Villan4Life Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Has Samuelson passed the Fit and Proper Director's test that was meant to have been today? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Samuelson allegedly has a chequered past and the worrying part is that the board is made up of his business partner and a long term associate of his, with samuelson being the most senior person on it. If he is doing anything dodgy there is no one who will report his actions, as anyone who is in a position to spot irregularities are allied to him. Although Xia is in control be is unlikely to be able to integrity check every little thing samuelson is doing due to being busy managing his other businesses. Samuelson pretty much has the power to do what he wants without any ramifications. That's scary. Edited June 17, 2016 by Made In Aston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post limpid Posted June 17, 2016 Administrator Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2016 For those potentially committing libel in this thread. If you are going to make allegations about Samuelson, you might want to have some proof that he's done anything wrong. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backofthenet Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'm pleased that the supporters club has requested a meeting with wyness and have also raised their concerns about the make up of our board i have a nasty feeling that Samuelson and banfill are gonna be having more than just a say in how our club is operating and one thing is for certain... They are here to make money for themselves, nothing more, nothing less 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, just maybe he did nothing inappropriate with the Reading money. I am only assuming this on the basis he is not in prison or indeed been arrested and released in connection with this issue? And obviously not been subjected to the unlitmate test of a dodgy geezer a parliament commission. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I've heard his name is Delilah at the weekends and he likes to wear a polka dot mini skirt whilst visiting the local pet store to look at the cute little bunnehz! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Wonder if the FA have found a woman's head in Samuelson's freezer yet. Or the mountain filled with children he led there with his magical recorder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not the people I'd want to run any business. I can't get my head around why Xia would choose these types if he's sound and well advised - he could get much better.

Jareth Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I see Samuelson at Recon Sports not necessarily only villa because Tony wants 4 clubs under the villa brand in different countries. The common language will be money and Samuelson is well versed, and a specialist at acquiring clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm just asking you to back up your comments, to make me aware of the concerns. For example, you mentioned Reading fans had questions about where "all" the money went. I'm presuming it went into the endless pit that is the Premier League, but I'm wondering if they came up with a different answer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not been (as far as I am aware, correct me if I am wrong) charged with anything let alone been proven guilty of anything untoward money wise. People have a right to be concerned, but mere suspicion does not mean that someone is not able to do the job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
