Club being sold

Post by jaffka » Sun Sep 29, 2013 2:50 pm

As alluded to elsewhere by bijou, there are rumours abound that the club is up for sale.

One rumour I have heard is that Kia are interested. How reliable it is, I don't know.

My guess is... not very reliable at all.

Why would a publicly traded car company want to buy an unfashionable football club that loses millions of pounds a year?

Just what we need at the moment !! :hang:
E.D. may not be the flavour of the month, but at least he's a fan (alledgedly), and I think he's got the best interests of the club at heart.
All we need is some charlaton multi billionaire stepping in (a la Pompey ), throwing millions away and then, when the novelty wears off, dissappearing into the sunset.

There are as many bad uns as good uns but if it were a firm rather than aome geezer from God knows where it'd be better. What are Warby's doing these days ?

I've no issue with the club being sold - the club is leaderless, sinking at an alarming rate and something needs to change fast.

And if it means that Gartside goes, then that really would be something to celebrate !

Party! I agree with you there something drastic has to be done or we are not going to end up just in league 1 or league but in the Blue square north or whatever they call it nowadays.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.
