To answer your point Snowie, for the police to investigate, a complaint has to be made to them . I often wandered why WMDC remained virtually silent in the whole affair? Surely they would have been the ones to complain if public funds were missing, and unaccounted for?
A police investigation may well have shown a genuine reason for the funds being withdrawn, but as it was public money there should surely have been an audit trail as to where it went and why?
Anyway it's political muckraking from the past, and hopefully better times ahead for us as we move on.

we talk about an audit trail and the fact that public funds have gone missing that should be the basis of who was in control at the time to audit them, if we have a date then surely we have a name to in which to inquire where they have gone

I think a lot more questions should have been asked at the time by people who were responsible for that money being spent.
They weren’t and it’s so long ago now nobody seems to care!

The problem was that at the time the only people who had the knowledge to ask the questions were the same people whose actions were questionable. As an ex-copper you will have seen that situation a few times.

sorry that's just tosh, if that's the case the ones your questioning should openly explain where its gone, surely the club can ask or was the club also involved at the time, and now that's changed they have a right to question it now

can we get Neil to write a book about it

Re: New Stadium Updates : Fri Apr 09, 2021 3:49 pm  

He has already written one in which the main suspect was called Peter Box (The darkness around her) .I guess there are plenty of other characters involved in the ongoing fiasco who could lend their names to a "fictional" literary work !
My usual commission rates apply Slugger.

You just don't understand the real world, shame

Stop being truculent, of course, I'd like that to happen, so why don't you go and make it happen? Then if you do then let me know and I'll buy you a pint but remember I'm 58 and you look even older and the average life expectancy for a British male is not that long.

Not the only paperwork that "disappeared" during the whole Newmarket fiasco.
