Takeover Rumour

[Des Little]

If can play up front he might get a game

[Phil from the upper holte]

Rumor has it the this Qatari billionaire is going to be at the Blackburn game, to see the club he didn't fancy and the one he's next looking at buying.

This could be bad, once he's seen us he'll never buy

[olaftab]

I have invested my lifetime into this club from boy to young man to middle age and hopefully old age. I do not want some rich sultan swing us as his egotistical weapon however I would welcome a level of investment that makes us competitive. That is all winning trophies comes after that.

[Pete Green]

Just my gut-feel, but the next big takeover in this country will be at Everton.

can't see it myself. Need a new stadium which will likely cost a fortune and too much competition in that region.

Hopefully not, we'll be passed out by another rival if that happens.

[markus209]

Surely (hopefully!) if there's another takeover we'll be the obvious club. No Manchester club will be bought, Everton need to compete with Liverpool. To a rich investor, Aston Villa, the biggest club in Birmingham, must be an attractive prospect

[Dante Lavelli]

If we're bought out by a huge oligarch or oil barron then I think that I'll walk away from football.
If it's built on vulgar foundations based on one person's ego then I'm not interested.  I'd prefer to grow organically - like arsenal or spurs - rather then effectively end up supporting who'll merely throw money at it.

If some rich guy came in and bought Sneidjer, Dani Alves and brought Milner back you wouldn't show up in Saturday..? Yeah right. It wouldn't effect our proud youth system. Set the bar high and they should thrive. A billionaire is a billionaire as far as I'm concerned.

Problem is we already have a billionaire.   Having the money and having the balls for owning a Premiership club are very different.

LOL! He's already spunked 100 million $$$ on the club, what's that if it's not balls? Stupidity? He's fed up of pouring money into a black hole, and fair enough.

What did he expect? This is a football club we don't do vacuum forming, make widgets or anything else that is a good way to make money.

My sources tell me a recently benighted elderly gentleman is going to buy us for £100million.
£30million deposit and he borrows the other £70million at low interest rates, making the repayments out of the salary he pays himself from the club.

..........Then put very little into the club, name the stadium after himself and watch us go down the pan

Say what you like about Ellis he would not have appointed Mcleish and if he had he would have sacked him by now, he wasn't afraid to pull the trigger
