www.coral.co.uk – The game of Cricket has hit the headlines once again this week and yet again it is for all the wrong reasons.
Allen Stamford who is a Texan Billionaire with a love for the beautiful game if Cricket is threatening to pull out of his 5 year plan in the twenty-twenty format of the game. All this seems to have come about after the English press cruelly in my opinion wrote bad things about the man after he was spotted with a few of the English players wife’s in a bar with one of them being pregnant (wicket keeper Matt Prior’s wife) sat on his lap, while their husbands were out playing in the multimillion winner takes all tournament that happened over in the Caribbean a couple of months ago.
The Texan billionaire Allen Stanford’s commitment to cricket was mired in uncertainty on Wednesday after his spokeswoman said he was "evaluating his options" following reports he was turning his back on the game was the official response from his camp but you cannot help thinking it is all the British Press that are to blame after they once again write things before finding out the truth which unfortunately is a common occurrence with the journalists of today.
Personally with the credit crunch as it is today also you cannot help thinking that Mr Stamford also wants’ to hold on to what he has piled up over the years and with him already giving his superstar team 20 million US dollars for beating England you can’t help thinking he is utilising a clause in his contract that gives him the chance to pull out without completing the 5 year contract he had signed up for.
