Another name that pops up frequently with Osborne is Christopher Lewis, another with some shady looking investments/losses.

This is his wife, 25+ years younger than CO and that is his address as listed at Company House.

It has previously been posted on here.

I don't think it matters a great deal at this stage. All we know is she's a married Thai woman, 46yrs old.

Complete spitballing here:
Maybe she's CO's missus?

That'll be at least two c*cks in that house then.....

Being a Thai "lady",you may well be right.

"All I am saying is that the accounting convention stated in successive yearly accounts do not appear to have been applied. There may be a reason for it but it all seems as you say 'fishy'.

Argyle's plant and machinery value in their 2023 accounts, by comparison, was shown as £221,865 as opposed to TUFC's £2,731,691. I think that says it all. TUFC's value of plant and machinery in their accounts is more than ten times Argyle's - really!"

May be CO has been using that well known accounting practice of straight line appreciation rather than depreciation!

Whoever comes in, I would hope, will do a drains up job on the financials!

I’m hoping for someone in the Mike Bateson mould, just done steady / sensible stewardship!

Not a CO fan so this post is not in defence of him - I am firmly in the camp that he was funding the club for ulterior motives

That being said, the value of the assets have been that high long before CO took over the club. They were as high as £1.5m back in 1998, and increased by a further £1.4m in 2012 when the Bench was completed

Same accountant as Ken Dodd.

Tangible assets were around £2.6million when Osborne took over the club and at June 2022 were £2.3million

Depreciation is around £60-70k per year and there are a few small additions a long the way. Nothing really strange in that.

I wouldn’t look at comparisons with Argyle - they own the ground so classifications will be different. For example I believe floodlights are probably classified by Argyle as part of the overall Freehold and building value but for United are probably property plant and equipment. However all this predates Osborne.

If you read in between the lines of Downes press call today it would seem CO pulled funding directly when wages would have been due for this month which has caused some obvious worry

Looks like it's been sorted for this month

I cannot believe some of the responses of "fans".
Osborne saved the club from oblivion when nobody else was remotely interested in investing. He's thrown away well over 5 million quid and got nothing but abuse for his money. The council wouldn't even engage with him on where the future is going.
He didn't go to games, was the biggest moan. Well neither does the owner of Man City, or Spurs, or Arsenal etc etc. It means nothing.
Osborne has been driven out, be careful what you wish for guys. His only mistake was not getting rid of Johnson two summers ago.

Maybe if he used the money from the loan he used against Torquay united to built a new stadium and have it ready to play in. Then things may have gone better for him, but he’d didn’t so Thank Goodness Torbay council said No, and that’s why the toys came out of his pram. Good riddance to him, And just hope he never goes near any other club.

My interpretation of what happened about Wages for February, and I know it is only conjecture, is that the Solicitor for the proposed Administrater said that CO cannot avoid his committment for Februarys wages because the announcement was made on the 22nd of February just 7 days before the month end.

Had he made the announcement on 31st January it might have been different.

Not my understanding, it was due the day the news broke...

CO has covered the wages.

CO has covered the wages.

And no doubt pocketed the takings from last Saturday.......
