Finally got rid of their hated owner but at a cost..... receivership and a possible 12 point deduction due to a 25million debt but their fans may  think it’s worth it to get rid of him.

Once played for their London supporters in the top division of the Supporters clubs in London league - against Rangers - great fun as two Rangers players were sent off for fighting each other. Tackled one of the others a bit hard (?) and he called me a "dirty English *******".

 

 

Got into that as my best pal at work was from there and a fanatic Pool fan - got so fed up with it all he ended up supporting his local London team and ended up chairman of Leyton Green FC

 

 

Had a soft spot for them ever since.

Know the sponsor of the club successful garage businessman don't think he will that kind of spare cash though.

When they won their way into the EPL, their crowds were only o around 10k.

 

Not exactly a sleeping giant, so have they got ability to raise the cash to move forward?

Not sure I would trust Belokon (who won the court case) either.

 

However, Belokon, who bought a 20% stake in the Tangerines in 2006, is currently disqualified from club ownership after being given a 20-year jail term in Kyrgyzstan for "money laundering, tax evasion and dishonesty" in his absence in May 2017.

He subsequently failed the English Football League's Owners' and Directors' Test in September 2017.

Despite this, Belokon said in April he was working with the EFL to reverse the decision to disqualify him because it ignored "basic principles of natural justice".

Did the Kyrgyzstan authorities call him "A Glib & Shameless Liar"
