One thought his club was a BBQ restaurant. Another had never seen a match.There are messiahs and men on the run, philanthropists and fraudsters, a gun-runner, fake sheikhs and others who don’t exist. Some even like football. The adventures of British football’s foreign legion of owners are as diverse as their backgrounds. Even the successes are scarcely credible: an oligarch and a sheikh rescued their clubs from the abyss, turningthem into grateful global enterprises. In these fascinating tales, theSunsportswriter & BFM pundit Bob Holmes takes us to oblivion and back – and lives to tell the tale.
