In relation to signing contracts on behalf of Blackburn, Mr. Shaw says in Paragraph 11 of his first statement (filed on behalf of Blackburn) "I am the usual signature for footballing matters like this and also signed Michael Appleton's contract". He expanded upon this in his second statement in Paragraph 3 where he said: "I did not mean that I am authorised to sign contracts on my own. I am one of the authorised or usual signatures. I now refer to the executed contracts for Steve Keen and for Mike Appleton … Both were drawn up as deeds. Mr. Keen's contract was signed by two of the then directors of the club. Mr. Appleton's was signed by myself as director and Mr. Sylvester as company secretary."

Am I right in assuming, from this, Derek Shaw cannot even spell Steve Kean's name correctly? For goodness sake.

In general, the extract as a whole makes Shaw look like an utter dunce who regularly makes irrelevant or stupid points.
