I don't understand why anyone would buy 46% of anything, unless your motivation is eventually to own the whole shooting match.

i drove past their stadium half an hour ago. If i bothered following League of Ireland, they would be my club. A big fish in a very small pond.
Any news on whether UEFA have replied to Marinakis’s letter yet? I guess he won't be pushing for a reply as it might just piss them off

I think he is a natural at pissing people off, Marinakas is definitely on the spectrum….

Dear Mr Marinakis,
Thank you for your application to appear in the next series of The Krypton Factor. However, we have had to decline your application on several grounds. Firstly, whilst your claims about being able to solve a Rubiks Cube in 17 seconds and having deadlifted 457kg are impressive, Krypton Factor was taken off air in 1995. Secondly, you have sent this to UEFA who are a governing body for European Football and not the scheduling department of ITV. We wish you all your success and if you are hoping for an endorsement for the next series of Gladiators we'd be happy to provide references.
Love UEFA.

PS your claim to have eaten 50 hotdogs in four minutes was met with raised eyebrows in the office. Is that all? You look like you could inhale that many between meals you adorable chubster.

It’s a nice stadium, I’ll be there tomorrow with my daughter to watch the Rovers women, we have seen the Ireland women’s team play there a number of times. Easy to get to and have recently opened a new stand.

Same here. I just can't get into it at all.
I think the NY Jets have proved he doesn't know how to run a sports team. He's someone of inherited wealth, hasn't made any significant money of his own.
He's got links to the Greek mafia (allegedly) so be careful insulting him.

Parish isn’t going to give up control and Johnson has the ‘no more tears’ formula. I have a good feeling about this one!

He might make the Forest 🌳 manager disappear under the City football pitch if they throw away Champions League footy again or turn him into kebab meat?

They make them pretty much everywhere. I even saw a shop in Haywards Heath that does them.

Spoke to a lawyer the other day who used to work in house for EUFA.
Couldn't tell me anything I did not already know, save that all the relevant contracts are subject to Swiss law.
I asked him if EUFA were "letter" or "spirit". He said more the latter, which is good news if they want to improve the brand given the romance of our Cup win.
He mentioned the concern while he was there of major sponsors supporting more than one big club. Then the Americans came and we got the issue with multi-club ownership. The rules inevitably followed.
I think there are 4 layers of rules. The first hits the issue head on. Breach and you are put (as our Irish friends have experienced). The second covers issues of less concern but seeks to plug loop holes. The third slightly less and another plug. But the last one is, I believe, the one that impacts us and it is the one that sits at the foot of most legislation. It is the catch-all scooper-upper of miscellaneous scenarios that do not fall within the obvious risks envisaged.
The key point about these provisions is they then allow tribunals to exercise their discretion as to whether the conduct complained of falls within the perils the rules were designed to prevent.
In my view (worthless, I know) is that our conduct would not fall within that range. Textor exercises no direct control over the business and no direct or indirect control over the play. If they met, you will not and (critically) can not have Palace playing Lyon in anything but a fully competitive match. This is not Germany v Austria.
