On topic please lads, thanks

I want a Mexican takeover, big fan of Mexico.

Sinola cartel and el chapo seriously looked at buying chelsea once.

The thing would worry me about a Chinese, or indeed any takeover from the Far East, is they would come up with some schemes which would be total anathema to the fan base.

Like if the new owner wanted to change our shirts to yellow or green or sommat because it is his favourite colour.

Or change the name of the club in some subtle fashion.

I would deffo rather have an American taking over than the Chinese, which as has been pointed out, would come complete with some Peking government seal of approval.

I agree but these yanks could also move our whole club lock stock and that to ....essex

Yes, I remember reading about that at Christmas time.

Except they cannot. Or at least they cannot without the approval of 14 Premier League clubs.

Never going to happen mate, no need to worry about that.

.....Derek who?

"Together we can bring back.. the science, of school" Derek Zoolander when questioned about his involvement in Everton takeover.

 

[broders]

Genuine, sincere question. Is this JP McManus stuff based on anything substantive or is it total conjecture?

With the greatest of respect @The Esk , if the horrors were being moved by their owners and it went to a vote, I hope Suntan Bob's hand goes up so fast he gets a face full of fake tan (on top of the main coat obvs) as it cascades off his limb

...I might be wrong but I think the Rock of Gibralter issue was more with John Magnier than JP. McManus is very much into the jump racing game.

Both involved mate !

The fume on here is going to be at a whole new level when it turns out that all these mega wealthy rumoured potential consortium members is a load of tripe and the reality is a bloke called Derek with a newsagents in Wigan and a Haberdashery stall in a market in Macclesfield.

And he's leased the shops.

Out of interest how can you spot an American?
