Del 667 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Any new owner is exciting but simple arithmetic aside, how can we be certain of their intentions and their ability to transfer ideas into success?As suggested previously, likeliest scenario is the one to examine and it won't mean £10million transfer cash (unless we sell players) IMHO.Not a huge amount will change in the club initially either so we can only hope the initial investment, reduction in debt and any property ventures all come together to improve revenue streams and improve the club over coming years to the stage where we don't need to continually sell our best players simply to buy.Can Ellis deliver? Obviously not without the help of other investors - including, by the looks of it, Sir David Murray. But his say will be reduced and we get the change at the top we want.The proof will be in the pudding.Agree with most of that Frankie!In relation to the debt being wiped at least now if we do sell players, hopefully the majority of it can be put back into the "war chest" now the debt doesnt have to be serviced.

A new owner won't change that outlook substantially and I hope he doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger 270 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 10 million war-chest..were not likely to tell the world how much we have to spend, are we? really? ! of course he is to get the fans on side. indeed we already know we have 5 million to sspend right now.

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You would also have to presume the club would lose any liability for any tax investigation that is being carried out because no new owner in there right mind would accept that as there responsibility.

All the guesswork, not knowing who or what to believe! I take it we are dismissing Mr English story? Considering 1) all other rags have us as being bought? 2) It would kill his sweethearts press conference today if true? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 110,613 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hate to burst the bubble already guys but It wont be Friday. Its going to be done middle of next week. Or if i say 48 hours does that mean i got it right? Anyway more than likely to be next week. Talk of Friday is slightly premmature. The talks have went well and if all is true its going before the panel this weekend, however it will be "accepted" no matter what Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_blitze 1 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Im pretty fuckin sick of this takeover bid by ellis every week or two the rhags are writing shite and there is nothing in stone. even if the guy did publicly come out ans say all he said i`d rather he would do it instead of just talking. time to put up or shut up ellis its went on for too long now.
