This is another part of the story that doesn't quite add up to me.

I'm dipping deep into my memory of dealing with transferring money abroad so, I'm quite prepared to be corrected.

If my memory serves me correctly, if you want to transfer money from your account (with bank A in the USA) to a recipient (who banks with bank B in the UK) an instruction would go directly between the two banks (of course, no hard cash actually changes hands. They just debit and credit the accounts the banks hold with each other [known as nostro and vostro accounts]).

The only time you'd use a third part bank (known as a correspondent bank) is if bank A did not have a direct relationship with bank B. Even then, they'd use a correspondent bank in the UK not elsewhere in Europe. So, the only scenario whereby I can think the funds transfer instruction would be routed via a third party bank elsewhere in Europe is if bank A was so tiny it didn't have relationships with any UK bank (seems very unlikely)

Sorry if that's a bit technical and, as I say, is subject to my dodgy memory and I guess things may have changed since my day. I hope I'm wrong.

strong statement - that's a Company who's backed into a corner and are coming out fighting... it's a very sordid affair all round, football is a murky world indeed...

They are fortunately reaping their lack of communicating over the last few weeks, and months. I’m fresh out of sympathy for them.

Maybe if you had suffered at the hands of the invading Germans in their I’ll fated invasion of Russia, you may have thought and acted in a similar fashion Alf.

Yep can't argue with that...but as they say 2 wrongs don't make a right.

As an aside, Nothing was done when Putin took over the Crimea...and look where we are ?

Nobody’s money is here. But you’re suggesting he has questionable integrity whereas it’s possibly more accurate to suggest he’s a bit out of his depth and nothing more. 

Even if it meant no Rooney? No Garry Cook, and no infrastructural investment? 

Why would Ashley coming in necessarily mean Rooney would leave? Not bothered if Cook is there or not. Also what makes you think Kirchner would invest in the infrastructure? Ashley is a proper businessman, admittedly his ownership wouldn't be extravagant but it would be reliable and stable.

It's very clear that more than one party are manipulating the media to further their cause. Even though it creates extra stress for fans.

Am I in the WW2 thread ?

I hope not! - This is the George Thorne thread - although I think we may have wondered off-topic.

Funny enough, I did think it was the "International Banking - for Dummies" thread for a while there.

We're all just here trying to hit 2022 pages. Join in.

I think at the moment we just need to a take over compelted and maybe a sorry note to admin might carm them down a bit.

Whilst NDA’s will play a part in the lack of info at times, I do believe they’ve done there selves no favours some times.

As for them saying we’ve took no money, wasn’t it always the case that either their cost was paid out the cost of the club or directly from the buyer?

I don’t get paid until a jobs finished either.

I asked where his funds were from and why would someone choose to try and circumvent the AML. If that is out of his depth fine.

I've already said the Club is the most important thing. So I don't care if we go back to changing in Raynesway with no Rooney or Cook.

Financially MA would make sure we were run properly. If you're confident CK would do that fine.

Rooney and Stretford come as a pair. They seem to be in the CK camp. But they are keeping their heads down at the moment.

I was on the Mariahilfa Strasse in Vienna a few years back, A crowd of American tourists were being shown round, I got talking to one of them and told him some true history shown him some bullet holes in the buildings above his head from the occupation and how Arch Duke Ferdinands death caused WW1, He asked if he and his group could spend some time with myself as I was with my Mother and Austrian half Sister, I had to decline as I had a prior lunch to attend.

I agree to an extent. But not over the financial security of the Club, whoever our owner finally is.

I saw a comment from some Swindon fans saying things can turn around very quickly - 22 days before the season started last year they had 5 first team players, no manager, assistant manager, fitness coach and made the play-offs. So what we prefer and what we end up with, we'll see.

Fans won't forget. Especially if the one they are pushing wins and it all goes pear-shaped a couple of years down the line. 

Imagine the spectacle of, say, a radio journalist failing to ask those searching questions from inside the owner's pocket.
