Looks like it’ll be about 2 ownership cycles ago, so probably nothing to get worked up about.

Suggestion out there seems this is more to do with Zingarevich/Samuelson era than today but guess we'll see.

If anyone else was confused by the cryptic OP, it seems to be referring to this Tweet:

https://twitter.com/AJIunit/status/1424379047006679046

Tweet contains a video, in which a man says that he is an expert in this kind of work and has been tasked with selling "the club" while animations of Leigertwood and Pogrebnyak move in the background. Another speaker says it is "the most brazen example I've ever seen".

Typical of this board to make a story when there isn`t one.

:lol:

Do you not find it interesting?

Yeah the title is a bit click baity but that’s just a bit of fun amateurishly mimicking the style of tabloid journalism.

A TV documentary that appears to be about the way in which our club was sold is definitely a story worth paying some attention to I’d have thought.

I'm hoping that this is an in depth investigation into who is responsible for that awful pop song. Someone needs to be held to account!!

It’s more on Chris Samuelson than the club itself as I understand it

Can I be the first to point out that having the words "Al Jazeera" and "bomb" in the same sentence is a distraction..............

If it is going to ‘reveal’ that Anton (or more specifically a close relative on his paternal side) was somewhat on the dodgy side then that has to be the stalest of stale news ! It was pretty well known years ago that there were extremely murky goings on.

Nameless a close relative on his paternal side.

Wonderful euphemism.

Indeed, but is it enough to avoid a little dose of Novichok?

2 observations.

1) If true, then the seller has to shoulder some of the blame for not doing proper due diligence

2) ditto fit and proper person's test.

Our current predicament stems from this ill fated sale

Football itself is to blame. Listen to phone ins and supporters are only interested in the amount of money owners spend.
