Sorry that's what you meant wasn't it. Ignore me.

I think he meant that Boris Berezovsky was already dead and therefore unlikely to be arrested.

It hasn't stopped certain people trying to prosecute Greville Janner.

Good luck to Interpol if they're still trying to apprehend Boris Berezovsky

Isn't he a bit, er dead or am I thinking of someone else?

Well if he's not he has certainly been a little immobile for the last few years.  I'd like to compare a list of Tony X's business assosciates and see how it differs from somebody such as Tony Blair, David Cameron or Donald Trump to name but three.

Would you want any of them pulling the strings at Villa?

Not particularly the point I was trying to make.  Anybodywho has risen to the realms of "super rich scumbag" will have dealt with some less than scrupulous chatacters on their way.  If you looked at the sainted Randolph's list of buddies we would probably have the same discussion.

I myself know some unsavoury characters,
However I didn't use them or involve them when I set up my business 20 years ago

And are you currently considering buying one of the biggest names in football?  No offence meant, sincerely.

Whatever we say about Randy, he owned one of the biggest names in football, and I don't recall lashings of unsavoury dealings from him (well on a non football basis admittedly).  Feels like a generalisation to say Very rich = corrupt dealings

Between me and Randy? Or anybody rich?
I agree.
Hopefully not The Villa, though. Come on, Dr Tony. Declare.
