SOC1903 Statement re JR

He might well be the most experienced. But his track record isn't the most encouraging.

He was involved in placing the club in Administration on two separate occasion and almost saw the club liquidated. He also promised to only sell the club to somebody who could take it further than he and ML could and look what happened there. Not the best of track records imo.

I'm not convinced that the some of the euphoria expressed on related to his return is justified. Rhodes might well have something extra to offer compared to Rahic but as we're all aware that's probably because the bar has already been set very low indeed!

 

I beg to differ. He doesn't just have experience of Administration or of turning things around. He was the one whose actions placed the club in Administration by failing to meet the terms of Admin1. I don't believe anybody turned anything around. The best was the Administrator who at least stabilised things (in Admin 2 at least) but then allowed JR to buy the club at a knock down price. JR was then at the helm as we faced successive relegations. That's not what I'd call experience of turning things around.
