The situation is NOT the same as Shels; we were spending money that, in good faith, we thought we had - not secretly mortgaging and remortgaging our future. Nor were we borrowing against a notional future development as Drogheda were. We were getting real money from a real potential buyer on the basis of real heads of agreement. Whether we were right to go into such a agreement was a matter for the members and they overwhelmingly supported it, as I guess most fans of most clubs would have, if so presented. (i didn't support it, as it happens, but we're a democracy, and I wasn't going to strop about it here)
