Quoted from Mariner8
Remember hearing on here that one of the consortium member is the son of John Petit of Petit's butchers.

Just had a slight thought/worry which someone might be able to shed some light on.

Do we know for sure he is the butcher's son?

If he is, indeed, the butcher's son, and is supposedly a wealthy investor, rich enough to put money into the club and push us forward etc, why would he have allowed his father/family business of 125 years to go out if business?

This doesn't give off the 'wealthy investor' rolling in surplus, expendable cash....

For the record I am incredibly excited by the prospect of the takeover etc, I'm just trying to iron out a few questions/concerns.

The last thing I want is for the club to end up less financially stable.



Who says he 'allowed' it?
Strange thing to say
Almost certainly factors beyond his control

When I first left school I wanted to be a butcher (nothing like what I do now) I wrote to John Pettit who though he didn’t have any vacancies invited me down to his shop to talk me through what it was like and what I’d need to learn, the reality of the early mornings, cleaning down etc.. etc..

He then got on the phone to one of his mates in the trade who he thought may have a vacancy, so I went over there and the chap offers me a job that day, trainee apprentice kind of thing.

In the end I didn’t end up starting as I got offered something else but John Pettit took time to take an interest in me as I’d taken the time to write to him, at the time I thought he was very kind and to this day still do.

I’m really not sure what his beef is to be honest.
