No need to apologise mate. I may have misheard it, and if I did then I either need to get a hearing aid (the wife would be nodding now) or I should not have had that extra beer whilst I was watching the programme. By the way I used to hang around with your father when I was a nipper - send my best to Ramesses II.

Ghost of Clough Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Interesting that it was £50m for the club and £29m for the stadium (1 year after selling the stadium for £81m) It also now makes sense why the 3 potential 'buyers' are actually being referred to as investors too. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s shocking I actually thought the former MET officer being a crook was the least surprising part ?

Yes it was was Lampard left, it was the day it was announced because Samuelsom says words like "that's a shame as Lampard was a big name in China".

Listening to all this and how corrupt and unethical a lot of the things that happen in the background at football clubs work just made me feel dirty. Filthy f*****g businessmen playing their games. Has football always been like this? Probably. ? I think it has got worse because the salary levels of footballers have now created a situation where local owners are very unlikely to be able to sustain a club that is competitive at the higher levels of Championship or Premier League. There are very few people with that level of wealth in the UK - and interest at a local level. So, there's got to be international investment in most cases, and while that's a bigger pond to fish in, there are more sharks in it!

Grumpy Git Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 If Lampard knew about any of this it's no wonder he fecked-off, (although Abramovic isn't exactly Snow White either). At the end of the day any business with as much wonga flying about as football will be of interest to crooks. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure Lampard was well aware there was going to be cost cutting the next season, and that would've been bad for his brand. Weather any of this stuff was known or a factor (guessing he knew Mel wanted to sell) we'll never really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few people made fortunes out of selling passports containing spelling mistakes by the looks of it. Loved the bit where he was advising how to avoid being tapped, hilarious Ghost of Clough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
