Very common nowadays to get things hacked from the cloud and it then end up on Youtube of other file sharing sites.....

And equally common then, as the data owner, additionally end up with a heap of trouble with the ICO as well as Ron's legals. Crate quite understandably playing with a straight bat on this. Easy for us to suggest from the sidelines that have no implications to us personally.

BTW probably your suggestion was very much tongue in cheek- so making the generally point really rather than taking your post literally.

What would be the worst case scenario if you did release it and got sued ? Is your company that wealthy that it could take a huge financial hit ?

 

[Snowy]

Release the video, then liquidate the Company after transferring all assets to a new Company (sound familiar).

 

[AlfaShrimper]

Spoiler alert.. there will not be a any "documentary" released

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Serious question and not a cheap shot at you

Why did he consent to the interview, I presume speak freely in front of the camera, only to say No at a later date

Its hardly phone tapping or hidden camera sting ?

If I had to guess, the motive for Ron (as always) is money.

I’d say that something Ron said in the interview he has since come to realise might cost him in some way or other - possibly undermining the valuation he’s putting on whatever it is he’s selling.

At least release the John White interview, it would be interesting/nice to hear what he had to say.

I don't think anyone cares about the fan interviews, because their opinions and feelings are shared by 99% of the Zone.

Any extra detailed research into the finances or structure of the club with some nice graphics would be nice to make people understand the situation we're in (rather than some random Youtuber doing a few hours of research and telling us everything we already knew...)

I will be releasing the full Ron Martin interview today.

 

[CRATE]

Following this mornings announcement regarding a further HMRC winding up order, I am releasing the interview between myself and Ron Martin which took place in January 2023 prior to the last winding up order.

I have redacted 4 minutes of the interview, for legal reasons (which is why the documentary has not been released in full). I don't believe there is much in this interview people will of not heard before, but there is some current conflicts in what he said in January to what is happening right now.

I thought Ron comes over quite well in that... All things considered.

We have one of the largest squads in the NL, yes we could've gotten a loan striker in, but RM is right in that he would've said no to more transfers because that wage bill was already quite large.

He didn't go at any of the failed managers in bad faith, which he could've! He really praised KM which is excellent and I think so important in keeping KM here.

I think apart from the money / stadium side of things, he does love the club (whether for money or from his heart, not sure) and at least he will talk the club up more than anyone when it comes to potential buyers.

Have to respectfully disagree there.

My view is that the club has always a vehicle to get him from A (the point he took over) to B (the housing development, stadium and his fortune). To get to B, he needed to keep the club going as part of the toolkit to unlock his riches. He became more attached to the club when we had success on the pitch, taking the adulation that came his way. It was also the reason he overstretched financially when the good times disappeared, which is one of the key overarching factors contributing to where we find ourselves now. The club is now and expensive millstone around his neck, on the verge of ceasing to exist - an outcome that I believe he's been preparing for over the last few weeks/months.

Anyone can talk a good game, but he's failed to back it up with actions for a long time now.

And that my friend is the problem.

It's a bit quiet - where did you conceal the mic when you recorded this?

 

[pottster]

Struggled to hear it, did Ron know he was being recorded? Is that why there is possible litigation?

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Like a politician very clever deflecting an answer, by going on about what could happen rather than what is happening
I do agree he is better saying nothing until it happens.
If supporters what to speculate then that's what will keep the forum active.

Think any prospective buyer will spend time on everything involved in the club, and unless things are moving faster than we know, it could be a long while sadly

The payments to staff is something i found interesting at the end

Well done Crate for posting and hope you do not get in trouble , hate to see another Go Fund me page set up

He also made some very poor business decisions, no doubt to try to save money e.g. dispensing with a CEO and thinking he could run the football club on his own alongside his other businesses. His previous focus on inappropriate &/or 'name' managers has also been a financial & footballing disaster.

Did this make it past editing? Not really anything has changed. We're still holding on for life.
