Cleveland Browns are also an NFL team, but you're right they havent played in a Superbowl in recent times.

The Cleve Brownies have NEVER played in a Superbowl. Sorry B4E, but as a Steelers supporter I want to make sure that that is perfectly clear. They're our Burnley.

Fair does Doc - I suspected that was the case but couldn't be bothered to look on Wiki.

I know your rivalry is older, but don't Browns fans care more about the Bengals now?

Pittsburgh is closer, physically, than Cincinnati (130 miles v 250 miles) which is why Steelers v Browns is still the rivalry.

What are you trying to say?

[broadsword]

A little less conversation, a little more action please,

All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me

PS: How many years have the club now actively been looking for a buyer?

[Iceman]

Sorry Topman. Clearly ive lost the plot.

Since Uncle Jack died

any new developments regarding a takeover Nicko? Im still trying to figure out the trustees though, and who is actually doing a good job keeping the club in the position it is. Surely if the Trustees are not putting money in, then they are not the ones doing a fine job, but John Williams is the one. So in reality we should really be moving on from the Trustees, but how much do they actually want for the club?

Very easy to say but there is nobody out there who fits the profile we need who has the money and they don't come along very often.

Is this the same trustees who not so long ago converted some of our debt into shares ? Who also provide low interest loans ?

The truth is - they have supported Rovers since Jack passed away. I don't think we should easily dismiss the backing we have had previously - even if they currently don't give us the £3m per season they did previously. I am also sure that, for bankers, the backing of Jack's trust fund helps to make us a more attractive proposition for any short term loans - and a far better risk overall.

Whelan should sell up Wigan and come to the Rovers but how much is he worth nowadays

No thanks,I`d rather be skint than have that gob-on-a-stump here.....

A bit harsh that Bacup. Fair enough, Dave Whelan likes to have his say but he is a man who genuinely loves Rovers and Blackburn.

If any of the usual well-informed suspects have heard anything new on this topic could they PM me in a hurry?

I don't want to post anything on here just yet.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

OOOOOH! this could be interesting Nicko?

Crikey, I don't think I could be any more intrigued.

Go on Nicko, spill the Heinz.

People seem to have been remarkably restrained.......

give it some time Paul, i dont think they noticed yet

[Majiball]

People have noticed its just there not sure whats going on.

My monies on the Trustees offering a discount of £250,000 for every goal england score this summer on our £25,000,000 asking price, a cool £1,000,000 should England win!!!

[Craigman]

People will have noticed but have decided not to get any hopes up for a sale, as we are very slow negotiators and know that nothing will happen soon.
