F.A. Meeting !

At present I am out of the country, hence a lack of online stuff on the Enquier website. I did update what I knew in last week's paper.
My understanding from Friday's meeting is that Mark Southgate is going to respond to things raised at the meeting with the FA after the bank holiday. I am unaware of what action Robbie and his team are set to do.
I am told there was a long discussion about the club's affairs - past and present - and the allegations of improprer conduct were discussed. My understanding is that NO definitive decision has yet been made about anything.
I have also spoken with a representative of the property company who have recently been sponsoring the club and have tried to bring the 'sides' together to discuss a mutually compatable way forward.
If that doesn't happen, I suspect there may be a legal battle, with 'both sides' going to their solicitors and involvement in the courts which, in the long run, doesn't benefit anyone.
That is also probably why no-one who is directly involved has posted on any noticeboard as they don't wish to make statements that could prejudice a court case.
I will try and write as much as I feel it is prudent for me to say on the Enquirer website after getting an update from those involved who will speak to me tomorrow and I'll post a link from here.
I was told that the Ryaman League were not represented at the meeting - make of that what you will - and I will try and get my reporter at the Enquirer to speak to the FA on Tuesday morning.
As I do try to speak to all concernend I am aware of some comments and opinions that were made to me in confidence but I have to respect that confidence, this isn't just about a bit of 'sensational reporting' its about trying to secure the possible future of the club, which is somethign I very much hope all parties will achieve in the near future.
I'll be back in the UK late on Friday but I hope that I will be speaking with those close to the 'conflict' by phone before I get back.
Here's hoping things can still be resolved in order to give whoever is in charge, time to get a stable ship for the start of the season.

Why all of a sudden nothing being said ? Neil Speight and the Essex Chronicle also gone very quiet thought he would be reporting straight after the meeting was held ?

What is going on ?

A simple message from the chairman or the so called shadow commitee may have helped. I think after doing some back ground work that what has happened is not illegal and the club should now move forward, i think Robbie Nash owes us an explanation as to what he intends to do with his 70% shareholding, is he going to invest to take the club forward or is he willing to sell his shares to someone who will invest and take the club forward ( i would be willing to negotiate on this ) or is going to sell the club off for development and leave with a few million pounds in his pocket. So come on Robbie what is it to be.
