Ooh I'd so like Mr Richardson to have prove that was factually incorrect in court, and I don't think he could as I know BR was paid as Chairman. However I didn't think GR got anything for his time as chairman/board member.

Thought I read (back in the day of course) that BR was the second most highest paid chairman in the league at one point.

In a nutshell I think Bob said something like this (I'm doing this from memory, so am happy to be corrected!):

FL had told him that Golden Share was in the name of CCFC Ltd.

FL also told him that club would not be allowed to move outside of the City unless there was a clear plan in place, that within a few years, it would be able to move back to the City.

Bob seemed to offer the opinion that everything that SISU had done recently, including the pending court action against the Council, was designed to distress ACL and pick up the Ricoh on the cheap.

He said that he could not see a way forward for the club under the current owners.

I think that was about the bones of it, at least in relation to the owners and share issue.

500K a year was his basic salary iirc.

Bob Ainsworth is a fraud.

dadgad · Apr 24, 2013

Jeeeez what a shit interview. That host is barely literate.
I like Ainsworth tho' he clearly has the clubs' interests at heart despite not being a fan.

I dont know figures, just that he received interest on his investment from the mid 90's until about 2004.

Was told this by someone at the council.

Someone else has now told me that the rate was very low, far lower than the club could have borrowed at, but that he was getting interest.

Really? Do you have any evidence?

No more evidence than that of the original post, and as I said is just what I was told. I'll have to see if I can get them to back it up, I think they were at an AGM where it came up in questions about the clubs finances.

James Smith · Apr 25, 2013

Apparently he loaned it according to notes taken at the AGM on "advantageous terms"

Notes taken at the 1996 AGM.
