He knows the Allams He knows the Hull City Council (he must have had dealings with them when at City) Maybe he's going to act as a go between......
You do realise the irony of you saying that? Y'know, given the fact he was a guest of the Allams last night.
The guy was the CEO that turned £100m income into £40m debt. That says it all. For the people who are saying Barlett didn't have the cash for Prem. If you invest the Prem money properly then you don't need a sugar daddy.
I know he took money out of Hull City for his own personal use, the Allam's maybe don't care, that's their choice, it doesn't mean I have to forgive him.
Wasn't there a step before that though? I don't think it had a £100m income before he arrived did it?
Go on then, tell us how it didnt happen, oh font of such knowledge. You seem so sure that it didnt then bloody well tell us and prove it.
It is okay standing up for people you personally know TWF, but considering stories which can be proved to be correct paint him in a different light to the Duffen Fan Club (you remind me of that girl on ITV news last night who when a question was put to Bieber's management/PR team instantly came out with the phrase "it's not true") point of view which you seem to represent on this board.
Paul Duffen lives relatively close to Selhurst Park and considering that he is a former CEO of both the club as well as the SSMC last night would have been an ideal opportunity for the Allams to find a few things out. Such as how can you fliush money out of a club, once you get it in, without being caught. Just how do you run such a big yacht whilst earning a declared income of £100k. What offshore country is best to put the money that a foundation gives you? Isn't acting as a consultant for both sides of a deal irregular?
