Christian Purslow - Resigned

[PaulWinch again]

Who was that dodgy as fuck twat who was involved with them, Christopher someone? Had a background that included pretty much everything dodgy in English football.

Samuelson

I randomly was trying to remember that name the other day. Very shady.

If you haven't seen the documentary about him and the Xia deal on Al Jazeera, it's fairly jaw-dropping!

i've just read the article... wow

If you manage to find it online, it will be a fucking huge reminder of how lucky we've been these last five years, to look at the state we were in and the vultures we had circling.

Anyway, big up all the others who along with me spotted 'Dr' Tony was dodgy as fuck from the off.

Congratulations on your foresight, as a noted poster of this parish would put it.

I felt physically sick reading that these obnoxious criminals were deciding the future of the club I love.

I'd be interested to hear Wyness's version. I've heard he knew Xia was a wrong un and tried to do what he could for the club, hence his sacking.

Yes, I remember hearing that too.

He also said he had a fiduciary duty as a director of the company to do what he did re administration. Which I can believe.

He'll probably be running for the Tories in one of the upcoming by-elections. He strikes me as a Rishi-loyalist.

Is all this Tory-stuff simply Red Scouse, chip-on-the-shoulder nonsense? I recently read Purslow's father's obituary and it seems Mr Purslow Sr was a devout Catholic and paid up member of the Labour Party.  Now, that doesn't necessarily mean CP was the same, but still...

It seems any opportunity to mention the Tories is the obsession of some on here - quite pathetic really as there are enough political threads elsewhere.

Yes, I think you have got a point there.

However, I feel duty bound to point out that the tories are proper kernts.

Including conversations with Insolvency Practitioners.

As much as I think Wyness was your bog standard executive in a suit with about as much drive as a 1 litre Skoda, I got the impression he played  it by the book when it came to protecting the club as much as possible when Shit Shoes Tony fucked it up. The fact that he’d got into bed with ****** like Samuelson etc in the first place obviously means his judgement was suspect but I suppose we all make mistakes.

[Risso]

Wyness had been a part of Samuelson's operations for years, at previous clubs. When it became clear that everything was going majorly tits up, he and Samuelson fell out, and Wyness started to take steps to protect his own position. There's no proof that he knew what Samuelson had been up to, but it would be be strange if he didn't...

Purslow donated £50k to the Tory party in 2019.

I've often wondered if Wyness knew where Xia's money really came from
