    how long have the board or bondholders known they were gonna hang baz out to dry (if that''s whats happened) has this been the long game plan since they let baz in. GT did talk a lot about smoke and mirrors. was he talking about baz or other elements. im not backing baz btw hes acted very strangly and i cant wait for him to be gone. but i cant get my head round why they let baz in the door in the first place. lets remember the same people who we were moaning about 2 seasons ago are still holding onto a lot of bonds. have they been playing chicken with our club. a time frame of who knew what when would be nice. has baz been a scapegoat from the very beggining? hes not the sharpest in the world is he?

    I seem to remember speculating on this some time ago; that he seemed a strange choice as his business acumen does not appear to be all that great on the surface?

    It has to asked has he been a "Patsie" from the start?

    I don't remember a queue of people agreeing to take over the bondholders liabilities, I thought it was a queue of one!

    I think the problem was being a PLC, all directors and major shareholders - Simpson, Rousso's and Lord Ashcroft all being prepared to sell their shares to each other seemed minimal. Thereofore they had to sell them to someone else.

    In Baz they had someone who was going to take all the shares disolve the PLC and probably sell them for a profit quite quickly. It was always likely to sell quicker as a private company than as a PLC.

    As it is the gamble has sort of worked. The Pozzo's are buying the club, but at the expence of Baz being a bit of a prat about it
