Indian billionaire waiting to pounce allegedly

If only Joey.

Don't hold your breath peeps

We have a multi billionaire now Joey.

Yes but the guy that loaned him the money to become a billionaire is persona no gratis.

Brexit benefit.

The restriction of trade thing might not apply outside the EU now.

Not really. The restriction of trade stuff (or anti slavery laws as some refer to them) are part and parcel of FIFA & UEFA rules and a condition of participation. There's been a continual push over the last couple of decades to apply it to African, South American and other associations where players at times were just viewed as commodities.

We don’t get luck!

Im around long enough to remember when we were linked to a takeover by the Mittal family who were involved in steel. I think it was just after Cornel Gaddafi and his son were going to take us over.

To lol

More or less what I have been hoping for, for some time.

As @Neiler suggests, we (the club) are not alone. We have never been alone.

Surely in the footballing world they’re is more buyers!

777 is literally the devil they will ruin this club

I’m guessing the asking price has been a major issue. You’d imagine some decent potential owners would come in if the price was right. Established PL club with a good history and a new stadium on the way. Lots to like about that for a buyer.

Let's hope they come in before we have to sell Poppadominic Calvert Lewin.

Still a chance other bidders are awaiting the FFP verdict, on the assumption that it will arrive before the 777 approval decision giving them time for a late gazump if the verdict comes back favourable.

At the same time, while they are not the ideal owners, at least 777 have committed to a bid. There may well be others watching and waiting but anyone can watch and wait.

Do you not think they are just commodities in most EPL clubs?

All yours for only 1.2billion.

Nothing to like for a buyer.

Newcastle was sold for 300m, Liverpool was sold for 300m.

Its not just the asking price, we have massive, massive debts and a half built stadium.

But its all pretty moot, we have new owners and they are really, really skint.

Allegedly twice the money of our past current owners

The most agonizing thing about the this shady and what seems to be a calimitous takeover is the sluggish pace that it's moving at, basically like watching the titanic slowly slam into the iceberg
