On first examination of us, we are going to need a lot of money to purchase us due to the assets and debt, but it will be someone or a group with very deep pockets.

 

Unfortunately, gone are the days when local

businessmen owned clubs, and Jack Walker at Blackburn was the real first benefactor, but even he with his wealth would struggle to buy us.

 

Hence someone will come in, and with deep pockets.  We are still a rather attractive proposition as money would generally be no object to these prospective owners now. 
 

The Chicago Fire owner looks a good bet and it is very random if one of their fans is quoting us.

Theres not that much debt. King power have written off their debt and macquarie is largely on receivables.

Football debt, transfer fee owned is pretty high.

We have 5 players left that weve paid a fee of over £2m for, on them i doubt theres anything outstanding bar Skipp. It's really not that high providing we dont stay in league one for too long.

This bit from the sales prospectus made me titter 

 

The brochure speaks of "a rare opportunity to acquire a club with an excellent track record of winning promotions to higher divisions".

And also a much more recent ability to get relegated

The confirmation that the club is up for sale is fantastic news. It could be another year or so but the process is at least underway. What the right price is will be determined by the market but I don't think they can either afford to keep us or even want to keep us. Let's hope the fit & proper person's test doesn't screw us over its and we don't end up with owners who are as bad or worse.

All I would say to those celebrating the Club being put up for sale, be careful what you wish for.

What could be worse than the current situation?

Last set of accounts - £53m in outstanding transfer fees.

If we aren’t sold then I expect the owner to just cover the expenses to avoid us going into administration. no investment. More sales of academy players. We will stagnate further.

Nearly all transfers fees are paid in instalments, so it’s doesn’t surprise we have some outstanding transfer fees

Where have I defended them?

 We are about to start a new season and most on here seem reasonably positive about the moves the club are making.

 

Some of you just can’t stop whining and looking for faults whatever happens.

 

Things are shite but try but look to be improving, try and take something positive from that, you may actually enjoy this season.

Hopefully

What's changing exactly? We've got another manager in who is obsessed with possession football for Top's continued vanity project. We're loaning players from clubs 2 divisions above us who not long ago we were lightyears ahead of and the clubs finances are in the toilet

 

The only good thing that's happening is we've got rid of about 70% of the talentless leeches who have helped ruin us over the last few years meaning we're actually gonna be forced to play our youngsters who haven't had a look in

I am convinced this is a post trying to be funny and not serious...surely?

Surely on the wind up, unless we finish this season with 97 points it'll be the worst season in our history but yeah be careful.
