modboy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) must be written by a leeds fan why buy leeds for £40m when you could buy both SWFC AND SUFC (for less than the same combined total of leeds) = MERGE plus still change for Coventry too Edited August 10, 2012 by modboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 6 clubs with potential LEEDS GLORIOUS history and massive fan base gives them big appeal. The 37,000-capacity Elland Road ground is a big factor as they do not need to move. Estimated cost: £40m Buyability: 5/5 DERBY COUNTY PAST glory days during Brian Clough’s era and a big stadium. Owned by Americans but new investors would boost hopes of returning to the Prem. Est cost: £35m Buyability: 4/5 CRYSTAL PALACE FREE of debt since 2010 takeover and youth set-up producing exciting young prospects. Loyal fans and the potential to expand. Est cost: £25m Buyability: 4/5 SHEFFIELD UNITED HAVE experienced the Premier League but are now in the third tier and missed out on promotion last season. Huge potential. Est cost: £15m Buyability: 4/5 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY BACK in the Championship and are dreaming of back-to-back promotions. Stadium is big enough for the Premier League — just need the players. Est cost: £20m Buyability: 4/5 COVENTRY WOULD be available cheaply but stadium needs to be bought from the council. They are currently paying rent to play there. Would be starting from scratch. Est cost: £5m Buyability: 3/5 Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4424309/Which-football-club-is-next-for-a-takeover.html#ixzz238p1fOea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KivoOwl Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 cant get the link to work for some reason, but how are we the same price as the pigs with the poo pooe that they are in? http://www.thesun.co...a-takeover.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brigadier Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 20 million? Would Milan even get his investment back with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 How in God's name are the pigs "ripe for new owners" considering the deep sh*thole they're in at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest laptaowl Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Lets be realistic EVERY club is available for takeover , just needs the price to be right . No way would Wednesday be sold for 20 million , Milan will have invested more than that figure over the short period he has been here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grlj Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 reading it again, it must have been written by a leeds fan, 40mil for them 5/5 buyability due to size of elland road. Has no one told him hillsbough is bigger? Cheaper and got better prospects as you dont have to deal with master bates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Good luck buying the pigs for £15m, with the tens of millions of debt they owe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically their takeover seems to have fallen through so someone has decided to beg through this article for someone else to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just visiting Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Strange they didn't mention Wednesday's "Glorious history" but thats probably because it's highly unlikely there's anyone still alive that remembers it. One League Cup and Play off final hardly count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Derby County worth nearly twice as much as us? Palace worth more than us? That paper is a$$ wipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
