Airbus would have been a handy sponsor |  | | |  |

Right, I know nothing of this sort of shenanigans, but if he or anyone associated with the club is found to have washed their dirty money through the club, is it all down to the individual, or can the club be punished as well? |  |

Luckily it seems to be Caterham, not us.
But if it turns out we've only been FFP compliant because of dodgy money we shouldn't have had then...
Plus criminal convictions could bring up the fit and proper owner test, maybe why they shifted chairmanship to Amit.
All speculation at this stage of course.

Yeh like I say it seems to be Caterham.
Criminal convictions presumably a possibility though?
Saw an article today that suggested this could be politically motivated because he backed the other candidate in the recent election over there? | | | |

Either way position untenable and should resign | | | |

Possibly.
But also possibly innocent of all charges. | |

Don't be daft.
They have stepped away for two months so as not hinder, or be accused of hindering, the investigation.
The Caterham was covered in the Airbus name. Why wasn't this a normal business relationship?
The prime minister of Malaysia Mahathir bin Mohamad obviously has it in for Fernandes
who chose the wrong side to back in the 2018 election. It's the way politics is in South East Asia.
My prediction - Nil effect on QPR. | | | |

But the issue here is the Airbus sponsorship, a sponsorship which is allegedly mixed up with a deal to place an order with Airbus.
Or have I lost the plot again? |
No mate. I'm taking the mick |  |

Used that phrase to an American at work the other day
"I'm just taking the Mick"
"The what?"
"Taking the Mickey out of you"
"What's that?"
"You know, pulling your leg"
"Doing what?"
"Taking the p1ss mate"
"I don't understand"
"Oh my god, I'm winding you up"
"What does that mean?"
I walked away. |  | | |

I think it's just a temporary thing for two months until the enquiry finishes. If a positive outcome I guess he'll go back. If not... |  |

On Mahathir...
Both Tony Fernandes and Vincent Tan are Mahathir creations. Mahathir was the one who gave Fernandes Air Asia.
Mahathir (now aged 94) came back because the corruption of the Razak government was so colossal. |  |

judging by the reports today he has temporarily stepped aside to help the investigation, he fully expects to be cleared of any wrong doing. |  | | |

Possibly, but no one spends years building a multi-billion £ company and then steps away on the back of idle, unfounded speculation. | |

He hasn't sold his shares, though, Deja.
Look, it's not good either way. I'm just trying to decipher it all. | |

Appreciate that Brian. It’ll all come out in time obviously.
I think the silence is a bit odd as well. You’d expect them to put something out, even if it’s just a bland holding statement. | |

Bribery in southeast Asia? I've never heard of that before now...
Ps in case that sarcasm didn't come across, i shouldn't think there's ever been any kind of deal done over here where there hasn't been bribes paid somewhere along the line.

not many in the rest of the world either, unfortunately its how the world works from governments and multi national corporations down to local councils, everyone loves a sweetener
I find it all a bit hypocritical for anyone to denounce a corporate inducement if they have ever chosen one product or service over another because they get cashback or M&S vouchers or Airmiles
Thats really all thats happened here, look buy our Planes instead of Boeings and we will give you cashback in the shape of sponsorship for your teams
how different really is that from buying a Sony telly instead of a Samsung because of a £100 cashback voucher or a free soundbar |  | | |
