Old Rumour. Robert Riley our minority shareholder, was suppose to be putting a consortium together. 6 to 9 months ago. Obviously he was killed in the stampede. Rumours flying simply because Ramsey has left (my take on that is just more cost cutting to squeze in under the FFP limbo bar
Dunno, the lack of Chairman and no D of F appointment might suggest Hoos just holding the Fort ready for a takeover, can't think why else we'd leave ourselves so rudderless and without direction.
The least believable part is that someone wants to buy us. I know football is illogical but it’s a pretty awful business to think about purchasing. Loss-making, few assets worth anything, no potential to really increase revenue any time soon.
We are a west London club with a tidy bit of real estate in a prime area, though. And we're currently on our knees so not a bad time to buy if you're a Yankie nutjob with money to burn and a huge ego. Some eejit may have looked at Brentford and thought they could do the same thing with us. Once they get Wayne Rooney in, naturally
By the time the club makes a termination payment to Ramsey, they wouldn't save much in this finacial year.
This could be only reason someone might look to buy the club. Sell the ground for redevelopment and develop a new multi-purpose stadium somewhere in the sticks with a view to generating non-football revenues.
