Paddy Power certainly know how to get people talking about them. I wonder how much they offered Ginola to do this?

He clearly doesn't meet the strict requirements to even apply let alone actually seriously run.

apparently paying him £250,000 and seeking £2m from the public for the campaign

sadly, given its a marketing wheeze first and foremost given who is behind it, it won't get off the ground

Getting ordinary punters to pay for the publicity campagain is the lowest of the low.

£165k for a website for it is a laugh, like the article says, we're in the wrong business!  I'd happily make one for just £95k.

Apparently just £5k was raised in the first week of campaigning.
