At the time the EADT reported that Evans wrote to Ipswich stating that he was interested in investing, all the odious Etonian did was open an envelope.

blahblahblah 2 Posted December 21, 2007 It seems to me that there are quite a few investors willing to take on teams that are having trouble paying their debts, much like there are many lions who have an interest in young zebras. On that basis, I''d say that the type of investor who would be interested in Coventry, Ipswich, or Cardiff wouldn''t be interested in us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted December 22, 2007 The odd thing Big Down Under is that when this scam is broken down the binners have -Been lent £8.1m which they are paying around £600k interest every year with no hope of getting out of it unless they remain in the premiership for 5 consectutive years. This money will be used to balance the books, meeting previous and future losses.They''ve sold the club for £3.9m, hardly making them finacially secure or offering anything that suggests a fair deal.The £32m is still owed, racking up interest.The £3m plus is still owed to Barclays and Bank of ScotlandThe capital and interest payments are still due on the various loan notes.What is also still there is the red faced chalatan who stated that he would go once the club''s future was stabilised. Again I ask. Did he lie or is the club still not stabilised ?What isn''t still there, is any real value to the shares bought by the odd assortment of deluded farmhands, rural simpletons and pitchfork jugglers who baled them out to the tune of nearly £2m a few years back.If the paupers are bleating about what a good deal this scam is then it is a measute of how close they were to collapse that they would accept this asset stripping excercise.Should she get off her backside, I don''t know but I should imagine she''s been flat on her back laughing her wotsits off at the plight of our impoverished neighbours, as have most up here.MEI = RIP (off)swich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
