However it doesnt matter - they fleece us, sp[end nothing and the money stays in the club/reduces its debts. All taht happens is that the shares go up in value since we look like such a great business, and then anyone holding shares can cash in.
This is exactly what lady nina, Dein and Fiszman's estate did. ie they got a massive backdated payday. Inf act they paid less tax this way than if they'd taken it as dividends for reasons that I cant be arsed going into right now.
The odd man out is Hill wood. He doesnt have many shares so if anyone can take the high ground and claim to be a servant of the club, its him. He did taht when he told lady nina to enjoy her payday and shut up.
