Ron Martin - HMRC Case Dismissal - Club Statement

[Petejames]

Because he is our chairman and owner???

Because he is our chairman and owner???

But it’s Ron’s private dealings not football related at all

 

[Barry.C]

No matter what you think of Ron , the law has found him innocent on this matter

So congratulations to him and his family and friends, no doubt a difficult time !

Onward and hopefully upward

Now Ron can get on with getting this stadimbuilt in 2 to 3 years time Then he can sail away into the sunset .And we can have a new chairman .What are the odds it his son .

thats good news?

Depends on whether you put your hatred of Ron Martin ahead of your support of the club.

Personally, I don't like him at all, but I'm pleased for the club. If you don't understand why, that's your problem.

Slim, in my opinion.

 

[Tinks]

Rightly or wrongly a court of this land has found him not guilty with the case dismissed.
We all have our own opinions of the guy.

With this now "put to bed" hopefully the focus can now be on the stadium and the club and going forward.

 

[tommy tucker]

Does that mean the case against him and geof king is now fianaly put to bed .Or this a differant case .

Thats exactly what I was thinking in regards to Geoffrey King

I think the two can be mutually exclusive in all honesty.

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

You’ve lost me I was sticking up for Ron… a local and honest businessman without him I’ve said it many times we would be ****ed . Three cheers for mr Martin and mr king. Hates a terrible word to , my mum always say you don’t hate them you just don’t like them

By far the vast majority of businessmen are narcissistic sociopaths, love your sarcasm though.

Not in this case, no. For now, the short to medium term future of the club is linked to/ dependent on Ron Martin.

Don't think SUFC have any sort of future while the Chairman is in charge.

People have been saying that for years, yet here we are. Just.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

That's because he hasn't realised his FF dream just yet.

 

[overseas shrimper]

That's because he hasn't realised his FF dream just yet.

Whatever the reason, we are still here. Just.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Whatever the reason, we are still here. Just.

Unfortunately that's pretty much likely to be the same situation when FF eventuallly gets built and the Chairman clears off.

If you can't see why a potentially very damaging criminal indictment against our chairman and owner being thrown out is worthy of a statement then I am afraid I really can't help you any further

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

I would be interested in knowing more on why HMRC bought the case forward, why CPS agreed to charges and then what happened to the evidence?
Something is far from right in all this and there is a bigger story behind all of this than the headlines and brief summary.

Why can’t you tel me I’m intrigued … help me out here

Maybe, but let's get through this saga first. You seem desperate to cling on to all the pessimism and negativity you can.
