I still don't get the misspelling of his own name, such that I view anything said on that account with suspicion.

I had a quick look on Twitter last night and saw Andrew Black and Jed's Twitter pictures.
Andrew Black's is of him sitting calmly at the breakfast table drinking his tea whilst enjoying a bowl of cheerios.
Jed's appears to be him looking like he is off his head in his pink shirt having consumed one too many sherberts. (correct me if I have the wrong fella)
Not that I should let appearances get in the way of a good story, but is he really the fella fronting the consortium?
I believe that is him. The bloke with him is Ray Clemence (either that or it's his twin brother) |

It was that and his twitter profile (Banbury massive, rooaaarr! etc) that prompted some of my comments at the weekend. Judging a book by its cover? Probably. But there's not a lot else to judge at the moment. First impression is he's a lad who likes his football and likes a drink...but not someone you'd have running your club. |

Exactly. It's a far cry from the quiet professionalism of the board for the past 4 years. Beggars can't be choosers though. |

If he's going out smashing places up, getting into fights and turning up to work pissed and/or hungover everyday then I'd be concerned.
Asides from that it is really, really, really scraping the barrel to suggest he is unfit because a photo shows him having a good time. If that is the worst that people can find to criticise him for, I for one am heartened.

There have been rumours that Paolo knows some of the consortium or that ex footballers are involved ... Are the delays as Gazza is involved? |

I have heard that most of those involved are at minimum proper football fans, thats all I know. |

To be fair, just because he's the only name made public from the consortium doesn't necessarily mean he'll be becoming chairman or running the club. Wouldn't be surprised if he has just been the guy who has got the group together and it will be persons as yet unnamed who end up in the boardroom. |

I never said I was concerned, just clarifying that this was indeed the fella. I did state that it is probably wrong to judge a book by its cover. At least he appears to be a football man (albeit Luton Town). If we could tragmonify Andrew Black and Jed, perhaps we'd be onto a winner! |

I read the article linking Paolo with the job. Can't see it happening in a million years. Fans might want it but the owners wouldn't touch him with a barge pole unless they were desperate. |
