After the due diligance had passed, Belgian businessman Roland Duchatelet has now taken over the club.

Valley sees this as very good news for the club's future and investment in players which is badly needed to enable the club to see this season out in the Championship and work towards the PL over the next few years.

Mr Duchatelet also owns Standard Liege as well funding a social liberal party in Belgium which believes in the re-distribution of wealth.

Who knows, Britain is crying out for an alternative left of centre party to Labour now the Lib Dems have moved to the right, so perhaps we may see a new political movement in time in this country. - view external link
