Takeover News/Rumours

I'm interested to see if there are others involved as well.

The fact he/the family is wealthy is a good start. But personally I envisaged it being an older person successfully in running businesses etc. At 22 that can't be said of him. Many a good businessman have been shocking at running a football club mind.

Just seems to be a young lad who loves football so buys a club, which is mental really.

I hope therefore there is a stabilising element to this, as in another investor who is more of the mould you'd expect.

Anyway, I'm more interested in the plans and who they employ than the money so time will tell.

The worry is that the stabilising influence are the people who have been here for the last 2.5 years and still own 40% if reports are to be believed.

You can be young and still be a good businessman.
 
I’m hoping Donald and Methven remain quiet, stay away from the club and if they do have to speak, tell the truth and treat the fans with respect.
I e seen over the road that there is “ more to come” and that this young man is the money for us to progress, suggesting there is someone coming to oversee the football side.
Im gonna chill out and wait and see what happens. My only concern is that this is not yet a done deal.

Could it still be FPP? That loan needs paying back or they have to still be involved
 
Can we line up the posters who thought it was a lie and said that ITK's were talking shite ? ;-)
 
On a typical P/E ratio for the sector, the Louis Dreyfus Company is worth around $36bn, and is 90% family owned. While not as rich as some of the principals in FPP, they're wealthier than Short and Ashley put together.

did this not happen
