The Haitian was born in Paris, France. Think that makes him more French than Haitian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not an imaginary place inhabited by mythical creatures like Brigadoon, Atlantis and Mossley? If you've never had Snakebite and Blue Bols you've missed a thing from back in the day. Blue Bols ist he original Blue Curacao liqueur. Gratuitious emoji use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I've been a bit busy and am not up to date on what's going on, thought I'd read the last page of this thread to get up to speed. Our new owners date Arabs from Dundee with Parisian Haitians whilst drinking Snakebite and Bols. After the last 25 years of supporting Latics I think I've now got a fairly good handle of the current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Just seen that...he's got an horrendous record as a coach. Hardly managed to complete a full season anywhere.

"An Agent in Charge Perhaps the most cautionary tale, though, is at first division Mouscron. Officially, since 2015, the club has been owned by two Maltese companies: Gol Football Limited, which paid €8.5 million (over $10 million) to rescue the club from bankruptcy in 2015, and Latimer International Limited, which bought it a year later — for €10. Both companies are connected to Pini Zahavi, the Israeli agent, and his son and nephew, Gil and Adar, sit on the Mouscron board. Since Zahavi — together with a business associate, the German-Macedonian agent Fali Ramadani — became involved at Mouscron, eight players have arrived on loan from Apollon Limassol of Cyprus, another club where Zahavi has strong connections. That has triggered concerns that the club is not being run for its own benefit, but for that of Zahavi, Ramadani and their clients, a place where they can showcase players in the hope of earning a move, or a base from which they can loan them out to other clubs — each time for a fee — in a bid to circumvent FIFA rules on agents’ owning the economic rights of players."
