True mate. And not only Porto,the majority of Portuguese football including the national team, I reckon. Far cry from the days when their talisman was that immaculate sportsman Eusebio

Torquay on the brink after Clarke Osborne withdrew financing the club and called in the administrators.

He’s the twat who owns the Abbey Stadium and closed down the speedway with, no doubt, the greyhounds to follow.

Twat's being nice.....he also tried to get Coventry speedway's site sold off for housing.

Wtf

😳 QPR’s Ilias Chair has been sent to prison after being found guilty of breaking a truck driver's skull with a rock.

He’s been sentenced to a year with a further 12 months suspended.

Keiron Maguire has said on his latest pod that he knows of clubs in the EFL who are artificially inflating their attendances because they are connected with money laundering operations.

What are the odds on STFC being one of them?

I'd say that ours were kosher taking ST holders into account.
Would be a lot more suspicious if they stayed the same next season.

Revealing it publicly could land him in hot water legally. But he should be reporting it to the authorities.

It wouldn't be a surprise, given the authorities made it public they were giving Money Laundering more focus within football.

Absolutely this, he has a right to report to the authorities so they can act upon it even if not publically.

If anyone genuinely thinks this doesnt actually happen in real football then I would suggest they watch this documentary about Bangor FC and fake owners and money laundering.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0c7h89x

"BBC Wales Investigates: The Hidden World of Football"

Also I give you George Reynolds the money laundering owner of Darlington FC (at the time).

Ok, so who's had the thought hoping that it might be us?
Take the medicine, clean sweep of miscreants, start again afresh preferably still in the EFL?

I am still hoping it isnt us but sort of expecting that it will be.

I want Clem and co out as much as anyone but no way would I want the club to go the phoenix route.

I mean, I am not insinuating anything, but anyone who does any sort of Money Laundering training in the corporate world, or financial threats etc., would be identifying a significant number of red flags.  We have a high cash based business, we've started trading with a previously unincorporated business in a Country known for money laundering, engaged in more than one international business requiring the transfer of money and exchange of currencies, work in an industry where financial deals are kept secret, and so on.
