He was at the game v Mura in Slovenia. He is very hands on and passionate about the club. We are lucky to have such an individual running the show. I’m looking forward to seeing the new plans for Richmond and fully expect a 3D model to make them official.Quote:

Will it involve high density housing ad retail outlets either at a new build or on Richmond Park or is this a redevelopment of Richmond itself?Quote:

He seems to cover the big picture stuff in particular. He has been working on the new stadium and the Pakistani thing that didn’t work out etc . I’m not sure how involved he is in day to day decisions tbh. He is not absent owner is all I meant by hands on, he attends nearly every game that his schedule allows. I’m not sure what his other business ventures involve these days but I’m sure his has a busy schedule but always makes times for the club.Quote:

Change of government. The PM Imran Kahn was overthrown and a new administration was put in. It’s fair to say we took a punt on the project and got a bit unlucky that it bore no fruit.Quote:

*never mind as answered.
Khan will very possibly be back in power sooner than later, his party romping to wins in by elections. It is a risk to do business in Pakistan these days with their economic mess and the World Bank knocking on the door. It was likely that Khan would have been ousted but now the devil you know realisation is kicking in and he is back in favour. Its unusual to invest in a project and then have to bin it due to a leadership change - there are similar but more stable communities to have a go at.
It hasn’t been officially ended just gone very quiet since the change of government. I’ve been told a few promising players were discovered during our training camp and had potential. I’m sure the main partners in the scheme GSV are working behind the scenes to restart the project as they had far more invested and at stake in its success.Quote:

Is that a good omen!? I always found watching a game on tv or online to be way worse for the nerves than when I am actually at the game. I’m like calmness personified.Quote:

More relevant for Rovers though is that Qarabag have taken the lead against Fenerbahce, so it's Hungary for Rovers if they win through tonight
Fenerbache? You've your feners all mixed up
Whoops!
Yep, Ferencvaros
These Albanian lads talk a lot of sense.

Rovers looking a bit too open here and making some silly mistakes at the back. Lyons attempted a clearance and passed it straight to an attacker and a couple of minutes later Mannus kicked a ball into an attacker standing right in front of him. Got away with both tho. Having said all that, Towell had the best chance of the game but it was saved.
Good break by Rovers.
