If only

There were no bucket rattlers

The staff walked out months ago

The players went on strike months ago

The Trust encouraged a boycott months ago

The Trust money lost to the GT's was used to employ a financial forensic expert


I would suggest that the club would be back on track by now!

Easy to say with hindsight........................................................... or foresight !

Ha ha .... I expect the old chestnut, the hindsight word to be used quite a lot in the future as people cover their tracks.
As Tring says, it was all easily readable and Gob's IFs are so, so true.
The whole response was that of frightened rabbits. The only way to take on these bullies is to say no. No maybes, nof ifs, just no. If all the staff and players had refused, like some actually did, what would Ridsdale, Guilfoyle and these bidders have done ? sacked everone ? ... I don't think so, especially when they had players on their books worth a bit on the market.
A monthly wage bill would have sorted these bidders and administrators out in an instant, and left them with nowhere to go. If they had done so, it appears brent would have paid them all up to date. And while we don't know for sure, who's to say these staff weren't all primed by Ridsdale and Stapleton to colapse in a quivering heap prior to the actual administration.
