Blair and Robinson; don't confuse opportunist Capitalists with Socialists.

Passed national secrets to Russian agents. News will break tomorrow.

And people think he had good intentions for the club? He robbed us and ruined us.

You're asking the stupid not to be stupid.

 

[Bumberclart]

Hopefully they will dig into his finances now. We might be due a refund, or at least some PPI.

Maybe he was trying to get Abramovich in!

 

[Nick]

Wait, he was a spy?

I've had a beer but now did he know national secrets

Who has supported Geoffrey Robinson on this forum?

 

[Nick]

To be fair, he's got a review in the national media as a top shagger. That's all i got from that article

Who has supported Geoffrey Robinson on this forum?

Not many I’d imagine

I'm no fan of Robinson but it wouldn't be the first Daily Mail / Tory baseless hatchet job on somebody associated with Labour or trade unions etc.
Funny really, the Mail gives credibility to communist sources when it suits.

Did realise Robinson was such a player with some seriously attractive women - he’s James Bond

All seems a bit far fetched. As Paymaster General is one of the top 3 or 4 jobs in government he would’ve been privy to all sorts of information. Didn’t he have to resign due to a loan or something like that?

Who cares and what has it got to do with ccfc. Load of bollocks

Peter Mandelson’s first resignation from the Blair cabinet was caused when it emerged that he had taken an undeclared loan from Geoffrey Robinson in order to buy a home. They both left the government as a result.

Didn’t Daily Mail attempt to link Jeremy Corbyn with some Czech spy a few years ago turned out to be bollox, now Boris Johnson has threw his hat in the ring to be PM we’ll have alsorts of right wing crap on their front pages,

Mr Robinson, who will be 81 later this month, has also long been a director of Coventry City Football Club but he has scaled back his business commitments and his pursuit of the high life as his health has started to fail.

But still managed to be an mp while is health failed shows how easy that life is.

 

[dutchman]

But still managed to be an mp while is health failed shows how easy that life is.

The only MP with a 100% attendance record - Dennis Skinner - has long said so.

During debates on controversial subjects such as cuts to disability payments, there are seldon more than three or four MPs present from each side, and the ones on the Tory benches look as if they'd rather be anywhere else than listening to the debate.

 

[Magwitch]

Robinson’s link to this Italian mega rich actress was well known and I am certain she became a bit of a Sky Blue fan and put a bit of money our way at the time.

 

[Ian1779]

There’s no way Geoffrey Robinson has/had the capability required to be a spy.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Im just hoping the nickname of "Karko" sticks on here

 

[Magwitch]

Spies? What are their back grounds ? the most thorough the likes of Guy Burgess Angus MacClean Kim Philby etc. part of the Cambridge five are ex public school, the type rags such as the Mail love. yet proclaimed almost every shop steward and conveyor, reds under the beds, were paid up members of the KGB.

 

[Mcbean]

Clearly passed them important stuff like Gordon Strachan is a useless manager ! And Telfer was a rubbish golfer !

He’d be as convincing as Roger Moore and a raised eyebrow

 

[Ashdown]

Any chance of SISU having grounds to sue him for damage to CCFC ?!

 

[fatso]

I have no knowledge of any spying allegations, but I do know he’s a low life, manipulating aragant, self obsessed greedy fat c**t.

Who sat on the justice Taylor committee into stadium seating = GR
Who leaked the findings of the report to his mate and WBA board member Mike Mginity = GR
Who then bought a stadium seating company that was going bust for £1 = MM
Who then got the big contracts to re fit national stadiums worth millions = MM
Who then left WBA and ended up on the board of ccfc next to his best mate GR =MM.

All the above is alleged, but feel free to do your own research.
