Now the deal is done, does that mean Guillible with F U C K off? Its been a mess since he came to try and sort this out. Hope no other club has to have him and the company involved in the future. A total ****er. Crook.
The problem here is one of appearance notdistant and I keep going on about this I know. To the outsider looking in with agreed limited knowledge of either the process or the people involved, the whole BIL thing looked to be a carve up. Not saying it was but that it appeared that way. You had Ridsdale, his acquaintance the Administrator and Heaney. Ridsdale was just passing when he thought to pop in. Several months later or whatever the timescale was he is still here anouncing to the world the debts and crisis Argyle were in. Enter the Admin man at his behest. 3 offers on the table and the one chosen was BIL who just happened to want to sell Ridsdale the club for a quid. Heaney was a little known before all this and although he had failed business locally I had never heard of him. He comes offering funds which turn out to be ficticious at worst or dodgy at best. Turns out that somebody somewhere didn't like him being involved or that the funds he was supposed to have were missing. Not sure in the end which one of those is true. For 5 long months this bid is the only bid in town according to the Administrators worthy of persuing. Eventually it falls apart and plan B is adopted which has come to fruition. Now if you had no business experience at all and were looking at this from the outside as we all are then please don't tell me it would not raise an eyebrow or two. Why do people think the Administrator has done something wrong? Because it looks that way is why. I guess however we will never now know for sure and only the suspicion will remain but there will always be that attached to it.
Just arrived home.............Is this an elaborate trick...........am I on Candid camera..........I can't see any hidden cameras..........has my Skype been rigged..........well maybe it's true..........maybe it's happened ...........MAYBE IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED...........and ADMINISTRATION has ENDED.........GOOD GRIEF. This could get boring...........only football matters to talk about in future........and of course poor little Beau fading away. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED SAVE PAFC..........things could get busy on the admin side........and hopefully the players side as well.
Well, it appears to all ancient history now Sensible, so onwards & upwards [please]. But appearances ain't facts! I'm a boring fact-based person I'm afraid. Oh, and on Plan B, I'm as delighted as everybody else that we got away with changing horses in mid race. But it didn't look entirely certain it would all turn out right this time yesterday did it?
I know facts are facts and appearance lacks substance which is why I am loathed to state as a fact that there actually was dodgy dealings. I phrase it as "it looks" because that is all any of us outside can do if there is doubt. It won't stop people stating it as if they know due mainly to the old saying regarding smoke and fires. You are right of course that it is all history now and to be honest it doesn't matter anymore except the carping about the costs wracked up and the Admin people squealing that they are hard done by. This one won't go away for a while I'm sure. I promise I won't go on personally anymore................
There is a great article in the herald about who was to blame for Argyle's troubles. Here is the link (I hope it works). http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/Downfall-Plymouth-Argyle-blame-lies/story-13689629-detail/story.html
I read that mouldy and there was not much I could disagree with in it. If it was a Holywood script you could not make it up could you. I did notice that the supporters were included in there for their lack of that and to be fair they should be. How people can drop off going when the club was doing so well at the time is incredible but shows how extra fickle they are down here. But, we had that argument time and time again on the old bbc 606. I also noticed that he didn't head anyone up on the most wanted list and leaves it for everyone to decide for themselves who that might be. It is shocking though when it is laid out in fact form and what a sorry tale it is.
