Thank god for Patrick Cryne

Tonight in this programme about dodgy football ownership/takeovers a certain 'Barnsley Town' were mentioned and we were told we were owned by Mark Openshaw Blower. At first I was worried - as in WHO THE FCK IS THAT!?!?! AND WHERE HAS CRYNE GONE?!?!?!
But it turns out Mark Openshaw Blower is a trustee of Cryne's and it looks like he has signed everything over to him incase he gets sent down later this year so really he's just got BFC at heart. What a legend our Paddy is Smile

But what would happen if it was found that Cryne had used Dirty money so to speak to fund the football club, not sure what he actually stands accused of but it must be serious to be standing trial at the old Bailey...

The trial involves the FSA (or their new equivalent) , folk with massive fining powers...........it must be very serious. You don't mess with them and it appears somewhere along the line he may have. Cool

Not seen the programme ( out on the booze) but by what you've said there it strikes me as a typical bit of " I've got a couple of quid wheeling and dealing"
