Df anyone hear the thing on this last year which was investigating whether the fire could have been deliberate?
8 of his previous businesses burnt down inn suspicious circumstances.
The subsequent inquiry was very lightweight and there are questions over some evidence that a police officer had given.
From what I understand, the book is quite smart with its allegations and never fully points the finger. But the general theory is that a fire at 5am on a Thursday morning in an empty stand is very suspicious, but one during a game is not so - because who would deliberately start a fire while there are people in it, as you say.
It's not hard to imagine a situation where someone who wants to get insurance for a fire starts one when there are plenty of witnesses about, and it quickly getting horribly out of hand. This may not be what happened but it's plausible.
Daniel Taylor wrote a few articles in the Guardian about it and there was some very odd things that happened that day (which I can't remember now as it was a year ago that I read it) which make you think this probably wasn't just an awful tragedy.
I read the allegations last year and in light of the fact that everything to do with the 1980s now seems to be corrupt, it would be worth looking into!
