Ultimately it’s another one of those things that we have no control over - if our new owners want to build us new stadium it’ll more than likely happen. if we do end up moving it’s up to the fans to help it develop its own character and soul.

IMHO forget names and net worths - there are only 3 things that matter in relation to our new owners: 1) they have a long term vision for the club, 2) they have a well thought out plan to achieve the vision, and 3) they have access to the funds needed to execute the plan Were so close to the end now - sit back and wait for BT to announce it.

Not quite sure I agree with you, but each to their own.

Proving that money can’t necessarily buy taste….

What the actual feck is this??

I don’t know if it’s possible but would be a great gesture from the new owners to only pay our former owner the legal minimum but make sure all local businesses get paid in full - I’m sure in the grand scheme of things we’re talking pocket change.

Fortunately, my expectations for this season were lower than a snakes’ twig & berries….

There’s nothing like experiencing it in the flesh.

Before admin I would have welcomed Ashley (and Textor for that matter) with open arms. Now, given the alleged interest from other parties who have another level of wealth I’d be disappointed if Ashley was deemed as the best of the bunch. Between Ashley and Textor I would take Ashley any day of the week. There seems to be way too many question marks over Textor.

Done - thanks for setting this up.

So as I understand it, the successful bidder will need to: pass the EFL F&P Test, and Demonstrate they can turn us into a viable / sustainable (or words to that effect) business for the next few years. Providing both of these can be fulfilled it will go to the highest bidder. In that case, point 2 could be critical in determining who we get as it seems more subjective than black & white, so could be used to ensure the dream bidders win.

I'm not too disappointed about that, TBH.

If there are 4-5 (so far) who seem like the real deal then we’re in a situation where our new owners - whoever they may be - are going to be transformative for us to a level beyond what we thought. I’ve never looked forward to a stint in L1 as much as I am right now - back2back promotions incoming.

I don’t see the harm in a bit of speculation - after what we’ve been through it’s nice to dream for a bit. We won’t have long to wait now though and there’s naff-all we can do to influence the outcome, so sit back and wait for updates from the administrators.
