FPP to take full control

If he (as he is saying) he expects the deal to go through by the end of this month, then I assume he has already gone through the "Fit and Proper" test by the EFL....I guess we will all find out soon enough, but to say i'm worried is an understatement

 

If all this is true then it seems like another jobs for the boys with another chancer trying to make a profit from nothing

 

Remember when nobody could be worse than Short?

 

I was OK with Short until after Big Sam left....he then lost all interest in the club. He was very naive towards football and in hindsight he should have brought in a real football man when Quinny left...but thats history now.

 

Out of the frying pan...into the sun.

 

Well considering the EFL fit and proper test is mostly self certified I might go through it myself on the off chance I win the euro millions tonight.

 

Be really interesting to see what the actual criteria the EFL use in the Fit and Proper test... this should be published and show fans what is needed from a moral and financial standpoint to own a football club

 

He said wants the deal done not that he expects

 

I heard

This Campbell fella sounds a lot like his forefathers,...lying scheming and up for a massacre near a glen...bad blood will out..

 

You talking about Donald?

 

I was recently asked to head the security team at Althorpe House, Northampton which, to be nearer to family, I considered.

I had to have a full DBS check which I failed.

Seems I can own a football club but can't look after a stately home

 

Done & joined

 

Could just as well be.
Walter Mitty meets Pinocchio

 

Just been reading some of the stuff on the web about Campbell. No thanks!!!

 

Yeah pretty sceptical about him. If these supposed US investors materialise then I'd be prepared to potentially judge the bid on them, but as it stands the Falkirk stuff has made him look extremely dodgy.

And again, always worried about anyone who wants to be front and centre of a bid like this. Ego.

Why DBS fail?

 

Roker Report has done an article on Campbell and the people he's supposedly wants at the club and lol and behold another link to old Salmon Pants!

Fairway Sports Capital seem like a proper mob mind, they've got a one page Internet page! https://fairwaysportscapital.media I mean, haway, the whole thing sounds dodgy as ****!

 

I have to agree with you. On the outside looking in, due to the link with the part owner who is supposedly not involved anymore, the whole thing seems extremely dodgy - a case of "I know how we can make **** loads of money, do you want in?"
