Takeover

Quoted from rancido

Surely the fact that they wanted to take the club over would indicate that they would buy out JF's interest in the club? He did specifically say that it was their future plans that didn't stack up.

Perhaps the future plans involved repaying back his loan over a period of time and it was that part of the deal he didn’t like.

Quoted from rancido

If he truly was just out for himself then surely he would have accepted the proposed takeover , if just to get his money back? The fact that he suspected that the consortium ( or whatever it was) didn't have the funds to take the club forward indicates that he does have the clubs interests and future at heart. Surely he could so easily have cut and run. He hardly lives in the area now and he could so easily take the money and never bother about setting foot in Grimsby again - he no longer has any business ties here anyway.

Where have you got that from?? He does live in the area still and he does have business ties too along with family and friends here too.

Well as I understand it he has a property in Belarus where he spends a fair amount of time and he is involved with a riding school/stable complex in the countryside near Alford ( I do believe ). He may have friends and family in Grimsby but that doesn't mean it still is the centre of his world.

The fact remains though that he does want out and has repeatedly said he does.

I think you may understand some things incorrectly if that's the case. And Grimsby is the centre of his world. It's his home town.

There are a vast number of people who no longer live in their home towns and to them their home town is no longer the centre of their world.

I understand that, what I was trying to say politely is that you are wrong about his residential status.

Quoted from Fishy_fishtails

I understand that, what I was trying to say politely is that you are wrong about his residential status.

So my understanding that he owns a property in Belarus and spends time there is incorrect then?

He hardly lives in the area now and he could so easily take the money and never bother about setting foot in Grimsby again - he no longer has any business ties here anyway.

That is the bit that is incorrect, that is what I was correcting.

His daughter has the equestrian place near Utterby.

Quoted from Ipswin

Of course you do, indirectly maybe, but by repairing the roof you maintain or even possibly increase the value of your house so what you spent on repairs in included in the value. You'd sell it for a lot less if there was a bloody great hole in the garage roof!

But what if you do your house up on the cheap. Using inferior builders and contractors that quite frankly weren’t up to the job.
What if your house was in a far worse state than when you bought it due to your bad decision making  Would you expect a new buyer to pick up the tab for your ineptitude?  I wouldn’t!
