So who are they? Red Bull? Amanda Staveley?

They'd be buying potential. Not sure what figure that is but in the business world companies are bought

for 4 or 5 times market value because they have potential to grow.

 

You buy celebrity.

After the club recently confirmed Chansiri's desire to sell us, last week he said - intriguingly - that he'd had several offers for the club.

 

Of course, this poses the obvious questions of who, were they serious and are talks currently on - going with interested parties? 

 

If Barnsley can attract a major investor, we must also be constantly under the spotlight. 

 

If so, it would certainly fit into Red Bull's strategy and the UK's a big market missing from their footy portfolio. 

 

And maybe PCP Capital Partners (AKA Donny's Amanda Staveley) see much better value in doing a Wolves or Watford than paying Newcastle's daft asking price.

 

Getting brilliant Brucey in will not only get us  eventually to promised EPL land, but will also help attract major buyers and at a higher price.

 

Let's hope those ITK on here can help us.

 

  

 

Geoff Sheard and Mammadov were the bidders.

Staveley, come on.

 

If she had the dosh, deal would have been done.  No publicity.

 

Same with Peter Kenyon.

I personally hope DC manages to get it all right and gets us to the premier league. The guy's had a tough baptism to football and been taken for a ride by some dodgy characters. He deserves to be given a chance to get it right.

You talk as if he could get the sack.

Hes the owner FFS .lol

In general , I agree with you but pre  and during Newcastle bid she was often in stands at St James.

 

And never seen at Hillsborough so , sadly, probably not her mob interested.

 

But must be tempting to do a Watford for some funds .

 

Bought for £20 million in Championship, they are now valued at £300 million. 

 

No doubt DC will update us again soon.

I wouldn't blame DC if he decided to sell. He has taken a lot of abuse from fans and culturally he's not best equipped to deal with it. He's put a lot of money into the club but a proportion of fans ignore that and just remember the ticket prices. He's brought some good players to the club but the fans remember the failures.

 

I can see it from both sides but I worry who we might get if DC did sell the club.

Ha so fans shouldn’t moan about ticket prices then ? Seriously !! , The first season with Carlos was brilliant , the best by a mile in many a long year for me , I will always be grateful to DC for his input , but please don’t knock fans who have been priced out by him now . He has put millions in but I can’t afford to go as often as I did .

[mrgund]

This is like on Football Manager when the press ask too many questions and you press any button rushing through your save and you don't really think about it until after and you have made even more questions and you sit there in your room and turn to the window and think 'why me?'.

I said I can see it from both sides. It's bad when the ticket prices are out of your price bracket. I'm not knocking fans who can't afford to go but I can also see it from DC's point of view, he's put millions in and people still moan at him.

 

Sometimes both sides have a valid arguement and there isn't a solution.

You have a point...But what has the millions he has put in mean to someone who can't afford to go?

it means nothing, so I can see their point of view

Same as you mate I would go to games with my son and pay for him as he couldn’t afford it .I bought memberships for us,  It was our time together . As I don’t see him that often so quite frankly DC and his millions have worked against me in the end .

Technically and legally , he's put in sweet FA as all his money is loaned to club (except annual sponsorship). Just like Dave Allen.

 

According to Star last month, our spectators put in most % wise of all Championship clubs.

 

It's our money Chansiri's wasted. Like Allen, he'll get all his back plus profit when he agrees a sale, no doubt with those parties he claims have made offers recently.

He’s a business man not a sugar daddy.

 

i trust all those that complain about prices will be out in force for the Brentford game. Should be a huge crowd. But of course it won’t be.
