Common Tater Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 There's a really interesting article about Mr Heaney in today's Western Morning News. I read it and found it disturbing. Odd no-one has picked it up already for comment on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 You are obviously referring to the following... http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/Takeover-depends-separate-property-deal/story-13049658-detail/story.html Is anyone really surprised at the stories that surround Heaney anymore ? You were all warned ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishteddyboy Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 From what I read, Mr Heaney who is supposed to be "Only the front man" needs to complete a separate deal to raise money to help purchase Plymouth Argyle. Why if he is only the front man. If his money is used to fund the Argyle takeover he effectively has a hand in 2 football clubs. I thought this wasn't allowed. I wonder if this so-called Bishop International Limited is really Mr Heaney under a different name. Remember he has already tried to put in a bid for Argyle using a company named after one of his ex's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I remember posting information related to his involvement in the takeover on a seperate thread fairly recently. The usual contributors to Truro City related threads were pretty quiet, and one or two seemed unconcerned. I wonder what they think now? As far as I'm aware, the Football League can still block the deal, but given that Peter Ridsdale has passed their 'fit and proper persons' test, it seems unlikely.

If you read the article carefully it says Football League reg's do not allow financial interest in two clubs. Presumably as Truro are not in the football league this would not cause any problem this year? Or do their reg's cover clubs outside the F.L. as well? Anyone able to clarify if the F.L reg's cover non league clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules apply as they would for say Swansea City of the Premier League and Plymouth of the Football League, you cannot be involved in two clubs. In theory, Argyle and Truro could be in the same Division next season, one relegation, one promotion and one groundshare situation perhaps.

Dave Deacon Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Technically Mr Heaney isn't going to be connected with the Football Club is he? ..................................."He plans to pay more than £5million for the Pilgrims' land assets, then sell the club itself to acting chairman Peter Ridsdale for £1." Personally the whole Plymouth Argyle affair is a joke. Irrespective of who is trying to buy what and how, the people I feel sorry for are the genuine supporters who having already been let down by very shoddy management of the club, are still, with barely days to go before their new season, no better off when it comes to having a settled future! Let's hope if Mr Heaney is unable to cough up with the money by the due date, that someone else with the funds gets the chance to sort it, and quickly.

The Professor Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Dave: There are covenants attached to the land that state that it must be used for leisure/sporting purposes. In other words, a successful football club 1) restricts anything he can physically do with that land, and 2) means that he will inevitably have a vested interest in the success of the club to aid whatever he CAN do with the land. There are too many council members/local supporters/trust members/friends of Central Park who are keeping an eye on any proposed development and who believe the club is vital symbol to the future plans of the city.

Mike Odgers Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Press release today from administrator Brendan Guilfoyle "quite simply we have no money in the pot for the start of the new football season this Saturday and will have to pay wages at the end of the month" "we have written to Bishop International Ltd.(K.H.) asking to come up with additional funds" copied from the Plymouth Argyle fans forum PASOTI It sounds desperation from a worried administrator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammers Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 You should all know by now that anything that Kevin Heaney is involved in is likely to be Dodgy, He cannot even keep his own staff at Truro City, Last week his General Manager Andrew Stephenson resigned,after putting in a lot of work on behalf of Truro City, no doubt Mr Heaney was not allowing him to do his job without interference, To me Kevin Heaney's Eye's says it all he looks shifty, they say look into a persons Eye's & you can have a good idea of what sort a person they are.

MOUNTAINEER Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 How many of you have MET Mr Heaney? How many of you have SPOKEN to Mr Heaney? It is pointless spouting off about things you may know nothing about. In business you do not hand over money until all the i's have been dotted and the t's crossed. Few complaints about what Mr Heaney has done for Truro City Football Club. I think the AWAY support at CHELMSFORD City on 13th August 2011 will confirm that.

I don't care for anyone, in or out of football, who ride roughshod over others. Those who can afford to pay for work done or goods obtained, should do the right thing and settle up. Heaney is a wealthy man, he is not financially bankrupt, just morally. Plymouth fans are rightly concerned, perhaps they should look to how Exeter were saved for the way forward. As for Truro fans, most jumped on the bandwagon and will soon jump off once the wheels buckle. I have always held those who supported the Red/Blacks in the highest regard and continue to do so.

The Professor Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 What IS clear is that he will soon have a vested interest in 2 clubs (and obviously provided some spin to the Football League to allow himself to do that). The proposed scale of development of the land at Argyle, coupled with the fact that success on the pitch could see the return of 15,000+ fans at home games, will surely see Argyle favoured - especially in the early stages of ownership of these projects. He needs to find a substantial amount of money just to see Argyle through this season. Will this affect Truro City? Of course it will, and the wheels could indeed buckle at that point. A few 'surely's' and 'could's' in there, but this takeover looks like it is going to happen. The administrator has even gone from referring to the potential new owner(s) as the 'preferred bidders' to explicitly using Heaney's name (rather than a consortium). What I find strange is that Truro supporters are either sticking their head in the sand, or simply stating that they are thankful for the last few years. It would be a real shame for Cornish football if this fabulous journey was to end because the person bankrolling the project fancied resurrecting something comparatively bigger and better. He's helped put the sport I love, and the county I love in the public eye. I want that to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
