Lowestoft boy with £8bn in his back pocket looking for a new role.

Delia could send him an e mail.

Is he worth a punt?

I''m paraphrasing but I think I heard Eddie Jordan say of him this morning on the radio "If you made him sign a contract, he''d tell you he would do everything possible to break it, but if you shook his hand he would stand by it". Sounds like a wide boy from the fifties, not someone I''d trust with my club.

Here Bernie demonstrates his astute grasp of what is going on

Ecclestone was born in St Peter, South Elmham, a hamlet three miles south of Bungay, Suffolk.[14] The son of a fisherman, he attended primary school in Wissett before the family moved to Danson Road,[15] Bexleyheath, south east London, in 1938.[14] Ecclestone left West Central Secondary School, Dartford[16] at the age of 16 to work as an assistant in the chemical laboratory at the local gasworks[17] testing gas purity. He also studied chemistry at Woolwich Polytechnic[16] and pursued his hobby of motorcycles.

To be fair I''d rather see his daughters in the directors box than Delia and her mum
