If it is a Jordanian bank next year, I assume it will have been done in the best financial interests of Rovers, but while we were still where we were with Higgs, then I think the raffle was a great idea, and if they continued to do it, I would be delighted.

There would have been alot of sleepless nights this week if we were still under the old stewardship. I have no doubt that Thursdays announcement would have quickly been followed up with the club going into financial meltdown.MSP loan to be paid backCharge over the stadium for Sainsburies costsDirectors loans.Just one big grab for cash from those who steered the ship directly into the perfect storm. We would be on the verge of being homeless again with no opportunity of sharing at Bath this could have been the slow death of the club suddenly moving into the fast lane to oblivion.Instead the future is so bright im still pinching myself. For the first time in my lifetime there is a prospect that we will be able to compete with the other team in bristol off the field.

Coombsy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 To me the most important things that has come out of the Sainsbury affair is the planning permissions for the phantom supermarket and the UWE which is the jewel in the crown. Higgs said the ground would get built, of that he seemed confident. He also said long ago that he would sell the Club to whoever had the best interests of BRFC at heart and he appears to have delivered just that, so I would declare that Higgs has played a Blinder. Defeat in the courts (pending) will pale into comparative insignificance when History is recorded. also said its water something or another ?

Gasheads are constantly bringing up how much 'debt' we are supposedly in, even though that 'debt' is to our owner. Still it's nice that your Arab sugardaddy has started spunking cash on the Gash.....like a credit card, it doesn't really feel like debt when your buying nice new stuff and you know the bill doesn't need to be settled for ages.

SL doesn't live here and neither does he work for HL (as far as I know), he is just a shareholder. So I'm a bit confused about the tax dodger shout. basically if HL pay a dividend to it's shareholders, SL currently has to pay less in income tax as he is a non resident (I think that is the simplified version). Again perfectly legal and not a dodge that people claim as SL is limited to time he can spend here before he becomes liable. I mean if I was in SLs position I'd do the same and move probably. I'd just choose somewhere warmer than Guernsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 So today is the day then... What exactly happens if the gas win today? Do they actually get paid, or do they just win the right to get another judgement? Either way, I'm looking forward to reading a club statement that's every bit as professional as Charlton's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it makes much difference if they lose the owner will have to put his hand in his pocket to get it built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
