Sir Jim Ratcliffe.......

[BlackHaddock]

Anyone got his phone number? Thought he might like to put some money into an up and coming football club.

Didn't realise that AS Monaco FC were looking for investors at the moment?

I’m sure his right hand man Dave Brailsford would love to put some performance enhancing drugs into a upcoming football club. Not even allegedly.

Is that based on inside information? Or just merely suppository?

I'm pretty sure he already owns Nice so I don't think he'd be allowed to invest in Monaco

Yeah, two clubs in the south of France would be silly; especially when there is a footballing (sleeping) giant on the Lincolnshire Riviera that might interest him.

He wouldn't be interested in Grimsby, he only runs evil institutions.

Looks like something is happening with Robbie Williams and the Vale aside from the concert!

Maybe an album together?

Was something on the BBC site where he said he wasn't interested in a football club atm.

It appears to be to do with next seasons kit as Errea have stated they are involved... likely a shirt sponsor deal with with the RW brand (whilst we will no doubt get stick could be a genius move with the concert at VP = loads shirt sales) or maybe even him sponsoring us with one of the charities as the shirt sponsor.

Either way it’s great to see him finally getting much more involved under this regime with attending matches again, doing the concert and wearing the Vale gear in a lot of press stuff he does... and of course his team talk before Mansfield in the cup!
