    Any other revelations from the back of the cab mate?
    Afraid not. Although I have a booking for Monday to pickup from Heathrow. Some foreign chap called Nimer!!! 😉
    Nim Nimer, someone took the keys to his bimma.  That's why he's getting a cab.

    Dear AFKA,
    I've never really understood why anonymity is needed. I'm sure there's a good reason, I've just never stumbled upon it. 

    It's not IMHO that it's needed but for some it's desired.

    Given the abuse some get from elsewhere I can see why.

    Plus we're not all as vain as @bobmonro to use our real names 😁
    Just wondered if there would be so much trolling (especially elsewhere) if people had to put their real names to it? 
    Whilst trolling is still an issue here, to use almost any form of social media one must have attached their ID card to the account, it's not displayed publicly but it certainly makes things a lot easier for the authorities.
    You say that like it's a good thing?

    Nobody except the club itself would attend a “press conference” for this on a Monday evening, which the PR guy would know very well.

    There goes my chance to blag my way in as the VOTV correspondent at next week's press conference.

    I'll have to try being the museum or Bromley rep.  No minutes on CL either.

    Can someone, who has a better understanding than me, answer questions? 

    1) who has authorised Mr Southall's access all areas pass on a match day?

    2) Why would you let a football agent have private meetings with your manger and head of recruitment, where confidential contract details maybe discussed, if there was any doubt at all?

    3) Is Mr Southall the dog or the tail?  Has he sort funding for a "project" or has the funder employed him?

    4) Lastly any idea why us?  We can sort of rule out the "property play" for reason done to death, but what is our USP?

    IMO if MS is the dog (as per question 2) this could be a "bumpy ride".

    1) I would assume RM on the say so of RD.
    2) former football agent as I understand it.
    3) He is clearly the tail, already reported extensively that Nimer is the majority share holder of ESI
    4) a Premier League ground (albeit it needs some TLC), relatively recent top flight history so a degree of international recognition and, above all I would suggest, a capital city club with a quarter of London to claim.

    ESI would have had to provide proof of funds at the beginning of the negotiations some months ago.

    At least, that has been the pattern before according to Lievin on the Ceiling.

    Maybe Duchatelet waived his usual requirements when he heard it was Abu Dhabi dosh but it seems unlikely.

    So why is there an issue with the veracity of the funding?  Is it even an issue at all?

    Southall seems confident and has told fans directly that the takeover is progressing as expected. To which the cynic would reply "he would, wouldn't he".

    I don't think there is a dog or tail.  The money and owner is Nimer. The man on the ground is Southall.

    It's quite possible that it was Southall's plan and he pitched it to Nimer and got a thumbs up.

    It's equally possible that Nimer wanted to get into football and asked Southall to do the leg work and front up the business.

    We don't know and to me, if the deals goes through, it doesn't really matter too much. It would be interesting to know but does it matter who asked who to dance first. 

    I still think there are lots of complications with TN and JH having a finger in so many pies and MS being a former agent. I don't see a problem but then I know none of the details.

    As to why would the current regime allow MS to walk around like he already owns the club, maybe they think he does. Then again they are proven incompetents so who knows. It takes some pressure off the regime for a while but I don't think this is made up or a conspiracy. It's real but so where the Aussies and other buyers.

    Well if it's called an FF, I'm free ! 
  • The key issue for new owners, apart from injuries which they can't influence, is the number of players out of contract in June. I suspect that Southall's view on the current squad may be "strange".

    Somehow I think the reason for that isn't to stop trolling on Football sites but limit criticism of a repressive state
    You're certainly right about it's primary reason, however it well for the secondary too, its possible to have one without the other.
