And yet it happens every year, without fail.
I can't say I've ever heard of anyone buying a half season ticket over a rumour.
Do you think people bought them last year off the Yarmolenko rumour?
Why would you buy one over a takeover rumour? It's not like your season ticket would be for a new stadium.
Serious questions these by the way, do you know anyone who has bought one cos of something the club have made up?

Cant deny the timing off these rumours every year though
All fair points. If anything, I would be more inclined to believe that it would be linked to season ticket renewals rather than new tickets.
From memory, the season ticket renewal process usually opens around February, therefore many people will start considering their options now.
Are we getting better? Are their signs of progression and improvement? If no, people may consider not renewing which is money lost and not gained.
As @sageyefc mentions, it is almost ridiculous how such rumours appear annually at this time of year. Could be coincidence, but I'm dubious over it.
Fortunately for the board, far too many of us are now glutens for punishment and merely renew out of dedication. How we perform is only a factor...

Hi lads.
Can anyone tell me where our new overlords will be sitting so that when I buy my half season ticket I can be nice and close to them?

Yeah this is why I renew, same as my mates.
Most rumours involve players which will always come before a transfer window starts.
There's only a few months between windows which means and any time a take over rumour comes up it can be sign as trying to entice people with a renewal.
Maybe I'm a bit more gullible than others, I could be totally wrong but I really can't wait to sit in that new stadium next season at WHP.

Whatever the reason its a bit weird how takeover/stadium talk always comes before transfer windows or an AGM then swiftly disappears as soon as its over
Suppose we'll find out in a few weeks.
Or when we are doing bad something pops up. Think we are all peed with it all and always think oh nothing but rumours so pinch of salt is needed or in evertons case a truck full.

I want a competent business man. We are one of the biggest teams in britain with one of the biggest fanbases, we have so many avenues to take in so much more income than we currently do. The sponsorship deals vindicate we are relegation fodder, we could be generating extra income which would pay for an extra first team player! In the long term, if these investors are constantly making profits and big ones at that, they won't be using us to make a quick buck and be off. Depends how good they are i suppose, but you would think they would be able to make a good improvement on the business side of things, even if they are in it for a quick buck.

I love the way every inch is played out in the echo.
