    "Assem's intentions were good when he bought the club"

    Really? That goes against the common narrative. What were they?

    To be perfectly honest I don't know why I've bothered reading or replying to your posts in the past so I'll take your advice and not bother replying in future...

    From now on when you 'Go For A Whinge' I'll refrain from reading:emoticon-0148-yes:

    The reason he can get one is that he is a British citizen and pays taxes here.

    Its not. Egypt firmly turned its back on Britain and the West with their revolution. Nasser wanted a secular socialist state as part of a growing pan-Arabism, and turned to the USSR for support. The USSR built the Aswan High Dam and other projects there.

    Also, Egypt was never really a colony of the UK, but more of a client state. It had its own king, although he was mostly a puppet. So they didn't (and don't) feel as if they were ever really a part of the British Empire like, say, Kenya or Singapore were.

    Well I visited the British museum last year and from what I saw I think Egypt is part of London.

    This seems to be a time-restricted/embargoed announcement if he can’t reveal it yet, could it really be happening???

    I would say so. He’s got the ear of Acun, wouldn’t be surprised if he’s under instructions.

    It's just a ploy to drive traffic to the website until the post is made, this way it has people checking back frequently ( the hdm hope ) thus getting better add revenue. Hopefully it's the positive things that have happened today
