Have never discounted him in terms of his business instincts or his ability to think creatively Adam. His development of Mill Farm is a model for us all.NORTHERNSOUL wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 5:51 am [quote="Suffolk Blue" post_id=424879 time=<a href="tel:1592065939">1592065939</a> user_id=635]

To be fair to him, if you watch his video from Thursday he admits that prior to the meeting he thought his numbers were up in regard staying up and that he was shocked when the proposal was spoke about which would keep them up.
Even says that there will be twists and turns and it is still democratic which is what he asked for
But even his friends would probably tell you that he can be a very difficult man to like. Doesn't like losing and doesn't deal with compromise or contradiction very well.

As someone who does know him personally, the one thing I can tell you is that he won't stop while there's still hope of saving his club's place in the NL and although at times some of it comes across as nothing but bluster there's a lot more to it than that and I believe his allegiance with the Ebbsfleet owner makes them collectively stronger than both of them acting individually but you're right he definitely hates losing and certainly it isn't something that he.s used to. I still think the way out that satisfies everybody is that the NL run with two extra clubs next year and decide how to readjust once they see how many clubs they lose to the pandemic.

Not sure that would pass the FA council as it unbalanced the leagues further.
I wonder if him and Ebbsfleet really do go through with legal action. He said himself that it was extremely difficult and pointed to the South Shields case. I listened carefully to a sports lawyer on the radio last week when the whole Peterborough, Tranmere, Sunderland, Stevenage EFL campaign was going on. His thoughts were that it would be very unlikely to win a case, pointing out that the clubs legal basis was that PPG was an unreliable method of predicting outcomes. He said that PPG wasn’t being used as a prediction formula but rather a means of bringing the season to an end using current and factual data available and from that, each team is given a total, eg. 1.92 and that total then forms your place in the table. Future games aren’t being predicted and can’t be played so it was therefore a fair system.
I was doubtful at first but the lack of any legal action from those hard done to in the EFL suggests he may be right and that the EFL resolution is legally sound.
