Takeover Rumours

Genuinely the most excited I’ve been about the club in a decade.

Please please please please let it happen.

If any set of supporters deserve some success it’s us FFS.
We do mate but let's not forget the fans of Bury FC who today would be happy with just 1% of our good fortune. It seems that it's going to be a very grim Friday for them. And let's no forget how close we came.

So Donald and Methven are staying as shareholders and these 4 mega-rich Americans are investing? Are they going to be involved in the day-to-day running of the club? How much will they invest?
 
Not to go too serious, but again we have to thank Ellis Short for this. In wiping the debt, he made us a serious value proposition. To get a club of our standing, largely debt free, at League One prices made us very attractive - much more so than the Mags. The current owners have done very well to wait for the best bid, but it was inevitable there'd be interest. If we'd still had millions of pounds of debt, nobody would be touching us.
 
If this was close then surely we’d be in a position to sign a couple of players before the deadline. Ross said he couldn’t do that so it doesn’t stack up for me. People are getting really carried away

we also wouldnt egt as much interest if we were heavily loss making..and had loadds of hhigh earning shit players...

ellis wiped the debt last year..no one wanted us even with the debt wiped..except SD and CM..they put the work and capital in to fix us..so its a combination of both things..
