The only thing he had over looked was the plane didn't have enough seating capacity for a full-match day squad, manager,kit manager, medical staff, etc etc
Pretty sure he didn't no, though he already had aeroplanes which he used for his other businesses. He may have hoped to use/claim expenses for that for football but they weren't bought with that purpose in mind.
He was a friend of my father's who was also briefly on the board and a mad keen pilot who flew everywhere whenever he could.
