You know, tin foil hat time, but I've given thought, does Eddie really own the club anymore?
I mean thinking about it, maybe he originally did but, with the sums of money floating about over the last few years and Eddies net worth not really coming up to the plate here, is he like Holdsworth, a front man?

The major, rather more prosaic, rumour is that he's not well.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Whatever ED's reasons for non-communication to suggest he no longer owns the club, without anyone else picking up on it, is a pretty long reach even for the most advanced conspiracy theorist. :shock:

Hang on, I thought the Trust members were going to decide the mandate of the trust and that the Trust couldn't possibly comment on wanting to buy the club until the members decided the direction of the club. Etc etc etc.

Sounds to me an unelected few are (if Iles is correct) doing something they expressly said they wouldn't. They *are* supposed to be setting the Trust up and then holding elections...nothing less and nothing more...

I was thinking along the lines he maybe has not been the sole owner for a while actually, not just recently.

We don't know if the offshore entity is wholly Eddie or if there are some Mafia dons or Mexican drug lords involved too. Maybe a Syrian refugee has a stake in it to get a reaction from Hoboh :wink:

Maybe 'Los Pollos Hermanos' would be interested in investing.

I've decided they need a devil's advocate. I've had a word with Satan and I've appointed myself the anti-trust chairman. On an interim basis, until I can be arsed to elect myself.
That's not a leopard!

Yes, a massive four hours :roll:

If you must troll negativity across every fecking page on here then at least give it some thought, eh?!
Indeed Sir. When I'm in the US on con calls at 09'00 UK, it's fairly early in the morning in Texas. This is stuff n nonsense with a healthy dose of high maintenance thrown in.

still dont give the slightest intimation of anything about the offer to justify the madness tag. Would have though journos licence woulld have at least come up with 'club saving' or 'solid' - I dont know why I'm not thinking exciting' or 'fantastic'.
