There's lot's of things that just don't add up in the #DerbyCounty story (not just the balance sheet)!

#DCFC

Fortunes squandered
Rules bent/broken
Offshore
Financial Engineering
Fronts
Fraudsters

It's not the first time the poor DCFC fanbase have been exposed to these c*nts

I was reminded of this incredible story from the mid 2000's that had passed me by at the time... but could be instructive of things to come.

#DCFC #QPR
- MD Nissan
- Fraud/Financial Engineering
- Offshore
- Loans/Mortgages on the stadium
- Dodgy solicitors & administrators

⚽️💸

The story about #MichaelHunt the biggest (uncovered) theft in the UK from #Nissan

Money Laundering through Swiss Trusts & banked in #Panama then loaned back to #QPR and #DCFC is the stuff of Spy movies!

@david_conn Nissan don't come out of this well - Anyway, moving on...💸⚽️

That story about #ABC Corporation and secretive offshore loans to UK Football clubs is the kind of stuff @DuffofBrentford & @tariqpanja write about in #FootballsSecretTrade

#MichaelTabor #PhilipGreen #Vibrac etc
Shadow control of Premier league clubs through financial leverage

That generation, the likes of;
#OctavBontar
#RobertMaxwell former DCFC owner
#TinyRowland (father of the partner of #MelMorris) #MohamedAlFayed
#AdilNasir etc etc
They were the forerunners in the cold war days of these new shady characters that live #Offshore 💸⚽️🌴
#Lineage

#QPR are also involved in that #ABC Corporation mysterious offshore loan scandal

Huge interest rates burdening an already 💰 broken club with additional debt (Like a drug dealer loaning a junkie money so the junkie can buy more drugs from the drug dealer & run up a bigger tab)!

There's so many scandals, it's hard to keep track!

Have a read of this story 👀

It's Organised Crime in different guises.

The Gangsters and the Suits 💰🌴⚽️

In terms of #OrganisedCrime

What ties that #QPR story of gangsters and guns in the boardroom, businessmen with shady contacts and offshore money men.

So back to #DCFC

I did a speculative thread a little while ago when #ErikAlonso and #ChristopherSamuelson were sniffing around a vulnerable and indebted #derby

The lineage is striking to me...

Gangster & Suits
Offshore, Bankers, Trusts

The brilliant @david_conn spells that saga involving #ABCCorporation #Offshore #Derby #QPR here...

Well worth a read - Remind you of that documentary by @AJIunit recently about #Samuelson

Rinse & Repeat 🔄💸🌴⚽️

independent.co.uk/sport/football…

I put this together nearly a year before that great investigative documentary came out #Samuelson

Could be a rough script!

And here's so much more too 💸🌴⚽️

Here's that lineage of shady money men that intersects with English #football

@threadreaderapp Could you unroll please?

Football administrators are an interesting bunch!

Some real 'characters' 👀💰

Imagine some of the scenarios they uncover and have to deal with!

Here's #Krasner discussing the #WiganAthletic situation with one of the fans who pushed hard & tried to uncover what the fuck went on with Wigan! 💸🤯⚽️

Behind the front of the football club, there are commercial deals that seem to possibly link (or at least have parallels) 🤔
