    I know this could be added to the off the field operations thread but would be nice to keep all this fun speculation apart.

    Saying on RTG we might have an American investor on the horizon.

    They may well be right and KLD would retain control …

    … I’ve obviously just made that up <whistle>

    This would be my preference. They can sign the cheques and KLd can have the stress of running things :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Someone made some good points about our business being very US like already with slick marketing and commercially. Really good points

    I think the next few weeks are going to be amazing for the club. We are back in the big time, we've got a couple of smash hit series on Netflix under our belt to catapult the club onto the international stage, we've got an owner whose family (let's be honest) will know every investor worth knowing across the globe. If a few zillionaires fancy hoying a few quid into the pot then lets ****ing go baby.

    We could flip the "Till the End" into "Just the Start". The magic carpet is cleared for take off.....

    Did he keep his season ticket going? He'll have to get to 70% of the games next year or it will get cancelled <laugh>

    Wasn’t there LeBron James rumours a while back? Would definitely get us a lot of brands and sponsor opportunities

    RTG have had us down for 3 or 4 takeovers a year since KLD took over I think.

    That being said, further investment sounds likely this summer.

    I'm not too interested in speculating though, what will be, will be. As long as KLD is still the man in charge, I'm good.

    I reckon KLD is here long term, we've got under his skin.

    I would have thought this would be the perfect time to attract new investment. If that's what the owners want to do.
