How To Buy A Football Club - (Dispatches)

All those clubs on offer, and the BS weren't even mentioned, even the crooks wont touch them.

Just watching it on Channel 4+1. Should be interesting.

What is this exactly? Anyone care to elaborate for us poor folk across the pond?

Some of the comments are hilarious.

"I honestly think we have the least dodgy foreign owners in the country " True, just shafting you for all the profit they can get.

Just thrown on the +1. Ha thanks for the heads up lads

Looking tasty so far!!

Caught bits of this.  I'll have to watch this tomorrow. I saw the Ferguson bit - looked naughty didn't it!

Let's hope Channel 4 bid for the footie next - another channel we won't have to see the fella on!

Was good, but a lot of the slim on him was only here say. So nothing will happen. Robson on the other hand is fu**ed.

Robson name dropping Kenny. F**k off!!! Owning two clubs through spin out special vehicles. . . How do you monitor those structures. Would be laughable if it wasn't scary. Offshore ownership trusts. Dead owners? What the?

Like season ticket holders eh?

Ha ha ha fergie u dog hope u get fu**ed for this.

Dodgy as F**k.

Hope Robson and Ferguson get burned good.

I hope this doesn't ruin that nice man's relationship with Fergie.

Anyone know if this is going to end up on 4OD?

I'm intrigued now, definitely going to look out for this on 4OD and Facebook a link to it 

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/ Ready and waiting for you.

Nice one, RP. I'll be watching that in the early hours when I get home!

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

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

Just watched the second half of it.

Oh dear, Ferguson does pick his friends well!

Merely confirms all I knew about the filthy f**king tramp.

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.

Nothing really pinned on Fergie, but it's not the first time he, Bruce, McLeish & Redknapp's names have been mentioned with murky dealings.

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.
