To paraphrase what I was told...Woods is 'the one with the money' and has 'helped Bill a lot'...I'm not sure how so I'm not going to guess.

Yet another fable from you not as good as 'Bill needs to sell quickly due to his ill health' five years ago, but good all the same.

Lets just look at that in the light of whats happened over the last 13 years of Woods boardroom tenure.

Four points immediately come to mind re Woods is the one with money.

1 - why hasnt he, Woods, put a penny into the club and his investment?
2 - why has he, Woods, allowed Kenwright to control all matters at the club?
3 - why did he allow Earl onto the board and then to guarantee the likes of Yakubus transfer fee?
4 - why did he, Woods, allow things to drift in 2003 to the extent of Gregg putting forward the reverse mortgage for this:

Woods has told several people recently that nothing is happening and there is no need to sell as the club will be profitable with the new tv deal and the probability of increasing domestic and European expenditure restrictions over the next few years. It could be smoke/distraction/bluff but the 2 lads who got this first hand from him are convinced he was just being straight with them. The day the club changes gands does not appear to be imminent no matter what the normal jarg transfer window/takeeover rumours suggest. I'm resigned to BK, Woods et al in charge for years yet.

Well hello Mr.Snapper! Happy New Year ! Five years ago I said that it would probably be Bills health that would be a major contribution to his decision to sell. I suspect the same still applies. I don't recall saying that he needed to sell quickly. Re your other points....were does it say that members of the board are obliged to give the club additional loans when borrowing is already up to the hilt? Re the current situation, I can only report the gist of what I was told by a source close to Jon Woods who was also descibed as 'a very close friend of Bill Kenwright'. I think the info re Man City was also confirmed by Sheedy(Sheeds?), from an equally reliable source. It would be interesting to hear what Sheedy has heard lately if anything, or maybe he is now more closely involved with the agents side of the game, which was his intention, and can't divulge as much as previously, which would be understandable.

The club needed transfers fee payments to be guaranteed, nobody on that board then, and that included Kenwright and your man with the money, Woods, stepped forward.

Hence Kenwright turning to his mate Green for 'advice' and up popped Robert Earl to guarantee Yakubus fee.

Tell us why would Kenwright turn to Green/Earl if Woods had the money?

Answer is your story is just that, a tall story.

Then Woods will see Moyes leave in the summer with players following him out the door.
 
I doubt any of the major shareholders will be selling now - the team is performing well, attendances are up, possibility of Champions League next year (slight but possible) and the new TV deal plus the Premier League expense cap likely - why would a shareholder sell now when they have not sold previously?

All aboard the " the gravy train" but me thinks that the 3-4 key shareholders will find themselves isolated by the summer.
