I always thought this French crapto bloke was a load of b o l l o c k s of a rumour.

For me, the interesting one is the Tom Brady involvement at Blues.

For the life of me I can’t understand why people like Miles are not reaching out to NFL stars such as Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers and to NBA players and people involved in motorsport.

There’s a growing movement of mega rich sportsmen who are getting involved in group buyouts of sporting organisations.

In the NFL Washington Commanders ( formerly Redskins ) have just been bought for £6 billion + and Magic Johnson is part of the group.

Mahomes is the biggest star in the NFL and hyper competitive and aiming to better Tom Brady’s career.

If anyone at our place had any nous they’d at least try to get a meeting with Mahomes and his management team and with his fellow teammate Travis Kelce.

These guys thrive on competition in everything that they do in life.

West Brom are still in the top 20 of football clubs in the U.K. in terms of stature, if I was a mega rich sportsman looking to invest we would be one of my top targets.

The problem is, you need directors with the wit and nous to talk up our history and get in the room with these types of people.
