Just been sold:

Wrexham FC is to be sold to the club's former commercial director, Jon Harris.

Outgoing owner Geoff Moss confirmed the deal, adding that Mr Harris was the club's new managing director.

Mr Moss rejected bids from the Wrexham Supporters' Trust and businessman Stephen Cleeve, claiming Mr Harris was best for the club's "long-term future".

Mr Harris, who is financed by businessman Colin Poole, asked supporters to "give us all a chance".

Colin Poole is banned (until 2018) from being a company director, and was this week reported as being struck off the solicitors roll for his antics at Claims Direct. There are also strong and probably correct rumours that one Steven Vaughan (also banned from being a director, currently in prison for breaking a police officers jaw, and the man who killed Chester City) is also involved.

If the FA (and BSP) allow this bid to succeed then they want shooting.

That if true, would certainly rule them out of owning a Premier League club (fit and proper persons test).

I'm pretty sure that this won't be allowed to happen.

Especially if this is just a proxy for the other two.
