Play off money

[BensGrandad]

I see a question has been asked of Insider about the money from the play offs.

I said that I had been told of an investigation into irregularities concerning this money some weeks ago.


The club have assured me and this board that my information was incorrect which I have accepted


Is it not about time that Beach Hut and London Irish moved on and tried to answer questions that are posted rather than keep bringing this up which has been done to death. Or is this the only way that they are able to answer my queries?

They then wonder why Insider is getting fed up with the questions he is being asked

I have copied this again in case anybody cannot read it the first time.

Everybody can read it - you did not get the attention you thought you deserved 1st time - oh well - next?

 

[Beach Hut]

The reason is because on another thread you have inferred that you are right and that something may happen and you will say your three magic words to us "told you so".

I am just clarifying this - you need to move on as you think you are still right.

In fact move of the board as you are a pain in the arse.

free speech and democracy?
People arent going to always agree with each other but it doesnt mean they need to to banned or censored

Keep posting BG, this forum is all about opinions and would be dull if everyone thought the same. Regarding footballing matters you generally talk a lot of sense.

Absolutetely. Whilst I don't agree with everything B.G. may say, he has every right to his opinion without the thought police censoring him. If impertinent questions need to to be asked then they should be providing they're not completely out of order. When this board just becomes a meeting place for a clique of obedient sheep all bleating nothing but "keep the faith," then it may as well shut down.

I don't believe in censorship either, but this is just boring repetition and plain attention seeking. Is it any wonder it gives people the hump?

Thats simple .... that your opinion not his !!!

 

[Trigger]

This place would be so boring if every post said "i agree"

This is a discussion forum to discuss things yes?... Whether they are right or wrong it shouldn't matter but there are some on here that start stamping their feet and throwing tea cups when they read something they don't like, it shouldn't be like that, people should be able to discuss ANYTHING and ask ANYTHING they like, after all that is the idea of a discussion forum.

 

[Faldo]

I agree with all the sentiments above!

Fantastic work BG. What an ungracious apology. Couldn't resist another attack on LI and BH could you.

You will no doubt have noticed that LI is one of my biggest critics and I do not hold that against him or the fact that he writes 500 words to say 3 that is not a problem.

Have you also noticed that as soon as I answer him back or try to give an explanation he backs off. If he wants an argument/discussion on a subject I am quite prepared to stand my ground and back up my issues and views.

What I will not do is divulge the names of anybody who has told me something about the club good or bad in a confidential manner whether they be within the club or outside of it. Is this wrong?

How many times do you want me me to reply to your smears and lies about the management of the club then? How many bloody times have I done that this week already and YOU WANT MORE?

Listen, the day free speech means an embittered, unaplologetic and malicious mischief-maker like BG can post smears about the finances of the club, then that will be the day "free speech" is rendered meaningless. That kind of "free speech" is a liar's charter.

Earlier today, Insider confirmed that the club had received all the play-off money from the FA.

Yet BG still asks you to believe that "something" might happen in the future to prove him right. I mean, for f***'S SAKE!

He doesn't even have the basic decency to accept he was wrong to publish these uncorroborated and unsourced lies on to NSC - there is no apology, no attempt to convince anyone he won't publicise the next lie he hears that makes Dick Knight look bad.

You will never get an apology from BG because he is motivated by a pathetic seven-year crusade to prove that he was right that Dick Knight should never have taken over from Bill Archer.

Yes, incredibly, while 99.9 per cent of fans were thanking god that someone had finally come along to rescue us from the asset-strippers like Archer, Bellotti and Stanley that almost killed this club, this clown BG was devoting his energies back in 1997 to attacking Dick Knight.

He will keep going with this crusade, he will print any lies about Dick Knight, he will raise any issue that makes the club look bad, and if you are unwise enough to swallow his crap, then you will learn from bitter experience.

This comment made me smile:

Keep posting BG, Regarding footballing matters you generally talk a lot of sense.

Yes, Ned, not suprising you've seen the light about BG's non-footballing postings. I was using exactly the same excuses, using exactly the same words, only a few months ago to defend BG's football-related posts. But wait until you see him even twist these issues in the the same predictable anti-Knight direction, finally even your commendable patience willl tire.

I don't know what any of this is about.
Something about missing money?
Whatever,when all is said and done,if Dick or any of the others walk away with any sort of profit from this sorry mess,obtained honestly or not they will only receive yet more applause from me.

 

[BensGrandad]

I passed on a rumour that I had heard from what I accepted to have been a very good source. I still do believe that the source is reliable but may have been wrong on this issue.

The club have said that they have received the play off money and I have accepted that as case closed what is the problem?

The problem is the three little words "Told You So" that you say is possible still relevant to this episode.

Explain what you mean by this ?

 

[Windmill]

Why are people trying to smear Dick Knight and his management of the club?

He has done a good job so far, but still there are people that think they have to 'muck rake' on nothing but a few wisps of smoke, rather than any real evidence.

That is not 'freedom of speech', that is mischief making for the sake of self-aggrandisement. Even if you were right it would not make you a hero, or a saviour.

If it was nothing but a rumour you should keep it to yourself. It isn't up to you to cast UNFOUNDED aspersions on people who only have the good of the Club at heart.

And that is MY opinion.

 

[BensGrandad]

I believe that the matter should be put to rest but IF there was ever any hint of a repercussion would you expect me not to say I told you so. Obviously I would but I am prepared to move on are you?
