Just a snippet from today's Express. (paraphrased for brevity)

YBR is to make an investment in "Non-League Media" a company soon to float on the AIM.(Alternative Investment Market). Robson is to put an "unspecified sum" into the group at the placing price. He will also receive share options and become a non-executive director and patron of NLM's weekly non-league newspaper. The paper was launched 2 months ago and has a 34000 circulation. The target market is the 3 million people involved in non-league football. The company plans to raise #2m giving it a market cap of #10m.

Just thought I'd mention this as I spotted it inadvertently on the City pages in the paper. This share placing could be a canny investment. Anything with wor Bobby's name on it should dee aall reet. I'm sure it won't distract him from his duties at SJP, and I certainly hope that he doesn't get the 2 jobs confused in any way! (-;
