cbr600rr Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 the MAIN QUESTION..who is buying? & what is the plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Xela Posted April 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2014 Looks like it may happen Lerner wouldn't just sell to anyone, he'd sell to someone who would invest in us. Despite the criticism he has had, I think he's only had the club's best interest at heart. It was just a job too big for him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted April 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2014 Is no one else worried more than excited? Yes - but if he stays whats going to happen ? - There is a danger in doing nothing. We could get someone that puts the club's existence at stake. As bad as Lerner has been recently, he's respected the clubs tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) I'm anxious as to who would be taking the reigns, but as Smetrov says there's a great danger in doing nothing. I'm also not in the business of slagging Randy off completely. Yes has has been extremely naive and very frustrating, but we had three good years under him.

andyh Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Is no one else worried more than excited? Why?, because there may be a possibility that we may be sold to someone who gives a shit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismail-villa Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 If we did get taken over by rich owners, would people prefer if we did a City and splash the cash and got instant success? Or if we invested sensibly and got gradual success over a number of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) As close to a confirmation as we'll get. Edited April 20, 2014 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if we invested sensibly and got gradual success over a number of years? I don't think the second option is actually possible in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick of not winning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if we invested sensibly and got gradual success over a number of years? A mixture of both somewhat. I wouldn't want us to go out and buy an entire new squad with a new manager, that would be a recipe for disaster. I'd like us to continue focusing on youth, signing quality talent but also top prospects like we began doing with Okore and Benteke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heart and soul was ripped out of football years ago, so i'd go to any lengths to be successful now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Guzan, Vlaar, Okore, Bertrand, Delph, Benteke, Gabby and Weimann, sell the rest and build from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMFy Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Strange headline that ITV have gone with for the story. I wouldn't worry too much about text flowing from a company that broadcasts the intellectual delight that is ITV2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The most exciting thing about all this... will we get a new crest design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Slightly odd that there's no real ideas floating around about who the new buyers are.. Not all takeovers work out well. I know Randy has stopped spending, but I am anxious we'll end up with another Venky's. (at least ours are clearly aware there is such a thing as relegation though..)
