Fenty stepping down as Councillor.

The thing is what has come out about the Alex May affair is just the tip of the iceberg,it goes much deeper than is known in the public domain,doesn't it Fellippe.

Hhmmm.......will all eventually be revealed though?

Not really in terms of the club. The club is a plc and so all investment into the club would have been transparent. If the club had accepted £1 million of investment, the source of that investment could never have been hidden.

Had Mr Mays investment been via a business vehicle outside of the club, such as a holding company purchasing a new training facility for the benefit of the club and wider community operations, that too would have been entirely transparent.

At council level, any meetings May attended with NELC for business purposes, for instance on feasibility etc. - would also have been minutes and are a matter of public record. Outside of council committee meetings, council executives and officers would also have access to records of these meetings.

There’s no cloak and dagger about any of this. Let’s be honest guys as the cards are clearly visible on the table. None of the fans May outrage is based upon anything that the club or John has done illegally. There’s no law against May investing money. The outrage is simply because football supporters felt morally obliged to vent their spline, and were steadfast in not wanting a person with a criminal record investing money in their club.

I wonder how many existing GTFC shareholders have a criminal record?

I wonder how fans would react if a gangster Russian wanted to buy the club? Or a Saudis Sheik with appalling human rights records etc.

Yea Friskney I’m sure it goes further as you suggested. Going further doesn’t mean illegality or impropriety though either.

There’s will be some very revealing clarity in due course.

I concur. The Alex May situation comes to light which then forces a resignation as Deputy Leader. He then announces that he is no longer standing for council. There is far far more to this than meets the eye in my opinion. Regeneration and property deals is a real murky world with incestous relationships being the norm.

Short lived absence. Did you just want to vent your spleen?

Perhaps a few strategic  F.O.I. request to N. E. Council would be in order.

Give over it is quite apparent that any  involvement in the club was a precursor to accessing redevelopment funds

As daft as it seems, we should be grateful to this May character, because this whole episode has led to the speedy take over, and  hastened the exit of Fenty. Had it not come to light, the Fenty would still be running the club, and Holloway would still be messing the team around. Doesn't bear thinking about does it?

'All the cards are on the table' giveover if some anonymous person had not blown the whistle and the press had photographed him at B.P it would have still been under the carpet.Could you tell us how many times Alex May had been a guest at B.P.

Yes what Noches is omitting to say is that it’s only on the table because Fenty/May/Day were caught BEFORE any transaction could take place. It’s clear with Fenty’s control of the club no one could have stopped it without the big public furore and consequent embarrassment to his political and business profile.

As for other shareholders possibly having criminal records, that is just a case of speculative whataboutism. It doesn’t excuse anything. The other key thing to note is none of the other shareholders come close to the £1m that May was going to put in so would not be able to exert a malign influence on the club.

Really Noches, if you are indeed Philip Day* you should be ashamed of yourself as a solicitor for spouting this nonsense. * my own view on this is that you’re more likely to be Stephen Marley given your recent comments and your unfortunate style of communication.

PS as for Russian oligarchs and dodgy Sheikhs, or any billionaire with funny money or dodgy human rights records, they can go forth and multiply to.
Rich crims? Nein danke!
