Am I missing something? How can a fan owned club give 90% ownership for £2m? Doesn't sound as though it can stay fan owned in those circumstances.

They aren’t 100% fan owned currently. Their Trust holds about 14% of the shares but they are the largest single shareholder

It would appear that CoL are playing the rest of this season's home games at Vauxhall Motors.

Not in the slightest bit dodgy is he?
Irrespective of Spartans financial predicament, surely the board have a duty to ensure that any prospective future owner is not a shyster or fraud as this guy appears to be. It’s called due diligence and they would be failing in their role as Directors if they don’t ask him a few hard questions about his previous track record (as we did with Connett and Rushe) before accepting his offer (which, I have to say, reminds me of the old adage “if it seems too good to be true, then there’s something fishy going on!).
The one plus point that Spartans fans can hold into just in case it does go tits
is that the Council own Croft Park.

Knock on effects of having so many home games called off. Madness how much of an effect it can have. Surely there should be a way of pleading mitigating circumstances?
