Memory Lane The Blue Knights

[Yorkshire Blue]

Whatever happened to these guys?

Were they not tempted to try and rescue the club this time around?

Does anyone know who was in this group?

Are they now all too old and past it or like Carl’s bid were they only really ever in it for the property?

I believe one of the Gerschlick boys was part of it.

He was on here as well

Yeah, don't recall exactly his name, but it was an area of London and then Shrimper.

Elstree wasn’t it. Actually he posted well and articulately.

Thought it was the Rubin sons behind it. (Didn’t one of them pay for some cheap pr in a newspaper about how to run a football club?) and would just have been in it for the land.

Spot on. Lovely post that.

Here is that cringeworthy PR piece - https://amp.theguardian.com/football/football-league-blog/2010/sep/09/how-to-run-football-club

Yes it was ElstreeBlue - Paul G, his dad Alan and the Rubin’s were involved, headed up by Mark. Paul is not only articulate but a decent guy, yet another burned by the club and the sorry shambles of its leadership.

The PR wasn’t paid, it was sorted by my mate Will - even back then the club were extremely defensive and I believe (but could be wrong) that they put the frighteners on Daily Mail from publishing when asked for comment. Like you I wasn’t keen on the content but that likely would’ve been what was commissioned by the editor.

Their approach was an administration and clean slate. Probably would’ve been a wise choice with hindsight.

Only in it for the property? **** off.

As I’ve said previously on here, I’ll help anyone looking to acquire, and have spoken to two of the bidders since. My intentions were to own my boyhood club, which sadly is looking like it’s going down the pan. I couldn’t do that without the land, or more accurately couldn’t do that with the risk of the land outside of the stadium development impairing the wider project. Would you trust that the access roads etc would be financed based on what you’ve seen so far?

No, I messaged Paul a few months ago, he’s sadly long since lost interest in the club emotionally, despite being a lifetime supporter.

More likely no interest in dealing with Ron rather than no interest in the club. Mark Rubin goes to most home games and many away games too.

Sorry, I was talking about Paul, edited

So @Carl, if you've spoken to other bidders do you believe (or know) there is a credible alternative to Kimura on the table?

Was a good read ,very sensible too, in fact probably too much sense spoken in it for the knobs who run football to understand .Gosh the Rubins owned the club way back when i was a kid .Didnt have all this sh**e and goings on back then , was a happy club ,well supported and had decent players too . What did the late Tina Turner sing "If i could turn back time "
