New MP tries to make a name for himself by using a parliamentary subcommittee to jump on board the Phillip Green is the devil bandwagon.Two or three years I'd have agreed with everything you say.
But, you appear from your posts in this and other threads to be a fairly sensible and intelligent person so think it through.
If Green wasn't pulling the strings and acting as a shadow director, then nothing the club do or say will convince people of that, they'd be wasting their breath.
If he was acting as a shadow director, then it's hard to see a scenario where Moshiri's due diligence didn't unearth it, so, unless he was open with the authorities about what he might have found, then he'd be hiding it too.
I don't know, and can only guess at what the reality of Green's involvement is, but I happen to believe Moshiri will be good for our club so I'm happy to take his due diligence findings on trust. Obviously if I'm wrong about him being good for the club then it'd be be better to ferret about, both privately and publicly to see if the club broke the rules.
My gut reaction about Matheson is he knows no more about the situation than he's read on the internet and has had a few conversations with people who think they know something but don't have proof. He's probably well meaning but I'd guess there was a certain amount of egotism involved in mentioning it in parliament, but I am a bit of an old cynic, especially when it comes to politicians who almost all love the sound of their own voice.
It's like the feller turned up and took his coat off for a fight knowing the issue had been settled. Where was this feller when the bullets were flying?
