Interesting theory "from another place":-
"I'll take a guess. These guys belong to a club. You could call it the 'funeral undertakers' club. They have no obvious connection but they all use a standard template, with minor variations for buying up sick businesses and burying them. They know how to do leveraged buy outs, CVA's, liquidations, how to stiff the owners, the revenue, the creditors and anyone else who is in the road in a business sense. The british members of the club will live outside UK for tax purposes and have business registered there, the foreign ones don't need to. The setting up and dismantling of offshore companies in tax shelters is routine.
So they will cross each others path fairly frequently and a trawl of account holders in Grand Cayman would reveal thousands of racketeers who would have lots in common, and have done business together at some time.
Should prosecute them all for fraud and tax evasion, confiscate their passports and leave them stateless................but thats another argument. For the moment, Surr Davie, Craigiebhoy and Charliebhoy are giving us our best laff for years.
My take on Charlie is that it will all end in tears. He'll stiff them big time. Don't even know if he cares about transfer bans etc. Players cost money anyway.
Must tell him about jelly and ice cream when i next meet him at the undertakers club."
Please be true.
