OwlertonServices Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Like it or not..if you wanted to splash north of £100m to own a football club, purely based on a business expansion, QPR or SWFC Is a no brainer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 No doubt there will have been a long line of buyers telling all the fans they were interested in buying the club prior to this announcement. That's how it works eh fanboys? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumbullowl Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 A steal at 120 million pounds. The San Diego Wave of the NWSL (National Women's Soccer League) are just being sold at valuation of 120 million dollars. No way is a US women's team worth more than any Championship team!

nile Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It is sad in football terms it has become more of location than history that gains interest, that in itself tells you the modern outlook on football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel. Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 London location helps but having three shareholders who want to remain and dilute shareholding’s further despite asking for essentially the value of the club itself seems quite a stumbling block 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I suspect DC is open to offers should any serious ones materialise? He’s been quick in the past to lambast protests against him. He doesn’t appear to be so of late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 With all the sport that goes through Sheffield and the loss of rother Valley there’s surely an argument to propose a new state of the art sports and science leading stadium in the north of England I’m sure the council would back that in some capacity if it provided facilities for young, community and professionals to develop and train. I’m not saying have a running track or anything like that but maybe a leading sport science department with the latest recovery and assessment facilities. Things were majorly lacking in our stadium or training facilities. Proper made for purpose conference and events facilities the ability to attract and use the stadium on non match days / out of season time for concerts England games again etc…. were so far behind with a dated expensive stadium when you look at teams like Arsenal and Tottenham, West Ham which all had large old stadiums they moved to keep up with times and not stagnate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
