John Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'm happy enough with our present owners and assume that they feel the same about our football club. I can fully understand that others would like to buy us as well, but we're not for sale, as I understand it. I would guess that it would take an offer that our current owner's can't refuse to make them even think of leaving so soon.That would have to be a mighty good offer given they are hardly cash strapped. What will be will be, but I would be surprised if anything comes of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In relation to its cost it’s the most productive way to go about the business of buying a club. So long as you actually get promoted lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I only realised today that Sheffield United were part owned by a Saudi price worth 18 billion. wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Silly question but if money is no and object why not just buy a PL team? Reminds me of a plonker i used to work with that spent thousands of pounds turning a shitty old saxo into a chav mobile. I never understood why he didn't just spend that money on a decent car in the first place. Edited May 26, 2019 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of surprising that someone with a shed load of cash who wants to buy a Premier League project hasn't had a go with them to be honest. They are bigger than nearly half the current clubs in the Premier league. Makes sense, just like us really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably more akin to finding a 1930's Bugatti rotting in a shed and spending £500k restoring it to pristine condition, spending a couple of years driving it around and showing it off at car shows until some lazy arse who wants it but can't be bothered with the time and effort in restoring one offers you a cool £3m for it. I am sure some multi billionaires want to just buy a Man United and go for instant success and some get a kick out of building something, restoring something. Billionaires like all people have their own motivations and attitudes I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 PSG are in a bit of a mess atm. They don't have a proper sporting director since Leonardo left and president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi pretty much handles everything himself. But he's been absent since March when they crashed out of the CLand is currently facing corruption charges for his role in trying to bribe the IAAF to get the World Athletics Championships to Qatar in 2017. He will obviously not be sentenced to anything other than at worst a fine. The club is falling apart from withing with the Brazilian group doing their thing and the other players doing their thing. There is even talk about them (Qatar) walking away from the project. Don't see it going that far mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton 2 year deal 50k a week. James Morrison 3 year deal 60k a week. Sean Morrison £33m, 5 year deal 80k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 After doing a little more digging, it would appear QSI are literally just looking for a club to circumvent FFP for PSG. lol Yeah let's just stay as we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
