Tony Cottee has open ed up on his role with PAI Capital – declaring that its his job to liaise with the fans and help them understand what’s going on in the group’s takeover aspirations.
ClaretandHugh’s Gonzo conducted the near half an hour interview and it’s a must watch for all fans.
TC made it clear that whilst he hadn’t been paid a single penny by PAI he would be taking a role with the group – along with the Ferdinand brothers – should their bid prove successful..
He indicated that Anton Ferdinand had a particular interest in the academy although no roles had been decided or discussed beyond that either for himself or Rio.
However, he made it clear that he had no real idea how a second bid – which is due this week – would be received making it clear that was in the hands of David Sullivan.
“He declared: “I’m not a mind reader!”.
He is unlikely too be paid a penny either as they don’t have two hapennies too rub together
Still didnt answer the Rio ferdinand situation for me. All he said was he basically had a pundit job. Sorry you cant in my opinion back a takeover and advocate selling that clubs players. That is surely a conflict of interest in my opinion. Sorry thought it was glossed over. Still not for me.
I watched the interview wiry cottee , listen he comes across as honest & genuine . He’s a legend , when he talked about Johnny Lyell , that bought back memories Hugh , Johnny Lyali’a claret & blue army playing in my head . I watched cottee & Mc Avenue . I trust he does want the best for the club & wants what I want investment in the stadium & the squad . Absolutely must keep Moyes too , given funds he will improve us imagine doing a Leicester. I’m conning around to the ideas ! COYI ⚒ let’s beat Leicester ⚒
He came across well but we are still very short on detail other than there’s dough but investors expect a return which is the same model as current owners.
