Folski Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 The Cleveland Browns addressed rumors of being sold by issuing this statement from owner Randy Lerner: "In connection with current rumors and press inquiries, I can report that I’ve been approached by Mr. Jimmy Haslam, who is interested in making an investment in the Cleveland Browns. We are currently in negotiations and both sides have agreed to keep that dialogue and its details private. Given that any transaction would require League approval, care has been taken so that this process will not be disruptive to the organization, in particular the football team, as it prepares for the upcoming season. We will share further details or make an announcement if it becomes necessary.” Clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ipswich got £8.1 million of Sunderland last year for Conor Wickham! Wonder how much they can get off us, if, we are indeed interested. bit different, Wickham had been touted as a real hot prospect for a few years not sure Cresswell had similar enough hype It was £8mil with add ons rising to £12mil.

Ulver Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 To those saying Cresswell would be a gamble at 5-6m, what would Carroll be at 18-20m ? Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I know it's very early days but if Lerner is spending more I really really don't want us to blow £20m on Carroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just imagine, Dunne and Collins out with Ramis and Vlaar in. as much as those two cloggers need to be filed under R for "arrivederci"... i couldn't get too excited if this happened as reports on Vlaar aren't too great and i have never seen Ramis play (as i'm guessing is the case for most VTers)... but we surely cannot be in a worse position than having dumb and dumber at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I know it's very early days but if Lerner is spending more I really really don't want us to blow £20m on Carroll. This. Think we should put in a cheeky bid for Adam Johnson or Sturridge, if the money were available of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 He isn't selling the Browns, at least not all of it. He's bringing in a new investor, I doubt it would affect us in any way. The Browns are his father's legacy, I doubt he'll ever sell them completely unless he has no choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irreverentad Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 He isn't selling the Browns, at least not all of it. He's bringing in a new investor, I doubt it would affect us in any way. The Browns are his father's legacy, I doubt he'll ever sell them completely unless he has no choice. NFL franchises don't really require investors. They all make massive profits and are a license to print money. He may not be selling all of the Browns but I would bet its a controlling stake.
