Trying to make out who some of the other clubs seem to be, here. One of the clips has Peter Withe scoring, but I don't know for who, and I'm sure the blue and white hooped team would have to be Reading or QPR.

Was at Reading, was reportedly involved in the failed Bin Zayed takeover with us, and was on the board at Villa when Tony Xia was in charge there (which would probably be the club that the Peter Withe clip is from). Edit: Yeah, that Withe goal is the one from their European Cup triumph Edited August 8, 2021 by JfR Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gccrowdpleaser Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Only listened to end of part one but I don't see anything hugely wrong here. Presume you're talking about the way Morris agrees to write off money to benefit Derby. I would say that should be applauded rather than pilloried. Also goes to fill I some of the blanks from what came out of the supporter meeting. Effectively that would need to be agreed and ratified by the EFL in order for it to go ahead but in reality it isn't illegal and isn't against the rules really. The fact that they met someone who appears to be less than legit is also no real surprise. The meeting was set up by a known fixer and would appear to have not gone further than an initial meeting. It's like selling your house...do you ask to see all the details, background, CRB checks of everyone that comes to look around? Absolute none story.

Quote from the Al Jazeera article - "In 2012 and 2016 respectively, he set up deals for the purchase of two English clubs – Reading and Aston Villa. Both were taken to the brink of financial ruin under mysterious new owners." That's in reference to Christopher Samuelson, who Al Jazeera claim was asked by Mel directly to sell the club. Another quote from the same article - "This “ultimate man in the shadows”, was the subject of money-laundering investigations in several European countries but has never been charged." Probably the most damning is the admission from Morris he was ever working with Samuelson - "Morris told Al Jazeera... that they had not had any “formal association” with Samuelson for some time." If you ask me it absolutely stinks. https://www.ajiunit.com/article/investigation-reveals-how-football-can-be-used-to-launder-money/ Edited August 9, 2021 by mike93rh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams_man Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 If what is in part 1 of this is true, I'm not suprised the EFL are gunning for Mel. As was said in the podcast what he was suggesting isn't against the rules but again it is a clever way of skirting around them.
