Was yesterday a step closer?

I for a while just thought it was the wild ramblings of the Great Grand Godfather but the more I have seen what's been going on the more I think it has been the plan all along. I am with you on starting our own if they do move us away. It will be a very sad day and I feel it has been part of the sporting philanthropists master plan.

it would because it would be started by the one asset they can never own, the fans

If we left EP it would be the final nail in the coffin for me.

Blimey.

Ok...

# Do you believe the Co-op can muster anything like the financial resources necessary to buy/commit to rent Edgeley Park from Brian Kennedy ?



Probably not. It depends on the circumstances. A Co-Op tie in with one or two current 'friendly' shareholders though? Yeah I reckon that'd work.

# Would the current shareholders of the entity underpinning SCFC and Brian Kennedy mutually waive existing contractual obligations?



They'd have little choice if we were in administration or liquidated. As we found out last time, all contracts end up null and void.

# Do you believe that affluent but not rich, in any meaningful football sense , shareholders can/should continue to 'bankroll' SCFC even though some of them are not (as I understand it) actual long term supporters of the Club? Or how do you "cut them out" ?



I don't believe they should retain an interest financially when they have no interest in the club itself, beyond its capacity to make them money. 

How to cut them out? Lots of ways. Some simple, others less so. But of course it's possible. Ideally they'll hold their hands up and admit they've made a royal pigs ear of it and do one, writing off their loans and agreeing a deal whereby their initial investment is repayable only when the club is prospering in the football league, perhaps. That is unlikely to happen. So that gets me to thinking what SCFC actually represents and what they actually own. They own little more than our registration to play in a part time league. The rest is ours to take away and do what we want with. They are nothing without our support. We could withdraw our support and take our club with us. But to do so would need a deal agreed with BK and the willingness from us to start again lower, but without the shackles of dickheads who have no interest in improving and growing the club. Sounds good to me.

# Do you believe said shareholders will/should collectively walk away from the prospect of getting a potential 40% tax rebate from HMRC on aggregate losses associated with their SCFC inc related expenditure?



Of course I believe they should. But that doesn't mean I think they will. I don't think they will, because they've proven time and time again that the majority of them have no conscience as to the continuing status of our club. I think if they want to get their 40% rebate they should get on with doing it and f*ck off, to put it bluntly. We're in purgatory at the moment and every day that passes while that's the case is a day we can do without.

# "I don't care if we have to start again." Then do you think a start up SC2 could afford EP given the overheads to revenue metric ?



Yes. That would depend on various factors of course, but yes, with a unified fanbase we'd stand a better chance of survival and regeneration than we currently do. There's no point in the current owners having a vast collective wealth if they have neither the desire to invest it nor the interest to make it count. 

# Do you think a unilateral 'start up' operation without shareholder resolution would be eligible for Skrill North ?


I doubt it. But that right now isn't important to me. I'd rather be 3 leagues down but with a steady ship run by people with a plan, a vision, an interest and the support of the fanbase. 

Don't get me wrong, if there's a consortium around the corner with a plan, a vision, an interest and the support of the fanbase, then bring them on asap. But in the absence of that, we need to force change somehow. And we shouldn't be afraid of forcing the club into the fire if it means the phoenix which rises from the ashes of that is better than what we have now.
