Well the ECB are in trouble if he leaves so that could effect us in the long run.  I think it's good for world cricket for this man to go as I think he was going to try and take over and commercialise it all.  It is quite sad to see West Indian cricket go down when you think of some of the greats that have been produced through it, I think we may see the bigger players going overseas as pro's to earn a living.

He's linked with $6bn of fraud.
In an article I read the people who work for him say that although he spends all this money everywhere they have no trace of an actual income that equates to this and there was a slight feeling he has been spending money he doesn't actually have.
The money that was being given to the counties won't be affected by it.

Yes, as he is alledged to have been working with Mexican drug gangs and as he will no doubt be interrogated by the FBI, the gangs in question need to ensure his silence.
