It's only worth noting if something tangible comes out of his visit.

I doubt if anyone on this message board cares if he received hospitality fit for a king. I guess members are savvy enough to work out the cost/benefit on any visit if the facts are made known

Not an overly helpful one though.

Nice bit of fence sitting pete....its a pity your reply wasnt after he had booked his tickets to lagos to meet chief kamu dudu lamalama owner of the largest parrot egg company in nigeria....the good news is we can keep the blue kit as the parrots evidently have blue wings.

I am sure we will never know the costs of the whole affair. However if the cost of a trip is time rather than money would it be worth a punt?

Your spelling is crap. It's Adam Lallana, and we missed him.

Funny that's so simple its ridiculous! I'm sure its something we all did when we heard this guys name. I think you missed your calling - I'm going to put you forward as our new CEO. Certainly more clued in than the current incumbent

Regardless of what the internet shows about the go-between, if there is trip to meet significant businessmen in the middle-east that costs the Club nothing then it isn't much of a gamble. I would like to know what would have been said on here if it were known our CEO had turned down such an opportunity?

It would've been along the lines of "thank God he didn't go out to the middle east to pursue financial backing with a quite obviously fake sheikh" I reckon. At least, that would've been my reaction.

I am not sure any he met out there or who paid for the trip come into that category!

What would you call Abdullatif Alnassar?

Goku, on 04 December 2014 - 03:23 PM, said:

A fake owner of an English football club? (amongst other things mainly unprintable)

Goku, on 04 December 2014 - 03:23 PM, said:

Did he ever claim to be a 'Sheikh'? To be honest I was under the impression all along from reading between the lines with situation that he was just a go between that he could possibly introduce us to people that could invest. As with pictures with Turner with 'Top Businessmen' etc. Couldnt quite work out what Abdullatif Alnassar's own personal finances had to do with it at all if thats all he was doing.

So you are confirming that the trip was fully funded by someone other than the club?

That is a relief

And if Mr. Allen isn't a bit more on the ball than you give him credit for, then I'm stumped. He hasn't got somewhere in the order of 70 million big ones in front of you by buying oil wells from fake sheikhs, and in his business he'll have learned to tell a con man from somebody who might just pay off before the first million was in.
As somebody else pointed out, if we'd ignored a genuine opportunity the Board would explode.
DA, a highly astute and successful multi-millionaire thought it was worth the price of a ticket. You, slightly less rich, think you know better, even though you had nothing to do with any of the negotiations.
Google away, but I should try to spend a bit more time in the real world.

That last line is complete throwaway bullshit. You're posting on a forum for a start.

I've had a look for it and it's seemingly been removed now, but when you googled his name before all this kicked off it came back with reviews about his "Progression Academy" where essentially the people who signed up to him and his business were leaving reviews explaining how what he was promising was a complete and utter lie, he was essentially taking their money and not delivering on what he said he was going to do. A more obvious conman you will not find. Then there were reviews in broken pigeon english from people saying "yes please ignore all other negative reviews mister abdullatif is genuine his business is very real you will not be disappointed", obviously either himself or associates who he had got to log on and write positive reviews in an attempt to cover up the large amount of negative, truthful ones. THEN this bloke starts saying he owns the club etc. and you lot are happy we looked into this "business opportunity" on the basis that it's dave allen, how could he ever be fooled i mean it's not like our players earnt such ridiculous bonuses that we made a big loss on our best season in recent years (a league title and a JPT final). £20,000 a player - how could a man of DA's calibre let that slip by him?! surely not?! the numerous mistakes made by CT, surely DA wouldn't let that happen? He's got a lot of money don't you know, the bloke can't possibly make an error.

I'd suggest spending more time on Google and at least attempting to learn what you're talking about before entering a debate on the matter. For crying out loud, this chuffin forum outed this guy as a conman, how long did that take? it took a few members using google about one day in total.

you really do make me laugh.

^^ just look at this post ffs

im so glad we're going out and exploring all these brilliant "business opportunities", i've got a business opportunity it involves sending me your bank card along with the pin number and i'll increase your money beyond your wildest dreams, i presume half of this forum will be well up for this if I say that Dave Allen sanctioned it and I work for CFC?

H Again is one of those old people who get scammed by people ringing up saying they've got spyware on their pc and you need to buy their special anti-virus software to save it

What??
Try again when the red mist has thinned.

No one is against CFC exploring realistic avenues of investment. How likely is it though, that a cowboy like this chap, was ever going to produce the goods? Do good things ever come from people like him?

Not like you to completely ignore the crux.
