I've just tweeted him to tell him he's been gazumped by his own paper.

Useless knob.

Could be not so good news. Tamraz has a murky, oligarch type, CIA fuelled past and may not meet the criteria of fit and proper. But if it's good to go then I'm sure we can forgive him, then we won't need a trust.

Maybe some credibility then instead of this constant bigging up the ST as the way forward. That said, the billionaire dude wants enhanced fan participation so wondering if he sees the ST as the vehicle for that?

We should offer him Whittam as a sweetener.

Who#s been messing with Wiki?

Beat me to it Lust!

Well Roger me sideways! Bye bye ST - RT's in town! 

Please tell me that isn't where the BN got the story from......

No idea why a 75 year old Egyptian born Lebanese man would want to buy the club and give it to the Bolton community though?

All sounds yet another load of bollocks and I won't believe it until Marc Iles says he's given the club 48 hours to respond to him - then that would mean it is all obviously true.

Already in talks with Mike Smith at the Olympus fish and chip emporium, discussing ST involvement according to Mark Piles.

Cynical.

You should embrace Roger.
