    Not Duffen and Bartlett again ? :emoticon-0119-puke: :bandit: <yikes>

    I wonder IF Sheikh Mansour is getting tired of the noisy neighbours and wants a new toy ? <whistle>


    But great news if true. :1980_boogie_down:

    Would this then pave the way for a buy out of the KC Stadium from the council?

    Wonder who the mystery investors are!

    This has been doing the rounds on Facebook for a few days, I've been ignoring it as up to now, there's absolutely nothing to back it up.

    Would love it to be true, but probably more made up rubbish, so won't get my hopes up.

    Burnsy said he spotted 2 new geezers in the directors box for the Cardiff City match. Maybe it was them........

    I don't think I would want my club to become another Chelsea or Man City to be honest I like the fact that we just struggle on and have gppd seasons and bad ones its more fun that way

    Not for me thanks !! , I might be in the minority here but i'd rather not risk the investor being a brainless megalomaniac resulting in us all (fans included )thinking we somehow deserve a champions league spot !

    I could easily see the likelihood that rich Arabs, looking for a new toy to play with, would see us as a 'cheap' option to gain access to the EPL. Having said that, until anything comes out officially I will treat any of these rumours with a pinch of salt. There would probably only be a few Middle Eastern possibilities anyway given the fractious political element that exists between the various countries, Egypt included.

    As long as the Allams keep the controlling interest of 51% or more then i dont mind. All new money helps.

    100% agree. I would hate us becoming a play thing / ego project for someone who has never even been to Hull. I imagine Blackburn fans wished for incredibly rich overseas owners...

    Double the size of the KC, sign up Messi and Rooney then a champions league semi final against Barca at 150 quid a ticket. Oh nooooo I would start supporting Barnsley if that happened and cry me eyes out at the loss of my football club

    If it's Qataris, it might be those who own both PSG and Malaga. They might want an English club as well...

    One can hope, can't they?
