Published Date: 09 March 2009
WEDNESDAY today declined to comment on a broadside by Dave Allen about the club's bid to bring in new investment.
Allen has also said that he wants full repayment of the £2m-plus owed to him by the club and that he has been asked to take a cut of around a third.

He has also questioned whether major funding for Hillsborough has been
secured.

Allen said no deal has been done with him about his loans and he described the investment affair as "all hype and talk."

A club spokesman declined to comment on Allen's viewpoint but added: "The board are focussing on delivering the new investment that can give the club a brighter future and will update all shareholders and stakeholders when the time is right."

The Owls have a target deadline of March 31 for the clinching of an investment deal and have been negotiating with an international syndicate.

Their bank, the Co-op, recently agreed in principle to write off a substantial part of the £21m owed to them by the club.

This bitter man cannot bear to see someone doing what he could not achieve. Lee & Nick have done such a lot for the fans of this club in a short space of time. All Allen did was alienate the fans, from the day he became chairman. He made a scapegoat of Kaven Walker, letting him take all the blame for Allens unbelievable running of the club.
If the takeover doesn`t happen, that`s too bad, but I for one won`t criticise, and will be more than happy to have my club run by Lee & Nick. I have every confidence that these two fellas will bring the good times back to S6.

Well i am not so keen on the dave also but he is talking straight here, i thought their was a special share holders meeting on the 10th of march? and he seems correct to say no majour funding had been secured
just because we are getting a few freebies does not meen we are in the clear. i think dave is correct their is no money coming just a guy trying to buy time and hope he can turn things arround. the tone was changed when Lee Strafford did the interview for the star he was saying things like we have stop the club going into admin and putting the club in a new direction and other things along them lines not saying the deal is done the money is their i think yes he has given free tickets sold tickets cheaper yep great but dont just buy the fans back buy the club anybody could come in and reduce ticket prices it was a obvious move yep give away sponcer ship to the hospital (very good they did that excelent and thank you)but boost his profile also but what about the hard fact of him bringing in the money lets here somthing from swfc regarding the money deadline day end of march will come and pass with no money and new one put in place is it another gift horse?????????

ffs allen just leave will you? he already said he was willing to sell em for 10p a share, now hes back tracking. Of course he can say a takeovers unlikely its not gonna happen with him being a *******. The co-ops agreement to cut their loan in half and the investment are both conditional to major loanees agreeing simular cuts

SWFC are doing the right thing in ignoring Mr.Allen's remarks. He's just trying to stir things up! There is an optimistic 'feel-good' factor at Hillsborough now and supporters know they are valued under the chairmanship of Lee Strafford and the CEO Nick Parker.

I would like to tell mr Allen what i think of him but i cant afford the court costs!

If everything was all hype then how come we have alredy secured a six year kit deal with PUMA.

Mr Allen was never able to get us a deal like this and how much did he pay to have his business on our shirts?
