Who knows ironingboard but I see a mention from Joanne Willerton the clubs accountant at the time that the bank he inherited had limitations.
Let’s all be united in the news our stadium is secure from
One bad owner and a real Gem has replaced another.November 30, 2023 at 7:29 pm #277691I only appeared to show he didn’t make money. Not for a war of words. He did so much damage but the thought of him profiting made my blood boil. I’m comfortable and satisfied he didn’t do that. But I think we can all agree we are better off without him.

I think it was glaringly obvious he didn’t pay most bills. I never once said he did. What I do know he paid is HMRC until July (left £120k debt according to hmrc statements from Sept) and wages until and including August, he obviously paid some bills otherwise how did players eat, how did phones and internet stay on, how did the grass grow, how did players get to away games on VIP busses, how did we attract the calibre of player without paying agents. If you add up what we know was paid and what I have evidence of then it’s clear he lost money. Thats all I’ve ever said, he did not make money on our club. But he clearly didn’t act correctly and was a terrible terrible chairman.
Whilst Michelle has worked wonders my concern with her is she sounds a little thick, like words are planted in her mouth and she repeats without fully understanding what she is talking about. What happens when the hand outs stop, we can’t have begging buckets at turnstiles every game it’s embarrassing. What happens when this honeymoon period ends and people are fed up with dipping into their pockets? Especially if we don’t get promoted. I know for a fact the £500k wasn’t raised by directors so she’s already lying to us. The foundation put in the majority and Jane Laws charity.
We have a stadium yes which is great news and on the face of it Michelle is a real Gem but does she have the ability to take us forward long term or is she just riding the wave that inevitably dies. I also heard a big big rumour that is starting to circulate (not from
Hilton but somebody inside the club)
This is about Rob Waltham and the real reason he miraculously found £2.5m in a few weeks. Let’s see if that has any legs. But we are still in choppy waters trust me.1 user thanked author for this post.
December 1, 2023 at 8:04 am #277715I also know that Simon Elliot has not and will not put a penny of his own money into the club, this came directly from James Moody. Also a massive concern is Michelle talking about already setting a budget with our current unpopular manager before we even know what league we will be in. She talks about using profit from this year to fund next years budget but on the other hand says how much we need handouts to survive and clear debt. She means well but she is clearly being steered by others and I doubt Simon is taken seriously, I think he’s just there because she felt fans wanted it.
Promotion is key for us this year otherwise I fear we may be playing Rushall and Brackley for many many years. Sponsors and supporters will soon get fed up with this level once the honeymoon period is over. Look at our gate in the trophy against Darlington. Less than 2000. That is what we can expect and sustainably in that big stadium we will obviously be a part time club with very average players.
I also heard Michelle mention we have 4 times the playing budget of clubs at our level. But what she fails to say is our loyal fans come in their droves at present and our gates are 6 times the average. Infact the average is only up because of the away support we take to boost their gates. Two years at this level and people will find better things to do on a Saturday, local kids will support big clubs opposed to a step 6 part time club and our club rapidly dies.
I’m paying for promotion because sustainable at our level doesn’t work.December 1, 2023 at 8:07 am #277716Praying*
December 1, 2023 at 8:13 am #277717I don’t think anyone denies that some of the running of the club got paid under Hilton. That was never the issue, but clearly a lot didn’t given the repossessions and CCJs which dated from Hilton’s tenure. I am also aware of why The Athletic piece is being delayed, and I don’t want to say too much, but it’s at odds with honest Dave having good intentions. If he didn’t make a profit, it doesn’t mean he didn’t get up to nothing is all I’ll say.
You say he paid the HMRC bill, but it wasn’t out of his own money, was it? So he didn’t lose money from that.
December 1, 2023 at 9:30 am #277725She means well but she is clearly being steered by others
Who’s steering then?
December 1, 2023 at 12:27 pm #277748I also know that Simon Elliot has not and will not put a penny of his own money into the club, this came directly from James Moody… … I doubt Simon is taken seriously, I think he’s just there because she felt fans wanted it.
So, as I have asked before, what does he actually contribute?

December 1, 2023 at 12:40 pm #277751Goodbye Dave!
It was a feeble attempt at convincing us on here that you weren’t the pathological liar that we all knew you were!
I’ll out myself now, I was the man that sat on the front row directly in front of you at the fans forum and asked of you two things, to be open and honest with everyone in the room, you then went on to give a 10 minute tissue of lies, when you finished I walked away and left the room because I knew then of your shady history.
I was also the same man that sat behind you in court in Leeds and watched you squirm, I knew then what was about to be released by the Athletic.
The claims you have made on this thread are a tissue of lies, you walked away from Scunthorpe with a bulging wallet, you contributed zero of your own money, you never had any of your own to contribute.
I’d be surprised if you haven’t changed your name again, you have Deed Poll on speed dial and a direct debit set up with them, that’s if you’re still allowed a bank account.2 users thanked author for this post.

December 1, 2023 at 3:47 pm #277760My nostradamus-like powers are not failing me.
December 1, 2023 at 5:01 pm #277764Since Dave came on here to create a fake account, pretending to be someone else and spreading his nonsense, it does make you wonder who was behind those burners on twitter.
December 1, 2023 at 5:07 pm #277765Whatever you do don’t say his name three times.
December 1, 2023 at 5:20 pm #277767Don’t encourage him!
December 1, 2023 at 5:27 pm #277769Whatever you do don’t say his name three times.
All four of them three times, or just his latest?

December 1, 2023 at 5:28 pm #277770Is there a weighting depending on how many times you say it? Say it three times he appears to spread some misinfo? Say it five times and he doxxes you? Say it ten times and he gives you a death threat?

It’s the constant switching between first person to third person singular that gives it away.
December 1, 2023 at 5:40 pm #277772Say it twenty times and an impenetrable ransom strip of land appears around Glandford Park.

‘Never trust a person who tells you it takes seconds to create a fake email account’.
They should teach that at primary school, along with ‘never talk to strangers’ and ‘never trust a man who never filed any accounts at Companies House’.

“Happy Christmas, I made it up and bent it
Sent a note saying “I love sUfc”, I spent it
Now you know, what fools you’ve been
But if you’ve missed me now, I know I’d fool you again”1 user thanked author for this post.
December 6, 2023 at 7:16 pm #277904I see SUFC are being discussed by Keira’s Maguire on tomorrows price of football podcast.
