My take is that there are always going to be bids that get announced and ultimately not flushed out until we get to the winner. Isn't this the same as what happened prior to Randy buying us? Ranson, that bloke Michael living at his mums semi detached, the barrister bloke. I would naturally hope Randy is getting several parties interested and there is enough intelligence in the room to accept the right bid for the long term future of the club.

Adams as a football front man is a joke.
Who, in their right mind, would use this massive twat and complete and utter managerial failure as any kind of device to attract....well, anybody, from any walk of life, to do anything?

F**k him.
F**k the whole idea.
It's a load of sh*t!

If they are serious, somebody somewhere thinks that we could possibly like Adams.   That is what really scares me.   Can you imagine the big cockney plank saying what a proud history we have and what a wonderful place Birmingham is?

What businessman worth his salt needs any kind of 'frontman', let alone Tony Fucking Adams.

Has this c*** got a book out soon as well?

My son is with my daughter and my son in law getting the vote out in SE London.   I texted him about the alleged Adams take over.   His reply was that the only possible good thing which could come of it would be that we would be able to get served to a beer quicker with him in charge.

It's not likely that a takeover will fit the criteria of being 'perfect', such as oil magnates with cash to burn or Red Bull's post-F1 port of call, but is it too much to wish for that it's not some tinpot consortium with more ambition than assets?

It's not so much Adams that worries me, but the prospect of some cobbled-together consortium searching down the back of the sofa to find the cash to buy us. Sure for most of us £150 mil is riches beyond our wildest dreams, but in Premier League terms you just know that we still won't have a pot to piss in compared to the oligarchs, sheiks and, dare I say it, the competent American sports team owners.
