I think our academy side has barely won a game all season.

If we do end up with money to spend dont let Freedman anywhere near it. For Gods sake buy the players that Roy actually wants

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Takeover in weeks?' by bexleydave I have seen 2 figures £125m and £215m I think one of the papers has a typo. Worrying times until we know more. Where is the money coming from? I hope they are not going to do a Man United and buy the club with our money saddling us with a load of debt? What are their plans or do they see us a a PL cash cow? Here's hoping its the right kind of owners. Yeh, it went up to 215 overnight on same feed, mayve it will double again by tomorrow and we can finally get the new stand built with a bit to spare!

This is not technically correct, he was convicted " in absentia " of abuse of power which is not the same as a corruption conviction. This was hardly a fair process regardless of the merits of the allegations. The only material thing is whether the football authorities in England have any issues with someone in the " fit and proper " consideration.

The Thai legal system is corrupt as they come. He was basically forced out as he was becoming more popular than their King, for throwing money at poor rural areas to enlist votes. Looking at who is regarded “fit and proper” currently, he will have no issues.
