Huxford on RH

Quoted from MJMariner

I'm not a fan of Huxford but people would have been absolutely hammering the board at the time if we weren't spending the ITV money and taking the "let's not spend it in case it goes bust attitude".  Surely the people most at fault for the clubs not getting the money they were due were the League's legal people who drew up the initial contracts?

People bang on about spending money we never had but we've been doing that with Fenty for years now!

WHS

Quoted from headingly_mariner

whs and he is also looking to get his money back.

If it's a loan then he may well be getting very good interest on it so won't want it back at this time.

The other that fuels this fire for me is - JF said he was told by e-mail last week that MP should not be considered to be providing more finance... Suddenly despite MP buying his shares 6 months ago the Takeover Panel appear from no where to question JF on the 17th of this month... I wonder who's best interest it would be in that they would become involved....???

Call me cynical if you like but to me it looks like, JF realises he is financing the club on his own again so he decides to alert the Takeover Panel to the situation that happened 6 months ago, knowing, that this will potentially invoke rule 9 and make MP have to make an offer for JF's shares...

It wouldn't surprise me if JF realised MP wasn't going to finance the club any longer when he stepped down from the board in March..??? and therefore allowed MP to purchase more shares and JF chose to put his money in in loans, knowing this would make MP the new major shareholder and that this could be a good exit strategy for JF...

hE RANG IN TO OFFER HIS OPINION LIKE YOU DO ON HERE

He fella is clearly excrement stirring. . .whereas I am not

Quoted from Sigone

Don't forget spending all the ITV digital money(before it arrived, oops) on loan players, that took moneys we never got out of the club and said bye bye thus leaving us with no sellable assetts.  Then stopped paying tax running up a huge bill.  How this guy can show his face in town I will never know.  I fart in your general direction Mr H.  So now he supports dirty Leeds well, that well and truly takes the biscuit, marriage made in heaven.  Huxford 4 chairman(OF LUFC).

You missed off that list he was also a fvcking awful local referee !!

People may not like Huxford,but he is far more likely to be in the know than any poster on here,so his view is a valid one surely?

Not really. Unless he's planning to put his money in I cant see how his opinion in worthy of a thread and a debate all of its own.

The differance being Fenty spent 2 million of his own money on the club ..Huxford spent ours and ITV digitals that wasn't there.

We only did the same as other clubs. The difference is that we stayed (relatively) solvent afterwards and didn't do the same fiddles as some of the others.

Loans were a problem though - somebody should have stopped that stupidity at BP but on the other hand the fans were as much to blame as anyone, they lapped up these exotic players.
