You sound like one of his believers , nothing was sorted, an extradition request was turned down in October of this year because the warrant issued by the Spanish authorities did not meet the strict terms of the extradition treaty. He is still wanted for trial.

As it happens i think the Rovers thing is a load of cobblers and the guy is feeding a few lies to various people to whatever ends he desires, i also doubt it would sit well for Mr Hudgell and his practices to be in business with known or suspected conmen. The whole thing has dubious written all over it.

Alan Stanford did pretty great things for West Indian cricket as it happens, before the hundred+ year sentence that is.

Have no idea who is about to put money into Rovers or not. The amount being banded about is big in rumours. Is he/they fit to commit money without scandal? who knows. If anyone is committed to put money into the club I love and the board approve it, I'll go with it everytime.
Fc fans welcomed Pearson with open arms without prejudice because he had the cash to get them somewhere.
Im sure anyone who has amassed millions has some skeletons in their closets be it big or small.
I smell a new dawn approaching, covert it, welcome it. The bar codes are worried.

Merry christmas

Does he even have millions though?

I got a warning from a mod last month for using a persons first name on here. Giving away his identity apparently.

The mods name was Chris28.

Funny.

Well wel soon see hey if someome is willing to help our club out it could be donald duck for all i care as long as hudgell and the board are for it il support it im just saying whats bin said on twitter thats all

He's talking about wearing a fur-lined mankini now. Maybe it's this sort of common touch and conduct that appeals so much to Hudgell and Crossland. Or they're so blinded by the £15m (perhaps understandably) that they think it's worth the risk.

Our new friend Guardian makes an interesting statement that legal process is still pending. In theory this would be researched by the HDM and clarified when the formal announcement is made. Alternatively, they'll just print what they're told.

Maybe hes just the same as the rest of the rovers fans down to earth and all that get ur self down olderness rd Mrs B its amazing what u see this time of the year hessle road is like a different planet this time of year to

I just hope he doesn't start tweeting that he has
signed 6 young British players that will be future
England internationals when he hasn't.

That would be embarrassing

I'm a bit suspicious. Which is my nature, but even allowing for that.

I'm more than a bit suspicious. I didnt think that Neil Hudgell would do business with him prior to today and the pantomine on twitter has re-inforced my view.
I dont mind him wearing a mankini or swearing in public but making statements on a social networking site before the Club have put out any statement smacks of a serious lack of business etiquette.
It staggers me to be honest that people are so readily willing to accept him into the fold without really knowing where he has been all these years, where/how he has made his money and what his current legal position is.

Any idea if he is very wealthy? Or as Easty put it, does he have the millions?

I half wondered if it was a bogus account, but it's being followed by the right people.

We'll see, I guess.

Good summary. The last paragraph could be why the due diligence Mike Smith commenced 8 weeks ago has taken a while.
