ASCPFC Pro-Cathedral/caravan park 14 May 19 9.14am
Originally posted by Sherlock II You are correct, Thaksin is a folk hero in the poorer north and north east of Thailand and the working class areas of Bangkok where his social programs gave dignity to the poor and the downtrodden. He might be corrupt but, as you say, so are most high up the food chain in Thailand. I think he would invest some of his fortune in the playing side and attract a lot of support to the club from not only within Thailand but also from China where he has extensive interests and from where his family originally came. And, of course, his sister the lovely Yingluck would be a welcome visitor to Selhurst Park. Edited by Sherlock II (14 May 2019 7.36am) She sounds like a lucky omen. Red and Blue Army!

Presumably P Diddy and Colonel Gadaffi will be part of the consortium? If so we might finally get Nugent over the line. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Originally posted by RyWa Everyone speaking like this means we'll suddenly spend money.. our current owners have a combined net worth of nearly 5 billion, thats alot more than this Thai bloke. If you combine them, we are in the top 5 or 6 richest Premier league clubs. Id rather not end up being run by a Thai geezer who knows nothing about the club. Edited by RyWa (14 May 2019 8.07am) Those American part owners of ours will never invest much more than they already have so their wealth is irrelevant. They also want out anyway so even less chance of them spending anything. A sale is obviously what is wanted and needed. Hopefully Parish ensures it’s to people who’ll keep the club safe firstly, and in the Prem. COYP

On one hand you have allegations of a corrupt official in a country where they seem to use those allegations as a way of outing goverment regimes. Interesting that he only got 'outed' when we started to be tough on the war on drugs. But then the list of Corruption allegations is so long - there has to be something there. Seems to really want to succeed in the PL, but the last incredibly unsuccessful attempt at ManCity left people like Sven Goran Erikson saying that he didn't understand football. Not sure what he's been doing for the Last 10 years, hopefully watching all the football he can get his hands on! "It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

We can't spend billionaire money on players so the only thing that a guy like this could do for the club would be to invest in the ground and facilities to increase our revenue and make us more attractive to players and new fans. I don't know exactly how City and Chelsea get away with spending as much s they have but a bit of that would be helpful too. This particular individual knows nothing about football so I would see him coming in and then selling on, the same way as he did with City.

Chelsea did so before FFP and Ken Bates had finished the stadium but with a debt of about £90 million. It’s once FFP has come in that Chelsea struggled to win titles and probably gave abramovitch the excuse not to spend. City use sponsorship from the owner’s business to fund the team. They’ll be investigated and probably face a transfer embargo imo. As long as Liverpool don’t win the league again I’m not bothered. COYP

It was Citys ridiculous spending habits that were the catalyst for FFP to come in. Having to create rules to "play fair" Basically "stop being dicks" Edited by crvenaeagle (14 May 2019 11.38am)
