Why "conspirators" though? Caisley with other shareholders openly forced a takeover. Whether he had or has the aim of ultimately owning the club remains to emerge but I wouldn't see that as much different from any other consortium wanting to do so. It's business. Well, in most respects, except the "wanting to make money" part. Did Caisley have a plan or plans? Well obviously he did, he hardly took a blind punt one morning, what shall I do, oh I know, call an EGM. Is the plan still playing out? Who knows. No reason to think it isn't, but maybe he got it all spectacularly wrong and has given up. I personally doubt that very much, but that's just my opinion.
Would I expect a highly paid specialist that I instructed and was paying to try to do his best, within professional boundaries of course, for me? Too bloody true I would. That's normal. It doesn't involve conspiracies either.
I think we all are sure some group will. We may have ended up a basket case, but still have too many attractive elements to be left on the shelf. and amen to the final bit.
I think the 'conspiracy' stems from the inference that Caisley may have acted malevolently to scupper the previous boards investment and has orchestrated an unnecessary administration with an administrator with whom he is acting to prevent other legitmate bidders making a bid. This is both conspiratorial, and as an attempt to defraud the shareholders and creditors, illegal. I know he signed Iestyn which was an error by any standards, but a criminal?
Your 'wanting to make money' raises a fair point. He's put huge amounts of time and efort in for nothing, brought unprecendented success and I think he deserves to have his efforts considered as acting in the best interest of the club rather than as something selfish and grubby. I thought Peter Hood was useless and not always truthful, but I accept he was Bulls through and through.
Let's move on eh and fingers crossed tomorrow morning will bring what we're all hoping for?
