That's got to be worth at least 2 pitches at the car boot? Hmm I wonder if that was a contractual obligation? Makes you think doesn't it?

In all seriousness though, the comment below would raise some (more?) serious red flags. “If I don’t have Jordanian players in the future playing in Bristol, it means I’m a failure,” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALLY ? Now that Bristol Rovers have reached League One, this figure jumps to $2.5 million. They get paid in Dollars? “It’s not about spending cash to buy Ronaldo or Messi. " No shit ! After months of intensive negotiations, al-Qadi eventually beat around 10 other bidders to secure ownership of the club The other 9 bought raffle tickets ! Due to a non-disclosure agreement, he can’t reveal the figures involved, but he insisted his family got a good deal. “You would be amazed at how much value we got,” he said. They got it for a quid ! (sorry, one dinar) But his critics are also likely missing the important wider benefit of having a Jordanian with a significant foothold in what’s probably the richest and most watched football league in the world. Yeah, League One !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know Wael is part of tbe Jordanian FA and youth development. If Waels investment in Rovers mean we get first dibs or give young Jordanian players an avenue to the English leagues what is the problem. Also potentiay opens Rovers up to thst market even more Obviously they need to be deemed good enough but seems perfectly logicsl to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great list isn't it? I'm all for development but show me a Jordanian international that doesn't play for a team called Al-something or other. If there was even 1% of talent out there it would of reached European football by now. Even with investment now it could take decades before it bares any fruit. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you've got nothing to throw back at us then?...just that we have a striker on a season long loan. Reminds me of the time I asked Weezord to give us his best bit of banter and he replied that the Atyeo Stand wasn't joined up to the rest of the ground.
