only if it's real.

And just as important, only if he can move it. I heard of a chap that was said to have over a billion dollars but all in notes stashed away in a warehouse. He may as well have thrown it on the fire each night to keep warm as it was of little use to him unless he could get it in the banking system.

I will only be happy when I see a picture of Dr X naked in an Olympic swimming pool full of cash. Not for confirmation of his riches, it's just that I'm strange like that.


Sent you a pm - do not show anybody else

So that's why they call him Lil' Tony?

It's been pretty clear from the start that Zia has access to funds and that the  criteria of the Owners and Directors test would not bar either himself or the other directors - with the possible exception of Hitchens, who resigned anyway.

The real good news will come when the promised 50 million is spent this window, and the accounts when published next year show a healthy balance sheet.

He keeps all his 2ps in a jamjar by his bed, and this jamjar is so big it required a special crane to winch it into the view of the Football League. When they saw how many 2ps were in there, it caused a run on the world commodities market and the price of copper collapsed

I'm laughing at the notion that Dr Xia will then be meeting the manager of the local HSBC.  Is there a branch on Witton Square?  Does he have to have minders as he walks in with his suitcase to clear the overdraft?  Will he get to meet the lad who used to fill the machines on the advert - 'it's not all work, work, work.'

This is the new Barry and The Penalty debate.  If he is not a crook why don't we have a single Nobel Peace Prize winner on the board? NOT ONE.

My only worry is that he's been too forthcoming with how he's going to spend £50M in the transfer window. First rule of transfer window..?

We really don't need to spend 50 million in this window, there will be a limit to who you can buy anyway as we are in the championship
