Was Brands sitting with them? I thought it was Keith Harris. Kenwright only looked unhappy to me when we conceded and also when Richarlison went down.

Brands was sat with Southgate yesterday.

Heard from three different people yesterday(just fans like me, don't shoot me!!)that McCalpines and Laings are both bidding to tender for BMD also Usmanov has offered a £500 million interest free loan for BMD,that is some way to"help" as he said last week,probably Bull but you never know!!

To be honest mate i dont think anyone can know about these type of things, business peeps doing deals with that kind of money dont confide in people outside of an inner circle. The construction stuff could be true and be coming from that side iof things away from football circles, full expect all the big players to bid, just hope whoever wins isnt the next Carillion

There was a camera flas yesterday while the game was at 2-0 on Brands and Moshiri at 2-0 they looked happy - BK on the end looked like he had swallowed a wasp .....to say he looked grim was an understatement....
Again may be nothing in it, but wondering if he had heard he was losing his power ?......

Hasn't BK already said Joey (as part off the Moshiri takeover) that when a certain criteria is met that he would sell his remaining shares to Moshiri and step down? I could be wrong like.

I can't see Usmanov funding the stadium. Nothing he's ever said at Arsenal suggests he would have looked to do it.

What I could see him doing, is either formally or informally acting as security against anyone lending to us, to ensure we get a long term low rate that can be paid back over 30 years. That way the money we make back off the stadium can significantly outweigh the cost of interest and capital repayments on the project.

Yes that's why I wondered that time has now arrived, he looked misrabl on just that screen shot were others laughing, and it was at 2-0- may have meant nothing ?.....

Oh hello, I must be Nobiody.

I am looking forward to going The Park this afternoon.

Make sure you keep the dog on it's lead Khal, and don't forget poo bags.

So in essence, the basic John Moores 2.0 thing.

After yesterday’s display I am very optimistic poo bags at The Park will become redundant this season, Lou :dance:

Yes. Both were very competent business people. I think Usmanov may have more connections.

Love it Joey. Who knows about these rumours what is kocha or not - time will tel. But mind I hope some semblance of the post by Dario is right. Just the job to make that lot in the Red Shed sick.
