Sergio Silva - Diamandis - Junior?

[Dazzza]

Just searching for some transfer news and came across this rather odd Portuguese story with an odd connection to Town.

Boavista the Portuguese club were recently bailed out by a chap called Sergio Silva who through a London company called Castleshore Investments got bragging rights to name the stadium and ownership of 10 players.

The bloke was recently arrested although the translation is sketchy to say the least and my grasp of Portuguse doesn't go beyond a hand pump.   Bob Holt and Diamands both get a mention through some hooky company called CastleShore.

 Interesting Dazzza, though perhaps a little more substance is needed before a conspiracy theory can be developed....

    PS what is the Portuguese for hand pump...

The words "Diamandis-Holt-Portuguese-Football-Business" all on one page - I'll be having nightmares tonight.

  My heart sank on seeing the D word on a thread heading....it's easy to see how the Diamond Geezer may have picked up a few ideas from the Portugeezers.

18th April, and the article still thinks that Diamandis is in charge at STFC.

Oh my God, Boavista have been taken over by a company of 20 painters and decorators. Something tells me that Boavista fans are about to find out that Castleshore Ltd are not quite as loaded as they first thought.

Looks like yr Castleshore is a painter and decorator Spencer...

[michael]

What's the betting it's a subsidary (sp??) of Kingswood?

Shame they're not sponsors anymore, I'm sure they would have done us a good deal to paint the seats in the Arkell's stand.

The con is on.

HAHAHA that's the wrong Castleshore! That was my Father in Laws Painter and Decorators. They shut down 3 years ago when he retired. Definately not related to any of the sheisters mentioned in this thread thank fuck!!

EDIT: They did paint the Intel Stand about ten years ago though! He had to wait in their offices all day just to get the money for the job out of em!

Castleshore is a dissolved 'painting and glazing' company from what I could see. It has no connection to Kingswood from what I could see either.

It was based where Spencer has linked to.

Your father in law is Leo Clements then, who is mentioned in the article. Looks liek the most random link ever though, can't see how it's linked to STFC at all. Unless you're JPC and the company was trafficing youth players, then it would make sense.

[Spencer_White]

Jon, If you read the article at the top of the page it clearly mentions Leo Clements. Who is also boss of this firm of
painters.

So has the portugese journalist made a cock up or has someone fed him a load of bullshit?

That was the only Castleshore I could find that has anything to do with Swindon.

Wait until the AGM, when Fitton takes off his corset and his mask and unveils himself to be Mike Diamandis. He would have got away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids.

That link is mental! No idea where they got any of that from unless they just looked up castleshore on the internet and picked his name etc off the website. Quality journalism in action there!
