Takeover Rumours

[Julio]

Echo and RR clearly been briefed by the club here. It must be close

Its very very close mate

 

[Kenna]

What are the chances they will be investing large sums of money though? He is rich but doesn't mean he's splurting the money on us.

Have you noticed Ross doesn’t come on the pitch to clap the crowd - the two home games anyway. I thought he was in the huff

I noticed he didn't against pompey but probably just aware of the criticism he has been getting

 

[DahnSarf]

The Times is saying it's close, maybe as far as awaiting fit and proper persons clearance. It certainly fits with me being told due diligence was going on.

Surely, whatever the status and wealth of new investors, we are still limited by the FFP rules of the EFL.
The only way we can spend more is by increasing our income.
I have read somewhere that clubs get put on the naughty step for artificially increasing their income - aren't there rules about that?
We can't just get a 'stadium sponsorship' for £200 million can we?

It sounds amazing but let's not get too carried away yet. The two Americans that took over Liverpool a few years ago were billionaires IIRC and they made an absolute disgrace of it.

imagine us being as shit as they made liverpool

 

[TeamOfTalents]

Just arrived in Manhattan for weekend break. MSD are 5 mins walk from here

 

[Banks]

f***ing hell IL never sleep tonight now

 

[wigwams]

What the Dell is going on lads ?

Fixed.

 

[mackembulldog]

I’m trying to be quite grounded here. I want this as much as the man/woman but let’s see what happens and not get carried away. Three/four billionaires aren’t billionaires by blowing a load of money on a whim. I’m just trying to stop myself getting excited about something too soon

 

[Gurneysgurn]

Fuck sake that's me up all night

 

[lozza]

I really want to have a nice long wank over this. But I can’t help but be a little pessimistic, please let it happen!!!!

I'm on my 3rd

why not? arsenal did and city

 

[Lions Play]

Sounds too good to be true. I'll believe it when it's all signed and sealed!

Same here, not getting too excited (just) yet.....

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Aye comes across that way. Here’s hoping it’s done in the next week or so

Yes, we'll barely be any better off ....

 

[Skrabble]

True Geordie crying into a kebab whilst fingering his own arsehole

You have a very vivid imagination lad, talk about painting a picture!

 

[Steesafc]

f***ing hell haway the lads

It’s what city did basically

 

[partridge amongst the pig]

TBF they made them worse from when they took over. So it's all relative.

All I'm saying is let's just see how things pan out. I'm excited as fuck but I don't want to get too carried away yet.
