When Maxwell was owner of Derby he also owned Qxford United but his son officially owned one and him the other . Dean Saunders was our first million pound player but in reality cost nowt. That’s why Mark Lawrenson was so bitter and disliked Derby ever after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that the context of who you take issue with and where they stand in the league would affect such a moral judgment. With the alleged forest owner having been accused of smuggling, money laundering, bribery etc you might have thought he would get on well with the Middlesbrough owner as they both have haulage business dealings 1 hour ago, MackworthRamIsGod said: That's exactly what Watford and Udinese were doing. And Granada - it was a three club ownership deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although didn't Maxwell's son technically own Oxford?? All I know is we got an awesome striker out the deal and their manager at the time Mark "Mr Happy" Lawrenson resigned as a result of the deal. Think he's had a beef with us ever since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipped him over the edge with Saunders as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To rub salt into his wounds Saunders scored twice on his debut for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Didn’t Houghton nearly sign for us too, but went to Liverpool instead? The fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
