Should be interesting.  We could be so much worse off with our ownership situation.

Makes you glad Best Holdings never got control, they seemed like such a genuine bunch...

If I remember there were questions about the deal within weeks of the takeover happening at County, especially after David Conn looking into it.

I cannot believe so many people were taken in by Russell King.

Mysterious takeover, nothing known about this "Middle East consortium" other than their name, first act seems to be a startling and pretty ridiculous statement of a classic boom/bust policy, I'd be shitting myself.

 This is 4 years old now, but County's fans were then the most stressed in the FL. We waded in at 5, behind MK Dongs, Carlisle, and Darlo.....

 Now since then...Dongs have progressed, Carlisle have won the Paint Pot, and Darlo have fallen out the league....

 County, I'd have ahead of us still....but there can't have been too many other club's fans who've had to put up with such a record breaking season of shitness as us.

Sven might have lost a few quid at Notts by not getting the money he was expecting, but then again I wouldn't say what 'bonuses' he was going to get in his contract if they did make it to the Prem. Apparently he was on a £3m bonus if he took Leicester to the Prem this season.

Ironically it's not the first possible fraudster Sven has dealt with recently. There was a story at the weekend that Harry Redknapp and Sven poured millions into a housing project which went 'belly-up'. There was talk that Harry and Scen taking legal action against their 'financial advisor'.

I hope you're not talking about 'Arry, his tax case hasn't gone to trial yet and until it does he's obviously innocent until proven otherwise.

when my boss gives me gifts sumtotalling hundreds of thousands of pounds I dont pay tax on it either, because its off shore and its nothing to do with my work.

Sven and Arry both greedy.

That Lord Voldemort stuff was all too familliar with our story.
