    Yes, I meant no less dangerous than Conway, not in terms of his shares reducing :) Sad to see what they're doing to other unsuspecting clubs around Europe.

    I still don't understand what their business plan/get out strategy is ie. Lee and Conway.
    Unless they're just paying themselves handsome dividends at all the clubs they own and enriching themselves that way.

    (But then don't you have to make a profit in order to pay yourself a dividend,and I'm guessing most of their clubs aren't run profitably )

    So we know he's coming over here for a good session on the Ale but is he going to games?

    I'm guessing Conway is taking a salary, at the Clubs he's at. I think he did while he was with us, but someone might tell me I'm wrong there. Then they probably expect to hit the odd golden goose. They made an absolute fortune on Nice. They seem to be investing very little in the Clubs they're involved with, beyond their initial stake. They're universally hated by the fans of every Club they're involved with. I think I read somewhere, that they were looking to offload KV, with a £10m price tag mentioned. That was before they got relegated though.

    Some people may say he’s got his priorities right

    Good to hear that, I must admit I have wondered as he is never mentioned or in the press.
    Not necessarily a bad thing at all but I was wondering if he was more of a silent investor.

    It wouldn't surprise me. Spend a bit if we go up to make sure that's the lowest level we play at again.

    I'd previously thought the same thing, but I asked a question directly to Neerav Parekh regarding this last summer and his reply was that they were as bad as each other.

    Promoted or not this season, we can't underestimate how much of a better position we're in than 12 months ago.

    That day it was announced that Conway and Chien were off the board I felt like I had my club back. As a result I've enjoyed this season far more than any since the Hecky days, Val's play offs and Stendel's promotion included.

    One made us, one saved us. And I'm not saying Neerav should be "and another saved us again" but I wonder if we'll look back in a few years and be holding him in similar esteem for saving us from the grip of PMG.

    Sounds like no love lost. Does he have any connection with them apart from BFC?

    There was also the little matter of them taking £7.50 out of the clubs accounts, to go towards buying it. How can they be allowed to do business like this ?.
    And yeah I know it was 750k!!. :eek:

    I think Chien has sold some of BFC so he can plough more into KV in order to make a bigger return once the Saudis make an offer.

    Or summat

    Does Neerav have any money? I thought we got him mixed up with a namesake from a wealthy Indian family?

    He's not bart a bob or two. Created a company called vPhrase. Worth millions. But I think his dad is mega wealthy, although now I can't find the link.
