My recollection was that the £300k (mentioned earlier here) was the debt in terms of director's loans owed to Les and so was repayable either by the trust or by any other party intending to buy the club.
And my recollection was that Les was to gift his shares (which was a separate item to the loans) to the trust and a schedule agreed to repay Les's director's loan over x years.
And my recollection was that HG and MS also said that they would gift their shares at some point. What I cannot recollect was whether any of this gifting of shares was ever accomplished, though I think in the case of Les's shares it was. Perhaps someone with a more perfect memory or certain knowledge can answer that.
As to
But as I said they put their own money into it
Just to be critised and slagged off
I'm afraid that's par for the course in a football director's life. Whether a director has put in their own money or not is immaterial, they still get criticised and slagged off.
