Try and put your point over, in a way that I might be persuaded, go on. Why don't you **** off to the rovers forum rather then be all high and mighty about their take over as if it suddenly justifies them, nothing has change they still haven't got a new ground or spent a penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite! Really do not see this is going to make them the new Man City or Chelsea - let's be honest, if you are that rich, why start with Bristol Rovers? It would I assume secure their short term future. If I was them, I would take that as a start and see what happens from there. Seems some of them are frankly setting ludicrous expectations after a few hours. In terms of being a soulless, plastic football club they'll be everything like Man City and Chelsea..

CotswoldRed Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 If the £70m is true then that ain't a lot and they will have to see a return on that, otherwise they'll be worth £30m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Well what I say is good luck to the Rovers. If this gives them their new stadium and guarantees their future then good for them. I am city through and through and have been for 60+ years but I always wanted to see a local derby with them in the Prem before I expire. If this gives it a remote chance of happening then bring it on. It can only be good for local rivalry and bragging rights. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, If £70m is true its very unlikely they will invest any of their own hard earned cash. They will take out loans which will shaft the club in the long run if it doesn't work out. The glaziers are essentially doing the same thing at man united. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I understand why they are celebrating, it certainly looks better for them now than with Higgs at the helm. But as for jealous; why would we be? Even the highest (realistic...) estimates of this new owner's wealth doesn't change the fact we also have a very wealthy man in charge, who has help fund our new stadium, which in turn will lead to us being able to punch a little harder. Add to that it is pretty clear SL is both a fan and in it for the long haul; as nice as it may be to suddenly be significantly better off, I don't think a single one of their fans could say this new owner of theirs is of the same ilk and keep a straight face. It may very well help them back up the leagues; as I said before, this will maybe boost them in the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
