My Opinion I really dont believe he will buy us out right, I see him at the very most just another member on the board, which will shut a lot of the Anti PR fans up and will suit PR for now.

The ones I want on board are the Malaysians who are flying in the first week of Feb to meet SB.

The problem is that we don't know anything about Ben Steele. I've seen comments saying that because he has a reputed personal fortune of £200 million then he must be "a great businessman". Not necessarily so. Even if he has that amount of money he could have inherited it, won it,had one lucky property speculation, stolen it, or started with £400 million. If he had a track record in business there'd be much more trace of him on the web.

People talk about the City being a good investment. How exactly? What's the old joke?

Q: How do you get a million pounds running a football club?
A: Start with two million.....

So if the Malaysians come on board will it have to be a hostile takeover?
