We just want to do things differently and through this website maybe just maybe a way of getting action against JW might start to take shape.
As I have stated Owners of clubs have to be fit and proper people to run a football club and the LFA have a ten point test.
As Black morse has suggested is there anyone with any information that might be useful to bring to the attention of the LFA, where JW fails one or more of those tests.
My understanding is that the LFA can then put an administrator in charge of the sale of the club. JW would still be the owner but it would mean it is the administrators who can accept any bids. I would think the administrators would not value the club anywhere near JW’s valuation and JW would have to take the offer accepted by the administrators.
The sticking point of the sale of the club is JW’s valuation which has by all accounts have been met by potential buyers walking away. This is one of the reasons for the board’s statement at the back end of last year.
The accounts will have to be settled soon so they will be Intrested reading.

Not heard anything for a few years now in that regard.
Is it (as I think) a Legal requirement @gone_shrimping ??

Perhaps if that was well understood by all, people could begin to have a constructive and well informed discussion about next steps and their likely impact on the club.

Nope. Not received anything at all Ken for a good few years now.

BB I’m almost certain that what you say about the fit and proper test and the supposed power of the EFL to instigate a club sale if an existing owner were to subsequently fail the test is not correct.
