That's another of those contradictions. Sometimes he appeared to be shrewd. At other times he was a small-time local business guy way out of his depth dealing with authorities and bodies way above his usual business. Buying football club without realising the millions of pounds worth of liabilities it had is anything but shrewd. He employed a handful of people in Melton at a business where no one could order paperclips without running it by him, but supposedly made millions selling disaster relief generators in far-off places. He supposedly came here with nothing and built a fortune from this business. His other businesses failed and everyone lost their jobs with nothing, whilst he got to keep the assets. His rags to riches story never stood up to scrutiny, and he had links to extremely wealthy people in African countries that he liked to keep quiet. As you say, it's all contradictions and his business acumen and history is definitely one of them.

7pm this time.
The Training Ground. Yikes!!! Didn't decide to step out for lunch afterwards I hope?
He rang dj Campbell for lunch suggestions
I agree with this. If the Allams really were the businessmen they are hyped to be they’d have grabbed the opportunity Bruce and his squad presented to them in order to make even more money than they did from the club.
In other news, Christmas Day is December 25th.
The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I can certainly fathom the gist of your post here PLT...
Wouldn't it have been quicker to just nip round the Cemetery and p!ss on his grave?
Would people be desperate to keep someone who had a big part to play in three failures if he hadn't played for the club?
What is it he does that makes him so desirable?
One thing he certainly hasn't done is advise his bosses that they're making mistakes, a fundamental for an assistant coach.
This is not looking good, any data on 2024 after all the sales we have made this summer?
Welcome Ruben, you can’t do any worse than the last fella, so you can expect a fairly easy ride for now.
He’s a lovely bloke and he loves the club, most clubs would be happy to have someone like him on the books.
We’re doing a 19/20 season, in reverse.
Going up, wedge on.
Going up, wedge on.
Every thing throughout his life was just so easy wasn’t it
And getting ****ty city promoted twice to the PL was just another piece of piss thing to do and they should have kept us there too
Oh sorry three promotions as we actually went up as champions from league 1 which is virtually unheard of for us
But nah they didn’t do anything special whatsoever and deserve no credit whatsoever
The real ITK these days
