They didnt exactly cover themselves in glory. The story literally landed on your mans desk.

Jesus the journalists were doing as much as they could. 


This for example was being written less than 2 months beforehand.

I’m not sure as to why JD got such cold feet over the €100k story and didn’t do what he did for years and mug off our politicians. Very strange. Maybe it was company law breach but again he could have thrown Breen under the bus on the disclosure requirements. The straw that broke the camels back was how Delaney handled it and the attempted injunction. Otherwise; we’d still be where we are I think.

Post Dated cheques are a very Irish business culture from the 80s. Its actually illegal to write a post dated cheque.

There were a number of people (probably a very small number) that actually took up a number of tickets at the inflated prices.

They then realised that there were people in their area who had been given wither free tickets or tickets that were heavily discounted.

As I've said I probably overstated that a little but I still believe they could have done a little more

We may not have heard of it yet but I dare say that it was almost inevitable that it would have broken anyway at some stage. That financial black hole was simply too big

A black hole that could well have been covered up by a large pandemic that happens 12 months later?

But their revenues would have been decimated as well.

Anyone have any thoughts on whether Mike Ashley would have called in the 6.5m loan if Delaney was still there? I guess possibly rearranged the facility and he would have gotten more cash.

See post on Sports Direct loam. This could have come again this year. Recognised as revenue etc. as done previously.

Perhaps. I think its fair to say that Ashley would have  gotten the better side of the deal no matter what happened.

Now that it has come to light surely that must constitute accounting fraud. I understand that it may not have been revealed if things had panned out differently but Mike Ashley had Delaney by the stones and he knew it.

He would have negotiated a deal that would have been hugely favourable to himself and not to the fai.

Here is what I wrote about that last week:

"As I understand it, 'The document left on my desk when I was out to lunch' is just a common journalistic device to put arms length between the journalist and his/her source - 'plausible deniability' if you like. 'The envelope pushed under my hotel door late last night' is another variant. In fact, the journalist often knows exactly who is behind it, indeed may have been cultivating/pursuing the source for some time.

This is especially important should the reporter be subpeona'd to appear in court and asked to reveal the source - he/she can plead ignorance. (Also helps if the informant has received a payment for blowing the whistle.)

Which is not in any way to criticise either journalist or informant - without it- there'd be far less exposure of the likes of Delaney and their carry-on."

Exactly.. there is a reason Tighe got the tip off. Not a fluke.

Tighe knew exactly who the source was did he not mention in the book how he got a taxi out to meet the source at a secret location after some persuading to get the source to meet him incase they were found out?
