    I have heard from a source he is just the front man for a consortium including Musk, Gates and Bezos.

    Trouble is it’s $100m not £100m.
    How much of that is in cash, who knows.

    No one in the right mind would spend that percentage for a club against what they actually have themselves, you would maybe look lower down the leagues if you was going to just be sole person involved, what with the running costs ,ambition, and everything else that comes with it.

    Ryan Reynalds took wrexham on with his mate, the reason they took a lower league club is obvious they could not afford to take on a championship club even with their combined wealth together hence why they chose wrexham with a bit of history in hope they can make it big again, and of course some development thrown in around the area.

    So anyone who believe's Acun is doing this on his own i also have a very well respected psychologist friend to, who may be able to help you.

    Don't knock it. Some of these vloggers / youtubers / instagramas are pretty wealthy nowadays.

    Not sure we are a big risk, if we stay up we can launch a promotion challenge next season like any other Championship club without too much debt. How many owners have actually lost a fortune on City? Needlers a bit, AP made money, Lloyd maybe, Duffen and Bartlett left their debt behind, the Allams have largely had all their money back?

    You might be right

    If the reported figures are correct it's a very big chunk of personal income to risk though, and if we chug along in the second tier you could get caught up with a long term risk without that much reward too. Maybe I'm just over cautious but I wouldn't do it

    My wife was told she would have to wait 30 mins to talk to a nurse.
    My wife says "Why, I am a nurse"
    Absolutely useless!

    Is there perhaps any special reason, or just a lovely sense of euphoria ? By the way thanks for your posts re the takeover.
