A bit like Fiorentina and other Italian clubs which basically had to re-establish themselves after going bust- basically a new company in technical terms.

You should ask Moomba about that. Their fans kicked up a stink about Peter Swales and ended up with Frannie Lee.

Then we complained about Franny, and ended up with Bernstein and the great revival.

Incidentally Franny Lee is still a pretty significant shareholder in the place.

The finances and the off-field entity of Boro was completely restructured and reformed just weeks before outright closure - hence the 1986 on the crest.

Boro also had a benefactor who financed Bryan Robson's spending spree when he was managing the club. I can't remember the benefactor's name though.

Steve Gibson? Young bloke.
