Takeover Rumours

[The Legendary Tongue]

People don’t want problems- just invest and build- Donald is a fixer and meth a PA master- they got things lean and got the feel good factor back- in yrs to come we’ll realise how good they were

To be fair we already know how well they’ve turned the finances around

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

He’s worth 37billion...I think he could handle it. The other thing is, do people trust Stewart Donald to run a club with a major backer? Besides cutting back the wages, what appointments or transfers has he completed that says he’s the man to take this club to the next level??

Apparently, Ellis Short wishes he'd known them 10 years ago.

Is this true or just for the crack.

It's what I've been told.

Would not be surprised to see if it was the bloke from Dell that the American's who are the investor's are involved in E- sports.

Also if American would expect them to also to plough money into the ladies team as well.

Well the post I quoted said that Short would know this Dell fellow...maybe they just wanted to do Stewart a solid.

Sartori does, well he mixes in the same social scene as him anyway.

Even if it happens I'd expect they'd follow a sustainable approach rather than throwing money Man C style.

They'd invest enough to make sure we get to where the big money is.... the Premier League.

So they must be a genuinely loaded group then. Without naming names have you heard of them and are they mega rich.
I’m pissed hence all the questions.

so prove that was the first time it was ever mentioned

Eh, you said I was wrong so surely its up to you to prove it

I've not been told any names. Only that there's what looks like someone credible and serious in talks.

In other words, not much more than SD has already more or less confirmed.

It's all about value for money...... and the potential that comes with your value for money purchase.

Maybe it's me but I don't see how you can really make money in football now. When average players are going for 15-20m

Ok mate cheers.
Hopefully with it sort of being out in the open it’s closer than we’re hearing.

You sell a club for more than you buy it for, while also recouping any loans you're owed by the club.

From SD's perspective agree but a new buyer would spend shed loads getting us back in the Premier, only to spend shed loads keeping us there.

The current value of Man City probably exceeds what they paid plus the amount of extra share capital they've ploughed in. Especially as they now seem profitable without further owner investment.

Makes naming rights of the stadium easier... Top teams always struggled at the Dell.

posters on here were suicidal when the mags were rumoured to have been taken over by mansours ''brother''

The sensible ones just laughed at those dafties suckered in by Big Mike (again!) thinking Jose was gonna come in with unlimited funds to rule the footballing world
