Sorry had to go for breakfast. So will finish the post.

After 4 years of doing nothing much on our sites they're still taking money and will continue to do so for a while yet. For what ever someone would of offered 4 years ago, selling them off would of been a huge mistake.

Could Shap of made more money handing the sites over for someone to run on minimal work, rather than selling out? Don't know for sure and not in anyway criticising him, just saying selling it off for a one time sum isn't good long term. Especially with so many looking for work.

Obviously it can never be the same as it was, just asking if it's better than selling out?

And someone looking for work with the skills, maybe they could run a network of sites. Devoting a few hours to each or more.

This is only about maintaining the sites ticking over.
