First Wazzock 902 Posted June 2, 2009 Interesting...Have heard rumours in the channel islands that a offer is being lined up for Norwich city by a wealthy Guernsey business consortium. Apparent problem is the clubs debt, which they would want to re negotiate and transfer to Guernsey offshore banks. That''s all I know, don''t support the club, just what I have heard through my work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilson696 0 Posted June 2, 2009 Hi, 1st post and all that. I am from Guernsey and a Norwich fan, I do not think this rumour is Southampton based as Southampton are now in the cooling off period with the Pinnacle (?) group who are fronted by Le Tissier. But I would be very aware if this is true, as i can only see the land being worth any money. There is only one person i know here with any kind of links to the club and he is a property delveloper (and former board member of QPR) who was/is very good friends with Chase, he also claims to know Delia well. I have asked him and he says he has heard nothing and reckons if there was any truth in this he may well of heard.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrible journalism to state that it is still the Nationwide League though!I don''t really understand though Wazzock, is this a serious post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The IR now have the power to serve disclosure orders on the banks. Its still ok if you never intend to walk the money home, but there is now a £5k limit on cash withdrawals.

In fact, the Channel Islands are one of the world''s premier offshore financial services centres, along with Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man. They will be less popular with UK tax payers who wish to hide money from Her Manjesty''s Revenue and Customs now, since a case a few years ago which forced the Island''s main (UK based) banks to disclose their UK customer base, but that is how the world is going now. It doesn''t change the status as one of the world''s premier financial services and investment centres, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
