Of course, the bottom line in all this is that if RC and his missus had loaned the club the money but had not been a trustee, they could almost certainly have kept their anonymity throughout. This would have been so even if he himself had been a board appointed director (as opposed to a Trust nominated one) and/or company secretary, as he would not have been in breach of any rules.
It is the fact that he was a Trustee and chose to throw his toys out of the pram over the (then) rumoured proposed removal of the club chairman that it ever became public at all. That he did that, seemingly as a result of having been given advice is very strange indeed. Why would he do that?
In his statement he wrote;
I do not wish to go into detail about the events at the Trust Board meeting of 21st May and who said what and whether or not certain decisions were made, other than to say that when I left the meeting I did so with the clear and unambiguous impression that a particular Trustee was proposing a resolution to summarily dismiss the Club Chairman and that filled me with horror because of the effect that such an ill thought out knee jerk action would have on the trading market that the Club operates in.
I still don't understand why he would believe that it would make one jot of difference.
