Sale is close - Barnsey

[Agent Black Cat]

The prospect of a local consortium with links to the club sounds appealing but the question is will they have the money to invest? The O’Brien’s and John Hay’s of the world are multi millionaires in their own right but are in Bob Murray’s league of wealth i.e £50 - £100 million. Would they really want to stick £20 million plus of their own money in? That’s what it would take to equip us for a push on a return to the prem.

A local consortium working with FPP mind is a different story completely.

Nope, they wouldn’t but it maybe a Drumaville situation.

They might have structured a deal similar to SD, they take over the FPP loan and if we get into the Championship they get a profit and sell onto FPP!

All in good time mate. It's hardly been 12 hours since the posts. It's the local links/faces that have me looking at this from a positive viewpoint. Campbell and Storey been told to do one now.

Just let us know what you can as you get it mate. You’re one of the very few on here I’ve come to trust over the years.

He's as cryptic as bob

The lad in the Northern Echo reckons it could be John Hays, In reality no one has a clue.

Its almost certainly not John Hayes given he jusy expanded his number of shops massively then saw his market closed for several months.

Sure it would have been John Hays,if this virus shit hadnt hit him.He had just saved the Thomas cook staff aswell.He came to our aid with Quinnys gang before,but he has his hands full now.

That was my immediate thought when his name was linked, timing couldn't be worse for him.

Think Prehab wouldve elaborated a bit more if they were involved

No he wouldn't he hasn't said much at all

 

[Dilligaf60]

Can someone put me out my misery, I gave up after p19 last night.
Whats the story?

There isn’t one marra. Just rumour and conjecture.

 

[Heathen Chemistry]

Okay my word against yours mate, reality is we dont know

No-one is as cryptic as bob!

Somebody on Not606 reckons O'Briens are saying they're taking over the loan from FPP. Would make sense seems as they apparently know them so may have struck a deal to pay it back over a longer term or whatever.

Worst possible scenario

 

[Binxy]

The academy has produced 4 or 5 player capable of playing in the top 2 divisions in about 2 decades. The manager deemed none were good enough for the 3rd division.
It's a good asset, but maybe a luxury we can't afford at the moment

4 or 5 in 20 year.
Yer talking shite pal.

I very much doubt Hays would want to be involved. His core business isn’t exactly in a good place just now.

Knowing us it will be underwhelming and shite. If it does happen...that tiny bit of optimism is the thing keeping us going.

The thing about O'Brien's is they are absolute died in the wool lads fans, some members of their families have been involved with supporter's groups and sponsored the club for years. I'd imagine some of them will post on here as well, if they do get involved they are the sort of people who would only pass the club onto proper football people if the time ever comes, personally I hope the club is always owned in part by someone who is a genuine fan.
