From Bob Wilson on the other board

But worth repeating:

“They’re [HMRC] just rattling our cage. We’ve held our hands up and given them the cash and as far as we’re concerned that’s the end of the matter. There is no issue. We’ve paid them quite a lot of money. There is a small amount outstanding and we have agreed a payment schedule.
We have sufficient funds to satisfy them and everything else we’re doing. We did have an issue, but it’s been resolved. I’m more than happy.”

“TG has put in an amount of money with another amount due this week. I cannot say how much that is, but I will say it is in the millions. I have also met with Vincent Tan.
“They have asked for all the numbers regarding the club and we have given them those. They will be considered with due diligence.”
These quotes are taken from the Municipal Club meeting at which our Chairman admitted to not telling TG about the first winding up order against the club dated 25 November 2009 – when questioned as to why he hadn’t done this, the reply was along the lines of “he didn’t ask about it”.

On his exorbitant after tax wage “I make no apology and believe I am worth it,”.

On negotiations with the Malaysians

“The deal will almost certainly include sponsorship and we are already talking about shirt sponsor, stadium naming rights and an investment.
“But I must stress you don’t do things overnight.
“It’s a case of them trusting us and getting to know what we are all about”.

“We will be bringing in new players this month, I can guarantee that.
I would go so far as to say that come January 31, we will be holding a press conference to parade the players we have brought in during the month.”

“And the cash that comes in will go towards bringing in players during the New Year transfer window.”

From Dave Jones (not that I blame him at all)

"I've asked the Chairman that if anybody buys a season ticket before December 31st and the club get promoted, then we should reimburse all the supporters who have bought a ticket. The money will enable us to go and get players in, it's a fanastic offer and a fantastic gesture by the board.”

I'll highlight just the 2nd bit from the muni meeting, where everybody and his dog fell for his bullshitting.

“TG has put in an amount of money with another amount due this week. I cannot say how much that is, but I will say it is in the millions. I have also met with Vincent Tan.
“They have asked for all the numbers regarding the club and we have given them those. They will be considered with due diligence.”

With reference to the winding up order - I asked Mr Ridsdale at that meeting, while he was in negotiation with TG for investemnt did he make him aware of the tax issue his reply was no - I asked him if he wanted to retract that statement as I had an email on my person stating TG did not know anything at all about the tax issue and yes he did later say something along the lines of he didn't ask about it.

He did also say “TG has put in an amount of money with another amount due this week. I cannot say how much that is, but I will say it is in the millions. I have also met with Vincent Tan."

Put those two statements together and they dont add up do they? Why would TG and associates be putting millions in when Mr Ridsdale conveniently forgot to inform them that we were the subject of a winding up order for non payment of tax.

It is for this reason that the Malaysians are now allegedly negotitating investment with other parties at CCFC and are completely sidelining Mr. RIdsdale and will not do business until he is completely out of the picture.
