Woops!! The following is picked up from Google:- Roger Tamraz, an international financier and entrepreneur
in the oil business, is presently wanted by police in at least
two countries. A naturalized American citizen, he has been
ordered by a French court to pay the equivalent of some $ 57
million in connection with the collapse of a French bank and
faces an Interpol arrest warrant for allegedly embezzling
between $154 and $200 million from the failed Al Mashreq Bank
in Lebanon, of which he had been the chairman. In June 1995,
Tamraz--who had left Lebanon in 1989 with the assistance of
Syrian authorities--was also sentenced in absentia to 15 years
in prison by a military court in Lebanon.1 Tamraz
has also been closely involved in business dealings with
Libya's state-controlled National Oil Company, to which he sold
or with which he merged his own Tamoil company.
Tamraz acknowledges his various continuing legal problems,
admitting that ``if anyone puts my name in NEXIS-LEXIS, you get
a lot of horror stories.'' 3 Nevertheless, he
maintains that he is entirely innocent of wrongdoing, having
been unfairly persecuted by his enemies because of his efforts
on behalf of ``the U.S. and peace'' and because he was
``portrayed as a Jew, a dirty word in the context in which it
was used.''

Tell you what, we'll just have the money and ask questions after.

Just another thought will the FA judge him a fit and proper person to run a football club ?

As long as the new owner can avoid selling players, ground, hotel, training ground etc and also invest a bit of money, my principles are going out the window. We need saving quickly so let's have his cash. Is he the first supposed buyer to actually have money? |

Sounds rather far fetched altogether to me and if he is the subject of an Interpol arrest warrant you can forget him being deemed a fit and proper owner. No more truth in this than any of the other stories coming out. It just shows how desperate we are that we take seriously such a ridiculous story.

There been plenty of stories about how Abramovich came into his money but no one seems to be too bothered...

Very far fetched and the whole thing has a whiff of "desperation" to evoke a response from a more likely buyer. It's the equivalent of buying a car but getting told " I can't promise it won't be taken if you don't commit now, I've got another guy coming down to look this afternoon"
That said I still think if you get a hotel, ground and club for 16m then it's a good investment. We're not a bad "fixer upper"

Agreed We'll have the cash I'm sure, but we'll also have more managers than Leeds as I can only see a leader like him hiring and firing every 5 mins. Deffo worse than Darkshite |

I've not even given The BN the time to read that sham article. The only stories that have been printed about Bolton that have any truth in them came from The Mail i.e. no money for staff. They were denied but we all know that now to be true.
As for the Trust, I saw Portsmouth on football focus today and they really seem to have a great spirit now. Is the trust realistic. 5,000 fans at £10 each says no. But if there is a 30 strong consortium and i'm sure those 5,000 would step up and give £100(D/D). Its a viable option maybe.
