Taz Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 53 minutes ago, BessexRED said: Been told this morning Wael's close to selling Rovers having met with new "investors" last night. Clearly he's looked at the club and realised there's no new stadium potential (they even tried doing The Mem up and f***** that up), no new training ground and they're out of their training ground at the end of this season, and no hope at all. Lets hope the new "investors" are as rich as the last ones He didn't meet anyone last night. He had an email from a Nigerian Prince yesterday, who has promised to buy the club from him, and all he had to do was give him his bank details so that the Prince could have a real in depth look into the accounts. He responded last night (I can see where your source got confused) with all the details, the Prince is happy, and Wally is just waiting for the money to come through before announcing the deal. If it comes off we will be in trouble 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it was a proper billionaire they would be going elsewhere. How about the chances there is a supporter akin to SL out there who is willing to invest? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes off we will be in trouble I got the same email and it looked genuine to me ... "I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, a Nigerian Prince and the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Nicolai Higgtse. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home to the Memorial Stadium. In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost £15,000,000 GBP. This is held in a trust at the Horfield National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost £3,000,000 GBP. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance. Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weal being the “Nigerian prince” and Rovers fans all being the gullible idiots who were crowing about receiving such a fortuitous email.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Breaking news All of their financial problems are over and the reason that Mr Wael has been evasive with answers and confidentiality has been revealed in the latest long term strategy. Mr Wael has been waiting anxiously for the legal paperwork of a very secret deal to go through. And today it has and here are the details. About 3 months ago whilst on the orders of his mother and brothers he was taking one of the families camels to market, where Mr Wael met a man who offered him a deal involving the exchanging of the camel for a handful of magic beans and after an agonising wait worrying that the infidel Mr Lansdown would outbid him, but the deal has gone through. Henbury gas will be supervising the planting of the beans at the Leper colony Almondsbury and Mr Wael will be ceremonially carried shoulder high from Almondsbury to Ikea Eastville, where the flat packs of the Gas latest stadium re build will be collected and delivered to the Memorial stadium, ready for a delay in erecting them because Henbury gas has been placed in charge of the instructions. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there is a chance, I'd imagine it is almost infinitely small but there is a chance. The trouble is, who would do it? SL invested in us because of his Bristol connection, he would never have looked at us if he had come from somewhere else in the country. Are there any other Bristol or Bristol associated billionaires that are looking to waste some money on buying a sports team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m genuinely expecting a press release, saying that fans allocated seats in Row M, are able to bring their own seat..! Camping chairs, patio chairs or tripod stools are all permitted, although anyone able to bring bench seating along will be rewarded with an out of date bag of crisps, as thanks for increasing the stadium capacity, if they are happy to budge up a bit, so that someone else can squeeze on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
