    So you were happy to sell to the alleged crooks?

    The FA did their investigations and found them to be corrupt.

    We were for sale, but only to scum.

    Wonder if this meeting took place at the Hallmark?
    Perhaps it was 'Dr' Allam's insistence that the Labour Party changed its name to Red Hammer that caused it all to go titz?
    Or was it that Blair didn't want Ehab as his boss?

    It's murky as ****. They trousered a big deposit out of it and kept the club. Convenient. Word at the time was the deal could have gone through with some minor changes but Assem pulled the plug.

    Bollocks. The FA rejected it. Simple as. Yet you can't admit it.
    They didn't trouser illegally, it was part of a legal contract.

    It was said at the time they failed the test on a minor technicality which could have be easily resolved.

    Where there's a will there's a way, or vice versa so it seems.

    On a smaller scale...Much like the Salibur transfer papers going missing/deposited late when the lad was sat with a bag ready to fly from France in January..

    Don't know, could have been both. The point is they could have sold with a tidy profit if they really wanted to.

    I've no idea what happened, but I always wondered if the fact that there'd been a deposit paid, presumably subject to them passing the fit and proper person test, meant that the Allam's thought on balance it was better financially to keep the deposit and the club, assuming there'd be other buyers or that they still had the club and £6m regardless. That's business, risk assess the options and take a call

    But

    Did the £6m deposit ever show up on any accounts? Did it really exist?

    Think someone will point you to the £6 million dividend paid.

    Cheers
    I don't bother looking at the accounts, there's always plenty of other people analysing them
    I was more wondering whether it could be spotted in the 'income' column (or whatever it would be called)

    Failing a fit and proper test a minor technicality.

    Don't know anything either other than someone mentioned a dividend paid to them. I presumed this was the £6million deposit as the figures matched. Peter, Obi or OLM will clarify I am sure.

    You're happy to accept the Americans had no money, based on nothing other than one of Obi's conspiracy theories, based on no facts whatsoever, then take the piss out of people who believe what they read on Facebook groups?

    And you conveniently gloss over the Chien Lee bid, a bid from a very wealthy man with an excellent track record of running a football club.

    They could have got all their money back last year, having made a healthy profit, yet decided not to do so. FACT.

    The facts about Peter Grieves companies are simple.
    Some posters on here have more money than him or his companies. He held 10% of shares in a failing investment bank that got sold. There is a reason no one knew of him before he came on the scene and no one has heard of him since. He had nothing but an argeement from an investment group to buy $100m in shares once the deal was done.
    The Dai's did not fail the PL fit and proper test, the group who where putting up the money had a right of veto over any deal and this was the issue. The main investor had been investigated for coruption in China, but found not guilty.

    All of the info on Peter Grieves comes from the US Securites and Exchange Commission.
