I'm glad to see that posted, one or two have forgotten that and have done a town hall clock on him.
I'll sit back with you and let it unfold, my tin hats full of holes anyway
No lottery win last night rules me out.

| Quote vastman="vastman"OK let's have some fun.
Let's suspend our disbelief and say that Ted rather than wearing a black hat is only wearing a light grey one. So the story goes....
A few years back after the Thornes fiasco Ted saw the future was bleak. He saw the credit crunch and the image rights issue coming and he reasoned that if we didn't find a plan B for the ground pronto we would go bust in 18 month. So what he did was to take the clubs only real asset out of the equation for safe keeping. Knowing that should plan B fail we go into administration the ground would be safe in his hands and would be given to the new club with a little to him for his time. I know some of you are frothing at the mouth already but bare with me.
What our Arthur Daley protector didn't bargain for was his own personal financial demise. Which is the reason I suspect the wheels have come off and it's not going as smoothly as he hoped. I could plump out this theory but I reckon you all get the gist.
All possible..
Without me reading through all the 100's of posts, can some just confirm how much Ted has paid out of his pocket for his IOM company to own Belle Vue???

dont think it would be wise to name the investors on here.'"
I'm on about the so called investors who we have turned away since Ted took charge not the currant ones that indeed would be unwise.

Some of the stuff chucked at TRB on here is nothing short of disgusting, whether you agree with the man or not does not give people the right to insult somebody whose passion for the club is in no doubt.

| Quote Micka="Micka"Thank you Vastman I think that One notable name who tried to invest was Steve Feris himself an injection of cash at that time could have helped us to kick on, after a good season. But Ted wanted it all for himself, its called GREED !! One of the Seven deadly sins, a lot of folk suffer from it.'"
Best one ever - you're right he did want to own the club problem is he wanted it given to him. In other words he didn't have the cash and thus was not an investor. I believe he also tried to front up another buy out but that again ran out of steam due to lack of cash. Say what you like about Ted he is not obliged to sell to anyone especially someone who has less to offer than even he does.
There are many things to like about Steve Ferres a guy I got to know a few years ago. However his financial acumen is not high on the list.
That said I would not be the least surprised to see him return in some capacity.
As for Ted it's not greed IMO more vanity and now desperation - not the same thing at all.

| lets fact facts - we don't have many! Many on hear spout their rights to hear them but thats just romantic self important nonsence. Morraly its easy to make a case that fans should be told more but in reality business don't work like that. In this vauucum many posters on here have filled the gaps with their conspiracy theories fed by a one time poster and one journo. The facts that we do have make the 'Ted as self serving patriarch' case as well as they do the Ted 'wiley protector of club assets who fell foul of the crash' case. Just because the minority of posters agree with the latter doesn not strengthen the case for the former. There is no doubt his stewardship of the club has failed Im not advocating a statue to TR.
The reality is though we don't know exactly what has happened, why or what motivated it. In the absence of this detail I think some of the talk on here regarding TR is shameful. What happend to innocent till proven guilty?
