There were some absolute chancers trying to buy our club around this time. Some dodgy Kiwi guy called Victor Cattermole, That Joseph Calla who treid to buy Morecambe later on, I think there was some teenager with a conman dad trying as well at some point. The PST must have turned down loads of bids from crooked fuckers before the Eisner's took over.
How on earth did we allow asset strippers to almost finish our club? Who was responsible and who got compensated is a question that will remain.
Fortunately the one thing the Premier League ownership rules did get right is that they didn't allow owners to asset strip clubs directly, ie take out more money than they were putting in.
