What I don't understand is why Shute didn't provide the information to the Board when requested to do so. Like has been mentioned, he can come up with a press release, provide fancy drawings and wax lyrical about his vision but he still hasn't shown any real substance to any of this. If he was truly genuine about  his desire to buy their club then all he had to do was provide what was required by the Board in the time frame that was set out.

It is good to have grand ideas and a vision.  We certainly need hope.

Without any certainty over funding though, it remains just a vision.  

I will not search for my red Conoco hat just yet.

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub


The board has no obligation to answer anything except for its own amusement and, for all we know, this Shutes plan may be for real or just him amusing himself on the computer during lockdown. The board may have nil credibility but it has the one thing Shutes doesn’t - it has the club. That puts the board in the driving seat whether we like it or not and whether he likes it or not. The ball is always in his court to come up with an offer it can’t refuse.

I don’t trust the board automatically, or even manually, over Shute, but why should anyone trust Shute either? He has only drawn some pretty pictures and raised some possibilities. There is nothing else is there? Have I missed some massive cash pot somewhere? Does he have some multi-billionaire partner with a bottomless wallet and sand in his shoes?



Agree with you on Shutes. And on the board.

Talk about not answering questions. I’ve asked you a question twice now and you’ve completely ignored it.

I’ll ask you a third time. On what previous occasions has Shutes gone public with something as Day claimed and as you repeated?

Given your lack of an answer it looks like you were  just regurgitating guff fed to you by Day?


Given his refusal to answer a straight question three times about a claim he made about Shutes going to the media, I’d assume Mimma was talking balderdash

And how much is the current board putting into GTFC and the funding of a new ground?

This to me gives just more evidence that he is riding on the wider Town deal with all his plans and schemes, which is great, that money for the Town needs spending and needs to be used for what it was intended to, regenerate and invigorate the town. If he can deliver on that then thank you. ... but..

I still see no evidence that he has the private money to buy the club, build the ground and finance a lower league football club into the future.

We all know full well that Day was referring to the leaked story to the telegraph that Shutes was interested in taking over the club. Presumably to put pressure on the bid being accepted without providing any credible evidence for his vision. There is no proof that this was the case, but it certainly suggests the club weren't involved in leaking the story.
