Mr Popodopolous Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) It would be exciting. There would be excellent contacts to tap and we are in a good FFP position. They may even reach out to NP and co. I imagine they would want to make a splash in the transfer market.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 3 minutes ago, Gert Mare said: The key words in the statement are “Football Club”, not a mish mash of sports under an umbrella. True albeit the owner input running costs needed would be minimal for the other 2 sports clubs. As in the difference between Revenue and annual input needed to keep the lights on. That aside, I'm sure they'll find better value elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 As mentioned, Charlton would be a very good bet though like Reading, carrying a fair amount of liability? But by that token, few clubs probably are without a significant debt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 So Bergkamp states: "It is still a dream of mine to develop players, run an academy, and use all our knowledge and experience to get promoted. “Not with a foreign billionaire who puts in a lot of money just to go up quickly. If you have a group of former top footballers together then you just start lower. I am convinced that with a club in League One, with real football knowledge, you can get promoted to the Championship within five years, 10 years at most." After a failed bid to buy Wycombe Wanderers so time ago, he's back looking in the lower leagues. So in order for many to see their dream come true and be rid of the current ownership then all we need is to get relegated and then hopefully we'll be back up in 5-10 years. I think I'll stick with supporting Lansdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If that ever happened it would be extremely funny listening to Tinman talking to the new owners in English with a Dutch accent aka the Walley with the brolly and trying to impress them by regailing the time he scored at the Kop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
