Tinmans Love Child Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 They are in a pretty good unbeaten run, sit in 13th, but only 2 points outside bottom 4, will the run continue?? Hope they are celebrating safety tonight, will be like Wycombe all over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I smiled at the end of the Sky Sports round up today. Geoff Stelling announced "Bristol Rovers are now in 13th position, but only two points out of the relegation places. Our producer hopes things will be this tight on the last day of the season." Could it be written in the stars; 13th at 3.00pm, 21st at 5.00pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Wally would announce that they never contemplated relegation as they hadn’t been in the relegation zone for aslong as the other teams, cue them looking for any reason possible to shift the blame on anyone but themselves, so start looking for any sort of irregularities they can find.

You are now in a worse position than ever before. You weren't even their first choice FFS! My opinion on it was they thought they could get UWE and that Rovers would shoot up in value, and as soon as they realised they couldn't they lost interest. But the issue, and the reason I was never too hopeful of "evolution not revolution" is because this very rarely happens. The whole billionaire invests in a small club bucket-loads of money has sold many teams the false dream of foreign owners. Has only happened to Wolves, Chelsea and Man City in this country. And even then all 3 were miles higher on the football pyramid than Rovers. The best comparison I can think of is the takeover of fifth-tier German side SSV Markranstädt, who were refounded as Redbull Leipzig with a change in colours and club name. They shot up the football pyramid and are now 3rd in the Bundesliga. But the question begs, would you want that to happen to your club? I wouldn't want Rovers to be rebranded as "Redbull Bristol." But even with that comparison there was huge potential as there were no big clubs from Leipzig and of course Redbull is miles richer than the Al Qadis could ever be. Wael's support of Prince Ali bin Hussein for FIFA president also showed to me that he wasn't going to be this owner we could only dream of, he was going to be someone who followed the rules at all cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figure that was banded around a lot during the takeover was The Arab Jordan Investment Bank, which the Al Qadi family founded had £1.7 billion in total assets.Which created a HUGE misconception. They also have liabilities of £1.5 billion. So their business has approximately £200m in net assets with £197m being attributable to the bank's shareholders. Now take into consideration that the Al Qadi family only own around a 30% share in the business. Meaning we have the Al Qadi family at around £60m net wealth. They have investments in other businesses but the bank is their main source of wealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took about a 3 days for City fans to establish and question exactly what you’ve just put there. It’s typical Gas delusion and gullibility that’s taken most of you so long to realise what was easily found through a few simple google searches..! Just to put it into context for you (gashead’s, not so much “you” inparticular).... if the Al Qadi family invested the same in redeveloping the Mem as Lansdown spent on redeveloping Ashton Gate, they’d probably now qualify for housing benefit, due to the lack of funds they’d have remaining..!
