TAMPLIN DEAL BACK ON?????????

[Diggerthedog]

Mike- I don't know why the investment is needed, and I doubt anyone on this forum actually does know. Not have an idea, but know. However my point was, and is, that it's nonsense to say that Thommo is doing this on purpose to line his own pockets. I'm sure if he was out of a job he would still find well paid work. I can't see where the benefit is for him. And selling the club short for personal gain is not in his character. This is my point, not whether Tamplin's offer is the best one to take or whether Thommo is going about things in the right way.

BrexitDagger- again I'm not saying what offer, if any, is the right one to take. Nor am I saying that Thommo is handling this very well. I just think it's nonsense to say he's got ulterior motives etc.
But in regards to your last point- what I said was that action should only be taken if we have good reason to believe that the handling of the any takeover in the club is not being done in good faith. But the reason we would have to let it get anywhere near that stage, is because we don't know what's going on behind closed doors. The majority of what is said on here is speculation and rumour. We can only act on what we know to be true. And right now- unfortunately we don't know enough.

The consortium want to remove the existing board - source Herry Hanning's interview on the radio. Tommo would therefore lose his job. Tommo therefore has a financial interest in the consortium not taking over.

I don't dispute that at all, that Thommo will be sacked if the consortium take over. And I agree that it could easily be said that Thommo has a conflict of interest. However I believe Thommo would easily get a job outside of this club that was a decent pay, especially given his age. So although I'm sure he would love to stay in this job, I don't believe that he would do something so immoral to stay in it.

Not sure that many would agree on the ease with which he would find similarly paid work or that his age would be a positive factor.

I went to Waltham Abbey last night and stood near to the Chairman. There was a boy in a wheelchair with his mother going round the ground with a bucket. This guy with the Chairman gave £5000 to this charity. He didnt shout out "I'm putting in lots of money" to grab peoples attention, he just did it. There was no ulterior motive than to donate money to a worthy cause.

All I'm reading on here is that he's out to ruin the club with no one actually knowing the guy, just reading that he's had some business failings in the past. I'm sure if you look up the likes of Richard Branson then you'll see similar patterns appear on his way to where he is.

Let's wait and let those who will make the decision make up their own minds about who is chosen to invest in the club at an EGM rather than judge him because they've decided they don't like him.

As fo Tommo, everyone forgets what he's done and still continuing to do. He is the most approachable MD I've ever met and whether you agree or disagree with him he always takes the time to discuss it.

He carries around £5k in cash and chucks it in a bucket? Chinny! How do you know it was £5k did you count it? I work with many wealthy clients no one carries around that cash unless the are extremely dodgy.

Yet somehow this secretive gesture makes it onto a public forum. I'm sure the people and businesses that his companies owed over £2m to are touched by how his personal wealth allows him to be so generous.

Cheers Tommo.

I can actually confirm 'in the know' posting to be correct.

He paid £2500 in Luncheon Vouchers & £2500 using his Capital One Credit Card.

Oh, and there was also a clause that the boy had to lend the wheelchair to his sons football team every sunday!

:D :D :D :D

This is a ******** mess lads.

Not sure that many would agree on the ease with which he would find similarly paid work or that his age would be a positive factor.

Seems like the council love him, sure they wouldn't say no to taking him on if a position became vacant. Didn't word myself properly there- what I meant to say was that because of his age he isn't going to be too worried if he finds himself out of work. Sure he's got enough money to retire early and live comfortably.

He's only 56 years old according to his directors info at companies house. If he's made enough from being the bar manager and then MD at the Daggers not to worry about working again at 56, I'd be very surprised.

I've said it before and will say it again.... I would like Steve thompsons accounts audited.!!!

Where did the Dwight Gayle money go?

Richards, Ferdinand, Boucard, Hines, Hoyte, Labadie were all on and one currently still is extremely overpriced contracts because they were experienced pro's. Also were still paying Wayne 'change it' Burnett.

We have the answer to our cash flow problems then. Invite Mr Tamplin to come and watch his "boyhood team" play on a regular basis and make sure we do a bucket collection at games.

Job done.

Got the giggles at you comparing this guy to Richard Branson. He's just Uncle Urchin in disguise.

[dagger4eva]

At least Uncle Urchin had the decency / front to post on their own forum.

This 'in the know' post is probably one of the most ludicrously funny things I've ever probably read on a forum. Like, ever!

So, who's up for a protest next Tuesday??

[Mike the Dagger]

I wonder if it was this kid collecting? http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/walthamab ... 22560.html

In which case his Just Giving site isn't showing the donation: https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/harryparkersopfund.

Must have been cash I guess.
