I've read alot on here about this fella and will reserve opinion until if at any time I meet the Guy.

Although I did hear he couldnt even get the Life President of the FAW name correct yesterday in the boardroom, where apparantly it was very stand offish.

Clearly a total EGGBOARD I understand, with the EGG not interested in what happens to the football club and feel admin will actually suit them as secured creditors, retail parks landed, hotel on its way, egg in the stadium everything they want really! even down to a chief Exec who was chosen over one from the Prem !

Egg have their way for sure.

But Daya, what Egg do we have on the board? Mike Hall is not a director, Gethin Jenkins has been a Cardiff City fan for years and stood on the Bob Bank............

In all seriousness egg have done well from the club but with all their shares and secured loans which does mount to quite a bit surely admin would see that become of small value?

Weigh up what they have gained to what they would lose.

Very true but then again would it not be better for them just to sell what they have left cheaply to whoever?

I'd rather have a professional who isn't interested in football; than some idiot come along, arse lick the fans and proclaim their love for the club but actually be shit at running a football club.

If the reports are correct the 'EGG' will be repaid in full by September 2013, so why would they want administration?
