This is a take on the last twelve months or so, in the absence of any inside information whatsoever and based purely on conjecture from what I read on this and the other sites. I think it could be basis of a new soap if anyone from the BBC is reading.
Stanley never kept 'books' like any other business; cash slopped around from turnstile to pocket. The chairman and others may or may not have put money into the club but no-one knows or can prove the truth.
But soon enough, the Cardboard Millionaire saw what was about to happen and jumped ship to the SS Chester before the proverbial hit the financial fan. The D'On hoped he could but discovered he couldn't buy outright control or stop the fan. Messrs Khan and Marsden stepped up at last minute and threw themselves and their wallets in front of the fan to save the club. The payback was a thorough audit but that proves tricky as no books were kept (c'mon, keep up). The Cardboard Millionaire, having watched SS Chester go down with all hands on board, bobs up in his lifevest and demands his dues. But there's no agreement or proof of who owes who what, when and why. Meanwhile, the fan keep whirring as cash dries up again over the summer.
