No one, I repeat no one in human history has become a billionaire or mega wealthy by being squeaky clean. The only way to get there is by stabbing people in the back and clambering over the corpses until you can breathe fresh air. The only things our owners have in their favour that others don't are: 1) They haven't murdered anyone and/or supplied arms in proxy wars in which thousands of civilians have died. 2) They approach the sport in a way that doesn't make a complete mockery of fair competition and at least appear to want to earn success and glory rather than buying or cheating their way to it.
He appears to have been accused of giving stock tips to mates and employees. I don't even think that compares to his dealings on Black Wednesday. That one is legal and the other isn't probably says more about the system than it does about him. The man seems to have zero interest in the club or the sport. He certainly hasn't used either to massage his image, which is of your standard billionaire. Old ultra-capitalist who made his money walking a ****ty line, basically. How does he compare to the various other fit and proper persons in the Premier League? Dictators, arms dealers, world-threatening lunatic adjacent mob bosses and alleged child rapists. I'll leave the conclusion to others, I think.
There is more chance of seeing a Varpool player given a deserved red card than seeing Lewis go to prison, money will talk like it always does. Lewis may well be less of a crook and less morally corrupt than some other football club owners but he is still a self interested scumbag like most of them are, just look at Patagonia and what he did there.
Again, the irony is that helping his pilots out is what caught him In other news, I wonder how many millionaires and billionaires are currently telling their drivers, pilots, gardeners and maids that, no, WhatsApp is not encrypted
Fire investigators have found traces of accelerant in the rapidly-bulldozed Crooked House and are treating it as an arson investigation That would be the Crooked House which was bought by the wife of the bloke who owns the adjacent property, which also provided the diggers to bulldoze the site on Monday morning, which wasn't affected at all by the only access road to the site being blocked off
This I copied from The Guardian comments section. No **** Sherlock Sidfishes 4 hours ago 107 Sherlock Holmes and the case of the missing defence. Sherlock Holmes was stood at the window of 221b Baker Street fiddling with his fiddle stick and contemplating goings on in the busy street below when Mrs Hudson knocked on the door and announced ‘Dr Watson to see you sir’. Watson pushed through the door, breathless, face flushed and clutching a copy of The London Times… ‘Ah Watson, I see you’ve read the Aston Villa v Everton Match report’ Watson sat down on a chaise lounge, his mouth open in astonishment ‘Ye Gads Holmes – how in the devil’s name do you know that?’ Holmes chuckled- ‘Quite simple Watson, your shoulders are hunched, you have the look of a man on the edge of despair, your left hand quivers with the unmistakable pattern of alcoholic excess and your lip has clearly been bitten through with helpless angst over a football club sinking quicker than five pints of Murphy’s at a Huyton wedding reception’ ‘Holmes you are a marvel, I’d just finished browsing the report in the handsome cab… you astonish me’ ‘Not really Watson – it’s all elementary stuff… now the disappearance of the Everton defence is another matter altogether’ ‘Indeed Holmes’ ‘Consider the facts Watson, an experienced full-back, two central defenders who have played together on numerous occasions, a young tyro with pace and energy to burn, a manager who is known for tightening things up at the back and a goalkeeper who represents his country usually with startling competency if not excellence… it all points to one thing Watson, a complete dunderhead could see it’ ‘Great Scott Holmes… you don’t mean…? ‘I’m afraid I do Watson, the pure evil that has been sent amongst us to confound defences since the sainted Sir Alf Ramsey… I deduce a work of fiendish cunning mined in the depths of the very bowels of the sulphurous fumes of underworld itself’ ‘Professor Moriarty…’ ‘No you Clod! Worse than that – much worse..’ ‘You don’t mean…?’ ‘I’m afraid I do Watson – zonal marking’ ‘Good God Holmes – this is worse than I thought’ ‘Indeed Watson… In the right hands, with a defence who know what they are doing Zonal marking is a fantastic tool, a prescriptive plan that tells any competent defender where they should be and what they should be doing and it works Watson, by god it works… but this is Everton and they have Michael Keane as the fulcrum of their defence and to him zonal marking is a puzzle comparable to working out the mysteries of the great sphinx, in the wrong hands zonal marking is a curse of the ages and will bring hell and damnation on any side stupid enough to persist with it… no Watson, the mystery to Everton’s disappearing defence is no mystery as we have been here before in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and with five other managers…’ ‘But why cant the manager see it Holmes?’ Why indeed Watson?... why indeed.. it is the great folly of mankind to repeat the same mistakes over and over again Sherlock Holmes then turned to the window and played a hauntingly sad lament on his violin and a teary eyed Watson turned to the Times to read the obituaries to cheer himself up… Report please log in to view this image GJHSpurs Sidfishes 4 hours ago 10 You should be writing in the aforementioned Times…excellent comment. That's not me replying BTW. But it was a must for this thread.

You mean to tell me that a 16 year old couldn't cut down a tree that was clearly done by a group of professionals on their own?
