Great news for the British team. Nick is a very good coach indeed. What he did in his season at Towers was incredible. Get over it Rhodes, if you think Nick did not lose a bundle, probably end up with a shorter life from the stress and wish he had not tried this you are very much mistaken. |

Let's support the vision of Chris Finch and his committee. Presumably they were satisfied about previous dealings at interview. We owe it to the sport to back the GB sqaud and management so that we can compete properly in the 2012 Olympics. To see words calling someone a 'thief' in this forum is absolutely wrong - unless there is proof - in which case go to the authorities |

Brighton Bears fans paid money for season tickets, there was no team and they got no refunds, wouldn't you call that stealing money? And the person that stole the money- wouldn't you call him/her a thief? |

Well said Bonsai! If there is a success story in British basketball, then Team GB and the governing body are surely it. We are definastely going in the right direction on & off the court. Long may it continue and i look forward to hear of future developments. |

What Nick Nurse did at Bears was take peoples money for something he didnt give them. Generally people would use words like fraud and deception to describle similar actions. I find it astounding that people, just because they lost nothing themselves are supporting such behaviour. |

Nick Nurse is back in the country. Apparently he's a thief who committed fraud. Shouldn't someone inform the police? |

I thought he was still coaching Iowa energy- we only know he's been appointed as an assistant coach not that he's come back to GB. Tim Lewis is also an assistant and he's still in Spain as far as I'm aware right now...... |

The business folded, thats not fraud. Such ignorance. I am sure Nick is still living of the proceeds he took from you Rhodes, remind me was a season ticket 1 million or 2? Pat, with your owner being Mince I find it highly hysterical that you would be throwing stones when his legacy is one of not paying what he owes to people. |

it might not be theft, but from a legal perspective could it still not be considered as a fair old offence arround obtaining money by deception interesting because if a complaint was made formally I think it would be looked into

......and still people rattle on about Nick Nurse and the Bears..... It sucks king size donkey balls that it all turned to $hit eventually, but after 20 years of watching the various incarnations of the Bears franchise nothing comes close to the level of coaching, performance and drama that Nick brought to Brighton during his tenure. Who's to say what would have happened if the government initiative grant hadn't been pulled? Maybe we'd still be sat on the bleachers taking in a basketball dynasty? maybe Nurse wouldn't have gone personally bankrupt? maybe he wouldn't have got so disillusioned with the sorry state of professional basketball in this country and jumped ship to pastures new? Maybe not. The one thing I wish he had done is given the supporters/local businesses an opportunity to have a crack at running the club. That, I believe, wasn't fair and if questioned I'd hope he'd hold his hand up and take that criticism on the chin. And everything else? Unfortunately life can just be a real bitch sometimes. How many of those season ticket holders present at the meeting with Nurse actually approached him about a refund? I'm not talking about three months down the line, I mean there and then. He asked us all to stand by him, and I believe that pretty much to a man we did, but nobody can say that he didn't offer to try and raise the funds for those who wanted their money back. Although admittedly, whether we would have got it or not is a different matter entirely! Having said that, hearing some of the individuals that were present spouting all that cr@p about NBA affiliated leagues etc. does make me wonder what was really registering with them anyway. NBA was never, EVER on the agenda, it was a very different (and much maligned) 'potential' league that was being referred to and we knew there and then that even if the Bears did return to the BBL it would happen without Nurse I'd hand my season ticket money over again, right now, if it meant I could have one more 'Rytas' night to remember. British basketball really died on it's arse for me once the European ball was over, but even now as I have to endure season after season without basketball I wouldn't swap the two. I'm actually extremely grateful that I got to see the likes of Duck, Warren, Blalock, Davies, Johnson, White, Phillips, Alderson etc... play (and of course Rodman, great entertainment for a couple of weeks and my days did that set of events rattle a few cages), and I wish that I still was. But I'm not. Tough $hit. Think it's a great appointment for Team GB. GO BEARS!

Put simply If a complaint was made that a person solicited money from others on a premise that he or she knew to be false then that is prima facie obtaining by deception. The prosecution would have to prove not only that the money was obtained on a false premise but also that the defendant was acting dishonestly in doing so. In considering that the court would have to consider the defendants state of knowledge at the time and would no doubt look to his behaviour following the payments to see whether dishonesty could be inferred (ie running away and not answering emails could suggest bad faith). They would also need to establish whether the money went into the business which subsequently went bust or whether it was appropriated by the defendant for personal gain. It would be a difficult case to prove against Mr Nurse but their is certainly a prima facie case to investigate should someone choose to make a complaint. Alternatively of course they could issue a County Court claim against him for misrepresentation. Would be interesting to see Nick served with a summons, whilst coaching Luol Deng! (remember Simon Jordan, Iain Dowie and the press conference). |

Totally agree with Cairnsinho. I would also do it all again. And im mainly still bitter, not because i paid up money but because i miss the Bears so much and it really has changed my life not having them to watch and look forward to every week. What alot of the Bears fans are annoyed about still is that they paid money and when it all went to pot there was no communication what so ever from nick, no messages were replied to, no emails replied to, phone lines then cut off and no letter received to say sorry its all gone wrong, i think it would be easier to swallow losing out on money and basketball if he could have remained professional, held his hands up and told us that its gone wrong and our money has gone aswell as the Bears BUT he decided to just leave the country, it doesnt cost anything to remain professional. I personally as i have said am more pissed off at not having any basketball to watch, have tried Guildford, have tried worthing but no direspect to those teams, they just aint the Bears What makes me laugh about this forum is that while Nick was at the Bears he was, and no one can argue, the most hated man in British basketball, i was a regular on this forum in those days and the slagging off of nick was often well over the top, YET now he is part of team gb and may be able to raise the profile of british basketball and help raise the standard, the haters are now having a go at the bears fans. I am in no doubt what so ever that if any of you on here had gone through what the Bears fans did and the way they had to go through it then you would all feel a bit bitter still, so please please please get your heads out of your arses and stop just posting comments to get a reaction and to liven up things up just because this forum has died along with british basketball. GOOOOOO BEARS GOOOO BEARS GOOOOOO.......oh bugger they did!! PS. One thing that cant be debated is Nick is an amazing coach and will be superb for team gb!! |
