Flippant bastard, but then it's not your life you're pissing about with - ever heard of Matthew Harding? Paul, Whilst I don't completely believe anyones version of the various to and froing regarding who did, didn't, might have, could have or should have "saved Leeds United" and I'm fully aware that the whole story will never be told for whatever reason on the list - although I'd have thought that if any of this could be proven it would make for a damn good book. Aslo although there have been no court action as a result of the Sunday Mirror story, I also note that the FA does not appear to have followed it up either. However, I would like you to qualify the above statement, its one thing to go on about the various dodgy and murky financial dealings that would surround the collapse and takeover of any reasonbly large business but to imply that "these people" have wherewithal to arrange for someone with the profile that Harding had at the time of his death to have "an accident" surely streches credibilty - Harding was a media celebrity, stinking rich and presumably had all the connections that go with that status and I find it almost impossible to believe that if there was even the slightest doubt that his death was any more than a tragic accident, something would have come out. Incidentally, the "I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you and anyway you wouldn't understand all this high powered business stuff anyway" answer is not an answer. This aspect of the list gets more like a "Prince Phillip murdered Diana" website every day. Finally in regard to the Scratchinshed(s), I don't think anyone on the list doubts that what was done around the time of the near collapse was done with high hopes and good intentions and hopefully did some good in keeping LUFC in existence, what a lot of listers can't cope with is the continual flow and drip of half bits of rumour, innuendo, semi statements of fact without actually getting to the full story, as I believe I've posted before in regard to this area, if theres something to say say it and say it fully with an explanation, otherwise if the innocent have to be protected then surely it would be better to say nothing and the list can get back to Alvin Stardust, curry houses and who Rich Walker wants bought/sold/sacked....a classic example being the various reference to the recently published accounts and 40 million "reasons" - AFAIK the accounts are public domain, therefore for the benefit of the list can't someone just post "I've had a look at the Leeds accounts on the Companies House website and if I've read it right we're paying Vladimir Putin £40 million a year to make tea at Gary Kellys house." or whatever, rather than all the "I know something you don't" stuff.
