One Ford Mondeo for sale. Only used for four months. I'll throw a red flag in with it as well.

Begs the question how on earth did he pass any sort of fit and proper tests in the first place.

Everything about him from day one screamed chancer. He deserves no credit for our current position whatsoever.

Those tests are a complete and utter joke, aren't they? As far as I can tell, it only precludes people currently barred from acting as a director or similar.

There is a decent book waiting to be written about Tony

We still know virtually nothing about him or his motivations

I’m guessing the front man for a group of shady investors wishing to clean up their money and image

I won’t forget the shit I got when I suggested that his scampering out of Wembley after the play off Final was indicative of a wider problem.

the only good thing he did was selling up to the two we have now.  For that we should be grateful.

And a quote of the post where you said he scampered off?

I had major doubts from the outset, but benefit of the (pretty considerable) doubt until concrete info comes to hand.

I wouldn't be gloating on an online forum though. It's one of those scenarios where I'd have been quite happy to be wrong.

I’d like to know if Xia approached Wes and Nassef or the other way around and did they make him an offer he really couldn’t refuse because they knew he was in the shit? Either way, what a piece of business for us fans!

It's mad to think that winning the playoff a year earlier could have actually been the worst thing possible for the club.

Yes indeed.  Going up would have papaered over the cracks of the financial problems and saddled us with Spuduhate for another season.  We'd probably have been even shitter than last time we went down, and would be looking at a season in the Championship now with no Grealish or McGinn etc.

Apparently they cleared his debt as Xia couldn't even pay the 30 million he owed to Lerner.
