Title: Irish consortium, Belize etc…
Post by: Pinter777 on August 27, 2024, 09:54:20 pm
Nightly research lately has got me delving into articles, books, biography’s and documentaries…still alot that doesn’t add up to me.

Westferry, dinard, odd meetings in Switzerland with Irish consortiums, Belize.

An SAS member losing his phone during an arson of belle vue….

Not sure what conclusions I’ve come to yet I’m just getting my head around the history.

Probably could sum it up in one.
We are very lucky to still have a club and without the Vsc and JR we wouldn't

Agreed, just some points I can’t get my head around…..why would JR mention obriens name during the potential sale of the club for him to deny it? Who the hell is pavilion capital?

He mentioned his name because his name was mentioned to him, even though there was no substance behind it.

I wouldn't waste your time. The more you find, the more questions you'll have plus with the passage of time it's.more difficult to find  documentary evidence, and even then it's the tip of the iceberg getting into the murky world of bribery and corruption with some very prominent people.

As Dagenham and others will say, just be thankful we are where we are with good owners and have not been taken down the same path as some other clubs who were wiped out thanks to unscrupulous owners.

I'll write the book about it all one day.

Still got a lot of material we gathered. Letters, etc.

Chap in LIverpool called George Rowland was going to write a book about it. I gave him quite a bit of stuff. He never did though. Happily, I've still got a lot of stuff. So, Rob, if the mood ever takes you, let me know.
