You make too much presumption. I may not like him, but I am not going to start trusting the words of a serial liar regardless. I carry no resentful grudge about where we are, I am thankful that we now have a trustworthy board, but if dodgy Dave is going to try and sucker people again and put forward more woe is me nonsense he can stuff it. It doesn’t take away the issues that he created, the debts he created, including the CCJs and more which came from his time and all he had were excuses and lies.
As for the rest, none of that disproves anything. It wasn’t just Slater who dug into him, and we are again relying on words of a serial liar.
