Probably recommended the other one to Kyle though...

The family guy might well be on retainer as well whilst Kyle is still playing.I am confident Cliff chose the commercial one!
And this why the 'Fit and Proper Person' test is a joke.Joe Lewis indiscretions have a more simpler description - insider trading. Very illegal indeed. He may have "transferred" ownership to his family but let's be honest here, he is the de facto owner. Typical wide boy move, Arthur Daley would have been proud of him.
The man is a convicted criminal and yet, because on paper he doesn't own the club, nothing is said or done.

And Spurs were the club who originally got round FA rules about paid directors and other things, when they set up a holding company over 40 years ago.Joe Lewis indiscretions have a more simpler description - insider trading.

Instead of slapping them down, the FA were supine and, along with the scrapping of the ticket money sharing agreement, pretty well all the commercialisation of football started from there.

If you want to see a proper criminal owning a club look no further than forest. Though that all seems to get brushed under one of the PL many carpets.

He's been implicated in match fixing scandals involving the club he owns (Aris Thessaloniki) in the Greek League. Also investigated for drug trafficking and smuggling and breaking sanctions in regards to Russian oil.If you want to see a proper criminal owning a club look no further than forest.

Did he pass the " fit and proper " test for our football authorities ?
Seems a sound decision ........................

Thanks for spelling out Mr Lewis s reason to reassign his legal ownership of Spurs.Joe Lewis indiscretions have a more simpler description - insider trading. Very illegal indeed. He may have "transferred" ownership to his family but let's be honest here, he is the de facto owner. Typical wide boy move, Arthur Daley would have been proud of him.
It was quite generous of him to extend his knowledge to people close to him but a bit like the PL he felt he was above the legal requirements.
