Googling Ben Steele.

As he suggested.

A lot about buying us, Southampton... can't see an amazing amount of other info?

I found BEN-STEELE PROPERTIES of SPRINGFIELD USA Surly it's not Homer Simpson behind the mystery investor?

If you want to know more info, go on companies house and search the register of Directors. That'll give you a little more detail on his companies and finances.

Does that work for Gurnsey based companies?

No.

I really don't think he would be bothering to spend the day talking to CCFC if, one he wasn't serious, and two, he didn't have the money.

The knuckle-draggers on here who have had a pop at him aren't really thinking this out. then again, thinking is hard sometimes, isn't it.

fetch him on, i got a good feeling about him

Yeah, think you'll find CCMB is the board for sniping, mate.

What you seem to be saying is that nobody should ever question anybody looking to invest in the club or raise any doubts about their suitability for the role.

Which means nobody should ever have raised concerns when Ridsdale took over. And indeed, the Jacks shouldn't have complained about Petty.

What people have said is what is plainly obvious. Namely concerns about the financing, concerns about the takeover bid at Southampton.

What the situation appears to be is Ridsdale seems keen for Steele to take over, somebody we know zero about. Borley and Guy appear to be dealing with the Malaysians, who we do know something about.

Steele himself said to google to see what he's about. That raises little to no info about him other than his bids for several football clubs. People have the right to view everything surrounding all of this and have concerns. What we know about Steele is what has been printed in the media lately - namely selling used cars, developing property. Both of which activities generally involve taking something over, improving - often purely cosmetically - then selling on for profit.

But hey, "knuckle-draggers" on here are of course utterly clueless compared to your good self.

EDIT:

Googling his company is also interesting.

"Steele Properties Guernsey Ltd"

With or without quotes, doesn't return a great visible presence either.
