Isn't he the chap who arranges a lot of the away travel?


No, that's Harold Bishop.


Apparently they're neighbours.

According to Dellor all our outstanding bills will be paid on Tuesday. Hopefully, that means something is very close.

Tuesday becomes potentially massively. We could have settled all bills which would be a clear sign that this shitshow is close to its end.

Or it could all be rumour and we fail to pay staff again, which would pretty much condemn us to L2.

Of course, halfway house of cobbling enough to pay staff and nothing else is also possible.

Snowflake Royal 50,000? So 8th in the PL attendance list? Big woop.

They're a middling top tier side who occasionally fall out and occasionally flirt with Europe. Nothing more.


That's pretty much how I have always seen them. The West Ham of the north if you will.


Probs, but with football these days being all about zillionaire's playing dogs pissing up the wall, I fully expect the Saudi royal family will just keep chucking silly money at them in order to get one up on the Mansoors. Just a matter of time, IMHO.

Ah well if he’s involved that would make the deal simply irresistible.

It seems almost fate that Joorabchian will arrange the sale to Storey over Ashley as the final dagger into the club's back.

Storey hates Kia from the sound of it mind you

Dai will accept the most attractive financial package; Kia’s job is to broker the best deal.

I reckon with Storey saying that he’s in pole position, he and his consortium might well be the ones offering the most shekels…

The American consortium and Frasers Group might not get a sniff unless the OADT means Dai will have to concede to one of those groups.

It’s all very exciting, but I’m kind of done with ownership sagas and this club now.

If Kia is a key broker, has Storey hurt his chances by bad mouthing him on Talksport and BBCRB?

I'd also go back to Kieran Maguire's comment that mismanagement in football is by idiots and scumbags. Dai is an idiot who trusted bad people and pissed £200m up the wall. By contrast, Kia is a scumbag but not an idiot. He'll know there's eff all substance behind Storey.

David Daly is a director at Fulham. Would that be a conflict of interest; or is he simply vetting the deal for Ashley? So many questions

We will end up with the Gimli impersonator Storey. Some guys have all the luck.
