       The Price of Friendship

       If you were sponsoring a football club how much would you be
       prepared to invest? If you supported that team that ran into
       finanacial difficulty, but a donation could save it, would you
       be prepared to invest more? What if the owner himself run into
       financial trouble? Where do you differentiate between the Club
       and its Administration?
       I hear a sponsor from United's last turbulent season finds
       himself £125,000 down. I can't name names, as the sponsors
       family would not be happy at the vast amounts, and we are not
       here to cause trouble.
       On a completely unrelated matter, if anyone wants their car
       serviced, why not use one of Ashford Uniteds' main sponsors:

       Normally I would have a great deal of sympathy but hard to
       sympathise with an experienced businessperson that either missed
       or ignored the very many, readily reported, warning signs.

       Blimey, it's almost like a celebrity sex scandal really. Most of
       us know who you are talking about, but nobody is willing to/can
       say because of worries about the family.
       The big question is, is it still sponsorship when it becomes
       personal? It seems to me the backing has gone way beyond club
       sponsorship and in to personal funding. Therefore, one has to
       wonder what the sponsor has to gain from it?
       Looking likely to become a battle between 2 businessmen over the
       ownership of the club and ground, now that DC's normal tactic of
       wearing down the opposition to get his way has blatantly failed
       this time, and looks likely to continue to do so.
       The problem for the dynamic duo is that this time the opponent
       has much better financial backing than their man, and doesn't
       have an angry family on his back either.

       No friends in business - just another mug as far as Mr Ponzi is
       concerned.
