Michael Knighton always just seem to stay on the right side of both the laws of the land and those of the Football League. Although some of his business practices led him to be banned as company director.
A clever bloke when it came to promoting a football club though and knew how to get the punters in. Lost his mind in the latter days.
He sued one or two people who said he never has the funds in place to buy Manchester United - and won!
He was actually very unlucky to get the directors ban for what he did those rules were never intended to cover people running schools his mistake was that hed turned it into a ltd company.
And at no point did he ever say he had the funding to but MUFC outright but then again neither did the Yanks the plan was just to put up enough cash to by the controlling interest and use reverse leverage or whatever it called to buy the club using its own money and assets
But yes without doubt hed definitely lost the plot towards the end made worse by putting his cretin of a son in to run the club..
And without doubt i.d have him back tomorrow over the present arseholes and you can be sure thered be no 3200 gates for the most important game of the seson until him.
