He says that the new owners were simply trying to get out of paying his fees. When asked why he didn’t sue them he stated it would cost $1m to take them to a US court to sue for libel.
He introduced Chien Lee to 8 different English football clubs running up to the deal to purchase Barnsley FC
According to Jarvis the non disclosure agreement has now ended relating to the deal and more information will be revealed.
He says Chien Lee is a good guy who will be a good custodian of the club but keeps bad company, adding karma will come to Conway.
The claims by Conway that he cut off communication with Jarvis are also incorrect..... it was Jarvis who cut off communication with Conway due to comments he made at a meeting in London about Patrick Crynes health, adding “ he’s a bad guy who tried to do a deal with the owners son at half price when Mr Cryne died. He slowed down the deal to do this “
Jarvis states he was in Beijing when accused of leaking information to the Barnsley Chronicle and a 2yr legal case followed for him to eventually get paid his fees.
