yet) that he has acted illegally. The administrator may find otherwise, but I somehow doubt it.

The fact that our club appears to all intents and purposes been sold down the river seems undeniable, though.

What an absolute scandal.. you couldn't make this poop up...

Ted Richardson..... Don't you ever set foot inside the walls of Belle Vue again :@

Oh I forgot you own it and are charging our debt ridden club rent in order for you to pay the loan off, the money we should have recieved.

From fear of getting banned I cannot sum up how much I despise you, If I ever see you in your fancy house in walton or your many holiday apartments in Cyprus god forbid.

Your not alone in feeling that way mate.

I know that this area is a little 'cloudy' and I don't suggest that I understand even a small percentage of what has been going on behind closed doors, but I feel that it is wrong to state that WT have received nothing from the sale of Belle Vue. The money has helped to pay off debts that WT accrued to the directors for payments they had made on the club's behalf (I know that there may be a moral aspect to this regarding other creditors and who receives payment first, but many on here were berating the club if it in the future does not pay creditors as a result of going into administration - doesn't this include directors?).
The other 'benefit' the club received fom the BV sale is that the long term bank loan was paid off - it had to be because it was secured against the ground.
With regard to other posters comments regarding this affair, I don't know and as I have stated I can't follow it but it does reflect badly on the club.
What I think is happening is that we are signing a three legged prop from the IoM.

I don't care how it is dressed up, Ted has looked after himself first and left the club to lurch from one crisis to another. He has abused his position and basically done what the hell he likes and then proceeded to blame others for things that have gone wrong. He has made us a laughing stock.

He is a despicable man and he and his family need to get as far away from our club as possible and as quickly as possible. In the interests of their own safety, I seriously hope they don't plan to watch from the terraces as his atrocious letter to shareholders refrerred to.

In fact all this makes what he wrote in that letter ten times worse.

is the making himself a preferential creditor, by pocketing the £750k, legal?

Be interesting to see how much the Richardson clan have taken out in wages as well.

Bet it aint small change

Over the years it has to be well over 1 million and i would imagine it is over 2 million.

For all those ranting about other clubs and how unfair it was they had 'sugar daddies' and we did not, we did, just a skint one. We were also unlucky ours called his loans to the club in, many just write them off.

Unlucky or mismanaged or a BoD spending above the natural level of the club to succeed, but in doing so, perhaps, putting the club further back than it has ever been since formation.

And for those who preached on here how we 'didn't care' if we didn't stick a grand in or how 'it wasn't much money', I hope you choke on those words. Disgraceful then when the majority didn't have anywhere near the full story, even more so now.
