kirkiebear 1,013 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 According to Di Stefano he made us sound very appealing to them. The fact we have a loyal world wide fan base, pretty much guaranteed european football every year, great stadium that holds 50,000. Only thing that goes against us is the fact we are in Scotland but I suppose to one of these mega rich guys we could be an ideal club to start work on as a long term project, especially just now as we are going to need to rebuild greatly in the summer.

gunslinger 270 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Common denominator between those clubs and us? Al have/had serious financial problems, so could be a theme as in buying stricken clubs.they have invested in them heavily as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapneillennon 6 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This story is ancient. It was released about two weeks ago and there hasn't been any comment made from QIA so it's probably a lot of shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobatai 70 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The problem places like Adu Dhabi and Qatar have is that due to the high price of oil and the general malaise in the world economy, they're up to their knees in petro-dollars and don't have that many attractive places to invest it. They've all set up sovereign wealth finds to invest the cash and have been busily buying up businesses around the globe, but football clubs make a high-profile focal point. It's hardly a new thing. Milan has been the public face of Berlusconi's Fininvest empire for years.Still, wonder if "we're up to our knees in petro-dollars" would constitute an acceptable version of TBB?

RangersMedia 35,962 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 even if they aren't putting any of it in. I'd go for a guy with a fiver who's investing it over a billionaire investing a quid.If they bought us over they would invest heavily. I do agree with your statement, in general. Doesn't apply to these guys though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 56,424 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Are Qatar owners likely to care about the history and tradition associated with this club and with holding that tradition for the next 140 years?To me that's more important than some some sugar daddy willing to pump money in left right and centre.

The Godfather 75,766 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Like champ manager!I'm with DBBTB though, more important to make sure our club sees another 140 years of tradition than a few years of fast cash.Would see a timplosion like no other though!

JRodgA2k8 542 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 To be fair, the PSG owners are pumping a lot of money into Youth Development which they hope to reap the benefits of over the next 5-6 years to allow the club to continue to compete at the top level and produce homegrown talent.One couldn't complain if they took over.
