[Archived] QATAR group bid for Rovers

[Mercer]

After Venky's, I think most Rovers' supporters will couome to realise just how sound the old regime was - we had it pretty good.

Any potenyial new owner can only be an improvement.

[Bucks_Blue]

Even Berlosconi would be an improvement over the current village idiots who are, seemingly deliberately, trying to ruin our club.

I truly hope that a takeover is successfull and that any new owners are football fans and preferably Rovers fans, if not it would be an improvement if they just talked to us!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

So it's minted Qatari oil barons according to Cryer.

YES PLEASE.

Maybe just maybe kean not sacked because the V's don't want to pay his comp and they say sign new contract because new guys will pop you. ...

This crossed my mind also.

[imy9]

Never going to happen.

But what if it did... Rich Qatari billionaires have already shown how a club should be run with the purchase of a Spanish club.

[philipl]

yes Andy Cryer has got it.

[Baz]

ooh I feel excited now...

[Stuart]

Dear Father Christmas, I've been a really good boy this year and...

[niggit]

Not sure i should get excited, as i don't think it will happen. But the thought of Venky's not owning the club, just can't help it.

[Hekla]

How rich are they?

Yes please... I've put it on my Xmas list from Santa

[John]

Sounds pretty firm from that report that there is interest but also been mentioned Venkys don't want to sell?

[chaddyrovers]

John, I thought it says that the new group don't even know if the current owners want to sell or not?

" Rovers are not the only Premier League club they are interested in buying and have not even been told that Venky's would consider selling the club "

Please God let it be true.

[PAFELL]

yes Andy Cryer has got it.

It is still not 100% they will go for Rovers

[47er]

But "OIL"? That's so 90's!!

[T4E]

It won't happen. We all know it won't happen. Let's not get excited.

Please please please please let this happen.

[Billy Castell]

I am really trying not to get excited by this news, or story. If they even considered Everton and Man Utd, there are probably a host of other clubs they'd buy before us. We'd only be in if Venky's would sell at the same sort of knock down price they bought us for. Long term, even the likes of Leeds of Sheffield Wednesday would be a similar deal.

Still, it gets your heart racing a bit.

P.S. Which Spanish club is Qatari owned?

[mr bishi]

Malaga

[Baz]

Maybe Venkys can take the money, and buy Burnley? They are already legends there. Everyones a winner.

[Billy Castell]

Oh yeah. They're doing OK aren't they? PSG are also owned by some Arabs from Qatar or Bahrain.

[Hekla]

Qatar oil means big money men surely? Please let this happen.

[BangkokRover]

Oh yeah. They're doing OK aren't they? PSG are also owned by some Arabs from Qatar or Bahrain.

Qatar Investment Authority became the majority shareholder of PSG after buying a controlling 70% of the shares in 2011

Interesting that Cryer has gone to press with it. Surely must have some legs or his reputation would take a hit.

Step Kamy, the floor is yours...
