Turbored Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Do u think it will be like that one a few years ago , I think it was Notts county and they were gonna get Sven in etc and it turned out the new owner didn't have to ha'pennys to rub together. My own opinion is that I couldn't care less as I will never intend to go see /support them no matter what ... Always CTID..!! COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some others are wisely more cautious... Do they really call it the 'Gas house', wtf is a gas house? Only think that comes to mind is a gas chamber, surely they don't want to be linked to those? As for 'chasing you down' - that's been going on for some time now, not really working out for you, is it, baggins? I'd also pick you up on the 'achieved nothing' part, but I doubt you're intelligent enough to even start that debate 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadredfred Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 If true, and the investment comes then good luck to them. As mentioned, the football league is littered with stories of foreign takeovers gone wrong. Forest, Cardiff, Leeds, Villa. Even Liverpool and Man Utd. Fans unhappy at ticket prices, outrageous levels of debt etc etc. At best, if if they become more competitive as a result then I can only see that as good for Bristol. As for our rivalry, there may finally be some genuine competition. Doesn't bother me at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Sheff Utd (a far, far bigger club) sold a 50% stake to a Saudi prince back in 2013 with the intention of "returning to The Premiership as soon as possible". Remind me again, how's that going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Interesting times in which we live, and in some way a sad reflection of those times. Taking the fact it is 'them' out of it, another football club goes foreign. Going to have to watch what happens now really. The rivalry notwithstanding, in many ways I do hope it is really somebody who has an interest in local football, and not somebody who is just going to see it as a play thing.

Port Said Red Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I am sure that Higgs and co have followed the route of previous Gas Chairmen and boards. Played the "big I am" for a few years made lots of promises and then got themselves rescued at the last minute. They are running down Gloucester Road now with most of the money in their pockets, hoping no one notices them behind the smokescreen they have laid behind them. The only other people to benefit from this will be the venture capitalists who they had borrowed the money from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
