If he didn’t see through WHAM… then he’s not a good judge of character.
Disregard the Hilton stuff in and of itself, it’s just part of a bigger picture: Ego.
Elliott’s MO has always been to stand next to power, next to money, next to kudos, next to attention… whoever it is… as he’s smart enough to know standing in that spot make others assume he is powerful, monied and important himself.
Anyone else remember the arse-clenching cringe of him getting himself onto the team sheet of the Wembley 1999 side which re-formed for a charity match? One of the lowest moments at GP, imho.
Wasn’t he also a Swann supporter when it suited?
Think back to the ‘Elliott / Sharpe’ thing 18 months or so ago. It was Sharpe with the actual money!
He also turned up at Sligo Rovers, along with a well-known Scunny fan, when they won the League of Ireland. Ian Baraclough was the manager and SE involved in local VW Dealership Colooney’s. That partnership didn’t last long.
He’s used his own platform to criticise supporters sceptical of the last two Chairmen.
