I thought Stanley was Remain and Boris was Leave?
I can't say I'm overly happy with having the Johnson clan involved too closely with the club but who is to say that they are? This could have simply been a corporate event in which Bakrie had something else to pitch to the Johnsons and meeting at the Kassam was the easiest and best place to do it ...
If it greases the wheels towards getting the new stadium, I may be willing to look the other way and accept that getting into bed with a Johnson is the way to do it (and we wouldn't be the first - nor last if BoJo fails to change a habit of a lifetime). I'd rather we kept this process clean from visible political interference if we can but beggars can't be choosers.
