Well at least he just hasn't pulled the plug this time

[wonder shrimp]

a genuine question here, what do you suppose a struggling L2 team is worth?

[Phoenix]

This is a fairly unique situation. SV has invested anywhere between 3 and 5 million in CCFC depending who you believe. What most people agree on is that the money has been loaned to CCFC therefore is still sitting on some company balance sheet somewhere. It's very likely SV will want that money back, or the company will. CCFC have no assetts, the ground is owned by the council, so what can they sell to repay the loans? Apart from players, nothing.

Whatever the real value of CCFC, I'd expect something near the value of the loans to be added to the asking price. If not, there's some very good accountants in Chester

[Mighty Red]

CCFC?

Perhaps CC will but it.

Oops, I mean buy not but.

[Christies Child]

CCFC?

Perhaps CC will but it.

I could just about afford it now that I've been given an extra 2.5% off VAT by this oh so generous Government.

What a bloody joke that is!

SV has invested 3 to 5 million pounds? Where the hell did Shrimpsvoices get all that money?

[edit] You should know better!!!

[RedRedWine1]

[edit] If this was in an entirely new, off topic thread... But as it is on this one and the specific 'question' is taken in to account...

Edit: Apologies, was a bit naughty..........reformed character now, on best behaviour

Please note: Alluding to any reasons, especially illegal ones, as to what motivates Vaughan & his relationship with Chester FC can not be posted on a public forum.

OK can I post what is out there in the public domain?

"Once upon a time, a Scouser in a shellsuit with the head of a bullet on the neck of an ox turned up at the Squires Gate helipad in Blackpool and went for a flying lesson in a helicopter. He paid £750 in cash. The notes were crisp and new. The chopper flew up and away over the Irish Sea, leaving the effluent plume from the Mersey and the metal prick of the Blackpool Tower far below. The chopper flew north over the grey, scudding sea to the peninsula of Barrow-on-Furnace - where they turn out nuclear submarines for the Royal Navy. The Scouser pointed to a big square of grass down below, the grounds of the non-league Barrow Athletic Football Club, and said: 'I own that.' Some boast. But it turns out that he wasn't short of a bob or a hundred million pounds.

The scally's name was Curtis Warren, his nickname Cocky Watchman, Scouse slang for a dodgy caretaker, and he was, some say, the Cali cartel's agent for northern Europe. Her Majesty's Customs and Excise had a different name for him: Target One.

He's banged up now, serving a 12-year-stretch in Vught prison in the Netherlands, a former Nazi concentration camp, for importing enough cocaine into Europe to keep the London advertising industry happy until the year 2010. Cocky had a bit of a rumpus the other day in his Dutch prison. A Turkish prisoner attacked him, according to Cocky's solicitor. Cocky hit back with a couple of blows and killed him. Meanwhile, British Customs officers and policemen, working in tandem for a Dutch judge, are beginning to unpick a fraction of Cocky's missing millions. Forget Kenneth Noye. He was just a fence, albeit for the Brinks Matt gold bullion robbers, and one with a nasty temper. Forget the Krays. They were just pathetic minnows."

Now at the time he said he owned Barrow AFC the club was owned on paper by a certain Mr Stephen Vaughan, who went on to bankrupt Barrow.

Then a minute's silence was held at Chester City last season for a Colin Smith. Who was described as a "generous benefactor to Chester City". To me that implies money and the Liverpool Daily Echo is in no doubt where he got that money or how he obtained it.

I still thinks its incredible that MK Dons and Chester City supporters were made to pay tribute to someone who, according to the Liverpool Daily Echo, was involved in destroying countless lives across Merseyside and the UK.

I could go on....

Is this man for real

To be fair to Vaughan (we don't say that often) he has rejected the offer.

He makes Vaughan look like a decent chap

[D-EZ]

That guy doesn't have a f*****g clue about football or the history.
