Wasn't Paolo Di Canio touting when he joined us that he was very friendly with the Chairman of AC Milan Adriano Galliani?
Yes here it is...

Can't see Burlosconi/Galliani being interested. They're having to do cut backs at Milan.

Paolo did say that he and Phil Spencer were making some enquiries to friends and aquaintances about them buying the club. Its not difficult to suggest that Paolo would indeed be a part of the negotiations at least.

I realise it's not the same Phil Spencer, but every time I read Paolo's agent's name in relation to all this, I have a vision of Kirsty Alsopp showing prospective buyers around the County Ground
"As you can see, there's real potential to do something special with this place and although the second concourse is a little disappointing, I reckon we can get this significantly under the asking price."

As I understand it Spencer has been quite heavily involved in trying to source new investors. Imagine he has a decent contact book to be fair. |

Selling a club is a lot like selling a house. I’m glad we have Phil Spencer on board, I don’t rate that Kirstie Allsopp that much. |

I genuinely know nothing about the background of Phil Spencer at all other than he has been Paolos agent since his Premier League days, is he an agent for any other footballer or managers too? or is Paolo his sole client?
What is his background? Other than moonlighting for property developing TV programmes with a different face and body.

Looking at that video, christ he's aged in two years! Oh, and: Paolo, it's Paolo. |
