First it was going to be the new name of Mansfield Town.

Now John Batchelor wants to take over Chester City and re-name then Harchester United.

This is the man who added S o c c e r Club to York City's name to attract American backing. Before liquidating their assets and making himself a fortune.

This is what he said when he tried to get Mansfield

“Let’s be clear, I want a football club, preferably one in the league. The ONLY reason that I want it is to make money, the only reason that I want to do that is to look after my immediate family. I can only do that by making it work on the pitch and as a result making it work commercially.”

“This would be MY club, if you like what you see come and watch, if you don’t, then stay away. I am not even interested in discussing it with “fans”, however, I will talk to customers anytime. If Mansfield is going to host professional football, it has to accept that there need to be some HUGE changes at this club. If the fans don’t want to host it, all they need to do is not turn up. I have a plan, and I have a vision of what football needs to do, I am going to do my best to achieve it, I am not a multi-millionaire, just a guy who has some idea’s who is prepared to have a go and take a risk”

“I will budget for no fans turning up at the ground, which really every club should do. As you will have seen from my replies, I am not trying to attract negative thinkers, either get behind this, or watch football somewhere else. IF I am successful in achieving ownership, this will be MY club, MY business and up to me to provide entertainment, it is MY risk. I would have thought that it would be better to start off with honest responses. I am in this to make money.”

I fear for Chester if he manages it. More importantly for the FANS' of Chester.

Would the above be submissible as evidence in any "Fit and Proper Person" test?

It may be admissible

It's Friday and I'm tired and needing drink.

If he took over Hartlepool I'd kill him.

....voilently.

how else?
