Evening standard - new chairman

[MattyRangers]

Rumours are circulating we are after Vettel and Hamilton for 10 million

cant be any worse than Vine ?

[Olly]

That was top drawer mate

It did seem a bit wishful as I was typing it. But I couldn't stop myself.

[Terry-Mancini-123]

Wonder if this means that the Mittals won't be renting their Chelsea box this season, as they'll be using it themselves?!

[Mellowhoop]

This is utter muck. Don't believe for a second.

[Shania]

Oh no!!

I´m so dissapointed.

[Bigears]

If that is the case its just another move to stopus complaining like before.

So carry on as we are :(

[NW9_RANGER]

There's more to this otherwise putting out that statement would make no sense

but wait that does make sense where our board are concerned

[dave58]

2 words spring to mind YES MAN .Also if he has brought a minor stake in the club which reduces their stake and seeing as flav only owns very little if you consider that Bernie has 62% mittals have 33% what did he get for his money? other than being able to lord it up as a Prem chairman

[stainrodisalegend]

Would mean him buying a stake in the club, so not a yes man. If that is used to invest in the club - and why else would bernie want to bring him in otherwise - it could be positive news.

[MYU]

I thought GP was the 'Yes' man?

Tony Fernades will last a few months max, I see a big bust up and may result in him leaving F1 Team as well.

His good at poaching people he wants.

[BUSHRANGER1982]

I would have thought Fernandes would be too busy to become chairman. Then again, what does our current chairman actually do? apart from pull dodgey PR moves

Fernandes is a CEO. If he is anything like every CEO I've ever slaved for, I'd seriously doubt he would know what a busy day was, even if it were able to bite him on the asss.

I don't really understand

BE&FB want to sell up and cash in. They don't invest so they can take maximum yield. They turn down an offer from the Mittals and brief some chap to find them £100m for their shares. The club announce the rules of the playing field for such a takeover to happen.

The next day they decide "Nah **** it, let's just put this bloke in charge and carry on"

Reads like the Standard just making stuff up on the back of the Mail story

Put the doom and gloom on hold lads it's not called the Sub Standard for nothing..
But heaven forbid they actually get it right for once we could deeper in the brown stuff, with clique of greese monkeys just interested in shafting the club for what they can get their greesey paws on
