Did anyone watch this today? Just watching now and it links in with something Niall Quinn posted yesterday. We've all been had. The board have fattened up the club and sold of their shares to make a tidy profit. They've caught Bryan Robson on tape exposing some dodgy stuff. It's a real piss take.

Just watched it online, cheers for the heads up PnG. It was an interesting watch, I think most people are aware the 'fit and proper' test wasn't altogether thorough but how easy it looked to buy 2 or 3 clubs was a little disturbing.

I think the attitude that people like Robson has towards the game that gave him everything is the most disturbing aspect. Plus the contempt that is very evidently held by these people for the fans. I wonder are there any fit and proper people running clubs these days? If fan-shafting Arsenal is held up as the ideal model then football is on its last legs.
