Sorry for the gifs I have no idea what came over me.
The type of personality it would take to pull off that fraud would have been able to build two new grounds and sell the club three or four times during BK's tenure. Bill seems like a generally risk-averse person. That's maybe my biggest problem with the accusation. Is he a bumbler, a fumbler, and even a liar? Maybe. Is he a conniving fraudster? Doesn't seem all that likely.
The evidence points toward him being a man who is out of his depth financially, doing what he is convinced is the best thing for the club.
The whole board strike me as being risk averse and this, along with continuity, would explain the appointment of Robert Elstone, the Kitbag and Sodexo deals, both of which in my opinion were good for the club at the time.
Whilst I would embrace change, sooner rather than later, I think that in certain respects BK doesn't get credit for keeping the club going, but gets berated at every turn for his cock-ups.
Fraudster, definitely not, but does come across as not on top of things at times.

This is how I feel. There's a large difference between incompetence and deliberate criminal activity

What has he done in managing the commercial/financial side of the club to deserve credit for that ?

I don't know him personally, but @ToffeeDan's been here a long time, is a respected poster and is known by quite a few members on here.
He's just passing on a bit of what he's been told, which he believes to be correct. I've no idea if it's right or not, and I'm always wary of anything which has a timeframe attached, because stuff tends to happen with business deals to delay things, but he's not the type to post something to try and look clever or to wind folk up.
