Lrrr Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 How the hell do you get approval for a takeover while facing accusations of match fixing?! Surely it should have been put on hold until the outcome of any investigation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Is it part of the EFL's criteria of "fit and proper" that applicants are required to have some allegations of dodgy dealing, pretend money , tax evasion/avoidance , pending trials or convictions, because it certainly seems that way! "So Mr Forinona, you don't appear to have ever been accused of anything illegal. You're not really what we hand in mind. You didn't by any chance inappropriately touch someone during the 1970s did you? No? Oh that won't do at all. Sorry. Next..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember now. It's owned by 51% but the main board members pay a massive amount of dosh to become members each year so basically each board members r multi millionaires. That's how they get around the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiled Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Quote "We have a long-term plan and within this long-term plan we want to bring Nottingham to where it belongs. And of course Nottingham belongs in the Premier League. And Nottingham belongs to the elite of the Premier League," he says. "Furthermore the supporters of Nottingham have been tired all these years, they didn't have such good times. But they remained loyal and for us that's very important. Ha ha ha, "Nottingham". Does his ambition include taking Notts County to the Premier League as well? Way to endear yourself....start off by calling your new club a name that the fans would never use!
