      How To Buy A Football Club - (Dispatches)

      I'm just watching it now, having to head out. So recorded it.

      I have a feeling there will be plenty to discuss, Ferguson mentioned. Hopefully the c**t is caught red-handed and fined.

      Watching it now, Captain Fantastic, Bryan Robson will need a JCB for the hole he is digging himself in.

      Ya I think it really played up to the fact yer man was friends with Fergie. He doesn't look to have done anything wrong really, on the other hand Robson is fu**ed :D

      The bit about loaning players to whoever you buy was the most interesting, and plausible part of the show I think.

      I live in the states, can anyone fill me in on what this program is about?

      Basically a team of undercover reporters approached a group which offers some vague football related business ventures, they obviously had a tip off about the real nature of the group.

      The group offers to help let the undercover team buy more than one English football league club at once and to help get these clubs into the Premier League without spending much money and then to sell on the clubs at a huge profit.

      Bryan Robson as well as some bloke Joe Sim (Asian 'businessman and obvious Manc w*nk-fantasiser) offer to use their 'family' relationship with Ferguson to get loan players from Man Utd in order to get these teams promoted. Also they state Ferguson would call in favours from other managers to get loanees to help them in their aim to achieve promotion.

      Amongst other things Joe Sim implies he helped Ferguson get 'private' services on Ferguson's first trip to Asia and also there is a load of footage of Sim wanking himself silly over his supposed "brotherly" relationship with Ferguson.

      Also. This Joe Sim wanted to buy a third club, on top of the two they wanted to buy with the reporters, with his boss/mate (unsure) Peter Lim the filthy Manc who wanted to buy us. Lim owns Man Utd sports bars in Asia, where all of the footage seems to be shot, and was the other bidder considered before the sale to FSG.  

      EDIT: loads of stuff in it. Keep looking out for a link to it online.

      If anyone wants to add to my quick summary feel free.

      Bloody glad that Peter Lim didn't buy us, and to think, there were loads of people crying out when he didn't end up buying us last year, looks like Broughton knew what he was doing, Lim seems one shady character.

      Unfortunately it's come out during the NOTW scandal otherwise it'd be bigger news.

      Just got this excerpt from the mail:

      Joe Sim, chief adviser to the Thai FA and a friend of Robson, says in another meeting: 'Once you have put £5m into the fund, I'll arrange for you and me, we have dinner with Sir Alex Ferguson, then Sir Alex Ferguson will tell you that he is going to lend me the players.'

      Lawyers for the Manchester United manager confirmed Sim is a friend but said: 'He has never discussed the possibility of loaning any Manchester United players.'

      A spokesman for London Nominees said: 'Any suggestion Bryan Robson would participate in any breach of League rules is strongly denied.'


      Yeah right. Greedy whisky soaked b***ard, he's got enough money to see him way past his demise and he's still willing to take a bung. Makes you wonder how many blow jobs steve bruce has had to give him every transfer window.

Also they state Ferguson would call in favours from other managers to get loanees to help them in their aim to achieve promotion.

      Amongst other things Joe Sim implies he helped Ferguson get 'private' services on Ferguson's first trip to Asia and also there is a load of footage of Sim wanking himself silly over his supposed "brotherly" relationship with Ferguson.

      Also. This Joe Sim wanted to buy a third club, on top of the two they wanted to buy with the reporters, with his boss/mate (unsure) Peter Lim the filthy Manc who wanted to buy us. Lim owns Man Utd sports bars in Asia, where all of the footage seems to be shot, and was the other bidder considered before the sale to FSG. 

      EDIT: loads of stuff in it. Keep looking out for a link to it online.

      If anyone wants to add to my quick summary feel free.


      Thanks mate! :)

      To think some on here were desperate for that Lim fella to take us over.

      Thanks for the info on the show. I can't find a way to watch it in Aus but it sounds like something we already knew, just spread around on tele.

      Fergie is a c**t. His mates are cu*ts.

      Isn't it wonderful that Robson's job as a global ambassador for Manchester United enables him to entertain such a fine selection of people from across the world, this of course follows on from their other ambassador Sir Bobby Slaphead who several years ago was in the very unfortunate situation where several FA cup final tickets in his name ended up on the black market (purely by accident of course). I don't think it needs anyone with half a brain cell to work out why Robson got the sack as the national coach. Heaven forbid anyone drag the great man's name through the mud, after all who would do favours for the son if he was manager of another club, I think it's very sweet that the Govan gobs***e has employed his son as a player, another son as an agent and his brother as a chief scout.

      A spokesman for London Nominees said: 'Any suggestion Bryan Robson would participate in any breach of League rules is strongly denied.'

      THEY GOT HIM ON F***ing FILM.

      It's a bit F***ing late to say that when there is clear evidence of him detailing how to break the FA rules.

      He's bulletproof.  Even though it is obvious he is caught up in this scam nobody can pin anything on him.

      We are talking about a man who did 70mph down a hard shoulder because he wanted a sh1t and got away scott free.
