They’d meet first for secret talks at PB’s chateau in the Dordogne.

Or as he is an OBE, (Old bloke from Edmonton), perhaps it will be in his council flat in north London.

If he’d been doing this for an entire season I’d have expected someone to have posted a photo of him at the airport by now. I have my doubts about this.

So slow, they probably got tired of waiting for him to arrive.

Now I think about it, we had a player land at Biggin Hill a few years ago.

Club always uses Biggin Hill as the Shoreham runway is too short for most planes.

Is Gatwick not an option, or is it too busy with commercial flights?

Private jets generally use either Biggin Hill or Farnborough. They are set up for that market. Can you imagine having your private jet from Gatwick but then having to queue up with all the easyJet passengers to get through security or baggage reclaim?

Landing fees at the big commercial airports are also crazily more expensive.

I thought maybe there was a separate VIP terminal at Gatwick for private jets away from the main North/South buildings on basis that there is at Manchester, which is a similar sized airport.
