Edmund Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 This must've been concluded weeks ago if true as it takes weeks/months to go through the books/finances
hackneyfox Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 That was my question to the poster. Something seems to be in the offing though. There is either an awful lot of lazy journalism with us being linked to every available player in Europe and half of those in The Championship or a fair amount of money will soon be made available.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 make you wounder why we are being linked with all thease players if we have very littel money to spend
Edmund Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 There is either an awful lot of lazy journalism with us being linked to every available player in Europe and half of those in The Championship or a fair amount of money will soon be made available. I agree and I think the latter is most probably correct.
hackneyfox Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 The guy on Bentleys got it from someone in the club, he's normally pretty good with these things.
Jordan Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 "i do know Mandaric is here, but not alot we can do there, and he has actually taken an interest in the club" The only interest Milan is taking is the interest on the loans he's made to Leicester City.

STUHILL Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 Seems to be a lot of rumours going around that TOMORROW could be the takeover day!!
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 Seems to be a lot of rumours going around that TOMORROW could be the takeover day!! Not heard that one, but why do these people always seem to be a mystery???
Matt Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 Hmmm well as most people know I want Milan Mandaric out of this club however it does worry me as to who we could end up with. But at the end of the day doesn't matter if it happens or not cos we can't do much about it, It's unlikely we as fans will know any of the truth of what Milan has or hasn't been up to over the last few months and a takeover has gotta happen sooner or later, as I just said as fans we'll always be in the dark so I suppose we may aswell take the plunge now and keep our fingers crossed that should this be the consortium to takeover 'our' club it all goes well.
eaststandtom Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 if there is money to invest in the team then great. citys academy is to be admired so maybe the consortium want to use citys blueprint to build other academies in asia.
StanSP Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 if there is money to invest in the team then great. citys academy is to be admired so maybe the consortium want to use citys blueprint to build other academies in asia. Investing in the team will mean bringing players in from all over the place, rather than let our academy players have a chance in the first team, surely?
MC Prussian Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 Investing in the team will mean bringing players in from all over the place, rather than let our academy players have a chance in the first team, surely? With all due respect to a cautious attitude knowing that English football has seen way too many negative examples of a tycoon taking control of a club, I remain open about this particular takover. Just because we have some foreign investors lined up doesn't mean they know fudge all about football and/or how to develop/involve your own youth players.
Bert Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 I'm working away and have no access to the internet, except on my phone, which isn't very useful really, so it's not that easy to post. But what I can say is that this takeover picked up speed today, and that's all I can say.

Salieri Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 I have my blinkers on, therefore all i can currently see is takeover=investment=quality new players=promotion. I refuse to take them off and consider any negative side to the takeover. At least not yet, i like to live in denial.

But what I can say is that this takeover picked up speed today, and that's all I can say. Is it a full takeover or is it some arrangement that sees MM retained in some capacity?

Just because we have some foreign investors lined up doesn't mean they know fudge all about football and/or how to develop/involve your own youth players. I remain open too. I wasn't saying that these new owners will completely disregard the fact that we have a strong academy. Although I do remain open about the takeover, because my first thoughts are that it will take the club forward, I am also cautious because of previous unsuccessful takeovers as you mentioned.

Guesswork, but I'd say Bert's probably answered that one... Don't think a group of foreigners would be too interested in just dipping into a club who are losing money.
Babylon Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 Bob Hazell on TB is now hinting at it too... all good sources pointing to it happening.
Tilley Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 Even I have heard this is happening! Something official will come out the club by the end of the week, full takeover.
Matt Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 Following on from the 1st page piss takers regarding the Pearson going to Hull thread could the 1st page piss takers of this thread be wrong too?!
