hypochondriac Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I'd be reluctant to make any half-baked judgement about the suitability of someone to potentially own and/or run a football club based on their name alone... though weirdly I seem to be in a minority. But when there is nothing else to go on of course people are going to make jokey initial judgements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 "Their batting has been strengthened by the arrival of 28-year-old Quinten Hubbard, who has joined the club after arriving in the island during the winter. The ****gy-haired property developer has represented Hampshire at under-19 level and he is the husband of the island hockey development officer, Becky Hubbard. ‘We’ve lost a couple of people but gained a good cricketer in Quinten,’ said the captain. ‘He looks a solid middle-order batsman and a very useful orthodox off-spinner.’" He's a youngster then...

krissyboy31 Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 As mentioned before, if these guys are a serious bidder, how come their names have been leaked and not the other potentials? Presumably because they are the front runners? Preferred bidders? The ones the creditors want? The ones with the most funds? Passed all the fit and proper persons checks? All of the above?

DT Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Not too sure if it's anything to do with it, but Project Blue Ltd is a Guernsey based property company who did the work on the Chapel Chelsea Barracks. Have a look at link http://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20080708050055/Project%20Blue%20(Guernsey)%20Limited%20USD%202,365,000,000%20Syndicated%20Ijara%20Financing%20Facility No, Project Blue is fronted by the Candy brothers, who are in with the Qataris at Chelsea, the scheme which was all over the papers last weekend because Prince Charles doesn't like it.
