Hope the buyer wasn't Steve Lansdown. One person is not allowed to own a stake in more than any one football club in this country and hasn't been since Robert Maxwell owned Oxford and Derby back in the 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true it seems safe to assume the new investor is more likely to be an independent businessman rather than HH Prince Ali of Jordan himself and, having identified the undoubted business acumen of Nicholas and his colleagues, this person wishes them to remain in charge and look after his investment. There are rather a lot of these types of people in the Middle East and most of them don't wear the kind of vests you find at Marks & Spencer. I am led to believe that the board of BRFC received an email from a Nigerian Princess, she has a fortune just waiting to be ploughed into a shabby, ragbag outfit. To enable the funds to be brought into the country, board members had to gift her no small quantity of shares and the clubs bank account details for her to transfer the sum of $300M dollars. Once this was done, she would give favours to the requisite officials to ease her passage to the UK and reclaim her money, leaving Piggs to see that she was a 18 stone transvestite all along, who was just after a visa for the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one like that and am just waiting for the paperwork to arrive that confirms I now own 80% of the Nigerian oil industry. I`ve used my life savings and I`ve remortgaged my house to pay the processing fees but I reckon it will be worth it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, maybe I missed a trick, I did receive a similar email myself several weeks ago, I screenshot it and put it on FB, quite a few of my 'friends' urged me to comply and send the requested processing fee and bank account details, I was a little busy at work and forgot, seems I may have wasted a huge opportunity............

I found a small cloth bag in the loft, it has a couple of Victorian pennies in it, a farthing, a thrupenny bit, a silver sixpence and a couple of French coins. Not sure of the value, but I'd happily donate them to ensure the gift keeps giving for a few more days....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Bert, I`m only interested in genuine investments that will provide me with a good low risk return so it`s the Nigerians I`m afraid. I will of course alert Nicholas to any other similar investment opportunities that I should happen to hear about so he can clean up too. He could of course send out e-mails along similar lines in his own right as a solution to the club`s financing problems - lets face it, it`s the only thing he`s not tried yet!

You can't own 80% of the Nigerian oil industry as I've already bought the shares. They amount to, 65% from the crown Prince, 25% from the crown Princess and the other 7.5% from the crown post office of Nigeria. Double check who the email was from as I've already got the share certificates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My communication is from the desk of Mr Sunday Okobe who is the Minister for Oil and Other Stuff and I think you`ll find he is beyond reproach. If my documents were from so called `royalty` I`d be very suspicious. I think it`s you who`s fallen for the oldest trick in the book mate - I`ll give you a wave from my private helicopter which will be bringing me to Ashton Gate in the not too distant future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your helicopter won't have any oil, as I'll have it all. They sent me a sample with the share certificates. Admittedly, it was a little runny and a funny shade of yellow but, hey, a sample's a sample. I think it was crude oil.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Damn you Rich, it looks like I may have been had after all. Still, I`m sure the bailiffs will be sympathetic to my plight and understand that anyone could have fallen for such a sophisticated ruse. I shall be writing a very strong letter to Mr Okobe demanding an explanation as I`m sure he will be as surprised as I am at this alarming turn of events.

Rich Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 As I am now a wealthy oil baron, I am willing to fund your court costs against Mr Okobe should you decide to take the matter further. Just send me your bank details and I'll deposit enough money into your account for your expenses as well. PS. don't send them in an open reply, PM me the details so nobody can see them and exploit you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't win the court case, will rise even more. On top of that, £3 million pound has to be payed to the loan company in July. Could end up 12m in debt very soon.

bert tann Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Rovers Takeaway Latest.............. Events took an unexpected twist this afternoon but, speaking from Winford Orthopaedic Hospital, Chairman Nicholas Higgs said it was simply a typing error and he expected to be up and about within a few days. Meanwhile a no fly zone has been imposed over central Jordan and the Golan Heights but this is not expected to impact local businessmen taking the p*ss because most of them wear thobes. However, as a precaution, householders in the Horfield and Bishopston areas are being advised to stay indoors with their windows and doors closed in case there is a gas leak. So, with news that work is expected to start as early as April it's back to Peter O'Hanraha-handjob in the UWE erection special studio, over to you Peter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
