It has again been reported that billionaire
Recently, Shnaider has denied these rumours, but has now said that a Dutch consortium has made him an offer that is “tempting”. Apparently, Michiel Mol (founder of the internet firm Lost Boys and backer of Christijan Albers) has offered the Canadian 100 million Euros for the outfit, which is putting Shnaider in a dilemma. According to Shnaider, he has “…invested more than just money in the team… I have invested my dreams” and that has put him in an agonising position.

I think he should sell it back to Eddie Jordan. The team had so much passion and enthusiasm for the sport. And even though they were at the back of the field, the yellow always made a striking difference to the grid.

K: I assume you mean “Daft title because the answer is so bleeding obvious”!
I’m surprised you didn’t make fun of the cheesy photograph!
Chris: Good idea. Eddie Jordan is willing to return to the sport as he attempted to get a 12th team in back in April. I think Shnaider is going to be looking to make a profit though, which won’t go down well with Eddie. Sell it for 50 million, buy it back for 100 million - that doesn’t make good business sense.

If Shnaider owned Shell Petroleum and was German, it would have been:
“Should Shnaider Sell Shell Schnell!”
