Dave Deacon Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Two bidders - one with definite cash capabilities, one which is connected with the old regime with no guarantee of any cash - who would you choose? The first also is prepared to make the bond money available - why still so much debate? The league surely won't extend again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D K Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have been told that JoJo Ltd will give the bidders their decision on the lease at 11am. Any news on this? Lets hope the preferred bidder is in no way linked to the Ginger Crook otherwise this saga wont even end here! What would the opinion of the Football Community be if Truro were allowed to do a GroundHop for the rest of the season? Lets say a takeover is possible but JoJo dont play ball on the lease; would the rules allow for home game venues to change? Just wondering if attendances may improve should they go on tour in the event of losing Treyew Rd? Must be able to cut a deal with the host clubs so that it helped all concerned, it was good enough for England at one time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairman Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Having listened to James Moore speaking to Jack Murley on Radio Cornwall I am convinced that the best thing would be to liquidate Truro City to enable an investigation into the legality of past dealings at the club. I think we all agree that the whole issue stinks and people should be held to account how this once fine club has sunk so far into the mire and good people are out like beggars with their bowls to scrape up a few bob. The rumoured potential buyer has been unlucky with his past businesses and is no novice at the liquidation game so heaven knows what might be in store.

Dave Deacon Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 To balance things up - no mention I see of his successful business! * "When he sold the company [The Mortgage Group] to GE Money in 2004, they were originating over 1,000 mortgages a month with GE, with a value of over £1 billion a year. Profits stood at over £1 million each month for the two years prior to the sale."

I understood what he was suggesting Baldy, why didn't he just come out and say it himself! It just seems very sad that already we're knocking the guy, even before a penny has been paid over. But then it what we should be use to really - St Blazey got knocked for Eden; Newquay the same with Fly.be; Gilby for using the money he finds; Alan Carey for in the past having associates backing him wherever he went; Badcock at Penzance - the list goes on.

Murtagh would appear to be one more about to get crucified! Quoting Flybe & Newquay in the same sentence as Truro and a new potential owner of a club, is just plain stupid. One is a sponsor who has put in a 4 figure sum to have their name on the first team shirts and support the youth section of the club. The other is a businessman who has made a fortune from the misery of others, who when already down on their luck, were offered financial deals that may not have been suitable for them. What is his interest in the club and the potential land deal that is potentially on the table ? Frying pans and fires spring to mind... still no one listened 7 years ago, so why start now ?

Perhaps this man is seen as someone to prevent the stay of execution now and then the die hards will deal with the repeat of the catastrophe in a few years time - like you say - when will they ever learn.

My grandaughter worked for this company for 3 months - then quit. She could not condone the deals that were on offer if you get my drift. So Mr Nemesis you are spot on with your second paragraph. Also reading that the buyer pulled out the deal with a text, well that says it all. Morals don't come in to it. I have no sympathy with Truro at all. I do however wish them well for whatever the future brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
