to any of the protagonists in this whole sorry saga, going back to pre the sale of HR, what would you ask and who would you ask it of?
I'd ask any of them if they'd wank their dad off to save their mums life.
you should be an investigative journalist. You're wasted in McDonalds.
I'd ask Anne Lucas if she can sleep at night.
Never be wasted in McDonald's, you'll end up ordering dozens of nuggets.
Would you punch your nan 100% power in the nose if she asked you to do it?
I would like to ask who it was in 2003 that CCFC owed £6.5m to which ultimately led to the sale of their share in ACL, and why they raised the money in that way rather than retaining the asset.
What was in the confidelity clause back in the Richardson/McGinnity era?
repayment of loans to directors of 2m which was then lent back to club, 2.5m cleared a loan and 2m cash.
Which directors?
Loan to whom?
Why was it called in at that particular time?
What happened to the £2m cash? Was it just used to support everyday operation?
Robinson, Derek Higgs & McGinnity.
think was Higgs Trust.
Who knows - probably just running costs
I'd ask the head of the Council what they are doing to ensure there will still be a football club and academy in existence when SISU eventually leave.
Which Councillors' in the future will have favours owed to them and by which of the protagonist's?

I understand that there are numerous benefits to having a successful (as opposed to a failing or stagnant) football club. But really the council shouldn't have to do anything. What percentage of residents go to games regularly? 3-4%
But they're all ran as a business, not a community service. The council even stepped in, to the tune of over £100m for the completion of the Ricoh as we all know.
My question would be about the sale of HFR and the poor financial management at this time. We should never have got to the point of a council bail out.
Rather than council officials (who have much more important aspects of running a city to see to) worry about a football club they should be concerned with health, education and safety.
It's the imbeciles that led us to this point that shouldn't be able to sleep at night!
I wouldn't know about that as I haven't lived in the UK for years now. However, the distraction of SISU can't help.
Back to your question: I'd ask Robinson what deals he was up to!
