Hindsight is fantastic isn't it. I can't remember people in uproar when LM funded the suits and hotels for the players at Wembley. Or the cries of disgust when he offered to match the amount raised in Op Promotion etc.
As had been said, we have to be very careful what we post on a public forum, but from what I have heard (and that's all it is) but I do believe, JF is correct in what he is doing. But if he had blatantly refused LM any involvement from the start, JF would have been absolutely hammered (and that would have included me). So let's not try and put this one at Johns door. Let's just hope it turns out that GTFC win the case.
I don't think it's even hindsight in this case. There were plenty of people suggesting that the Mullens brought absolutely nothing to the table other than a few grand that hardly shifted the dial. They are both complete losers.

Wasn't it the Mullens who organised that half time "entertaimment" in the form of some long haired, over the hill one hit wonder, whose name escapes me. He had a terrible haircut, terrible accent and terrible singing voice. They should be sued for that crime against music.
I believe he was on the X Factor - Brazilian WAGNER Carrilho- who Louis Walsh couldn't pronounce his name-- his call to fame was playing bongos to Love Shack. If you want one of his records I can do you a good deal

I picked up mr & Mrs Mullen’s from the ground after a game ( and took them for a meal at the premier inn on the A180 ) before he was elected to the board and his words to his wife were “did you hear what mr Fenty said to me he said if I invested £50000 into the club I could become chairman” He had no idea the person driving the taxi was earwigging and a fan

Surely you mean 'if I invest £50,000 now and then another £70,000 later I can become chairman'. Dont you?

He is probably relieved that it appears we might not insist on many checks before we let him in

Presumably Fenty and co have taken legal advice that means they consider their position to be correct and it is for Mr Mullen's legal team to prove he should be paid the money.
Pure conjecture on my part here but I do wonder if Mr Mullen fully understood any T & Cs when he initially transferred 50k to the club. Going on his not so considerable business background etc. I suspect not.
IMO had it been me and not Mr Mullen who had won the lottery (a considerable amount) and decided to give Town a portion I would not make it a "loan" out of principle.
I would insist that it only be used for a certain function (for example funding the youth team). And the cash would only be released after proof that is where it would go.
Let's hope so.
