[Archived] Potential Buyer To go Public ?

[Stuart]

Here's food for thought, on Scottish news they said that the guy who approached Rangers pulled out because, to quote him loosely, he "saw a better opportunity" that was apparently outwith the SPL.

Now, Rangers are as good as dead, but Rovers have at least the parachute payments and SOME value in the squad. He knows his football too from what I hear.

Rovers would most likely be up for sale for a similar amount to what Rangers were too.

Interesting...

The American? Or do the Blue Knights not care which Blues they save?

[martypellowe]

Yep, the American. Nothing specific was said but I never twigged until now, it said on the news up here that he'd pulled out as something else caught his eye. That was about a week ago...

[he6rt6gr6m]

Problem is, how?

They have no interest in what is happening here or in the British media, the only thing the care about is how they are percieved in India as successful respectable business people. We would have to target them in the Indian press and as we have seen the Indian press have their tongues so far up Venky's behinds its untrue.

Today, some have been interviewed for Indian press and papers. Previously, we've had people asked to comment for the Economic Times of India.

I'm sure we could kick up enough of a fuss to get them to sell. The British media has been very critical of them, so surely they can be brought onside to pressurize a sale?

Sorry if this has been explained before, but why aren't Wayne Wild, Ian Battersby and Ian Currie all working together on a fans takeover?

Do you want facts or opinion?

Opinion: BRSiT (Wayne Wild and Daniel) are looking at a fan buy out. The Ians are looking at an investment based purchse (with rich backers).

Different ethos?

I read that somewhere earlier, trouble is I have read some Indian articles. I read one yesterday suggesting that Britain was being racist towards Venkys and were unwilling to accept them because they were Indian.

[Rovermatt]

Whether or not this turns out to be real, you can be rest assured that if ever the winds of serious change do whip up, Kean will walk before giving the supporters the satisfaction of seeing him pushed.

[NeRvOuS Wr3Ck]

i hope they do sell but cant see it happening if it does i will eat my rovers shirt lol

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Another MB has a mention of a South African as being the interested party, Johann Rupert, any takers?

[martypellowe]

Doubt it, Kamy's already said the interested party isn't THAT well off.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Sad, but someone I knew nothing about, seems a golf lover, just need a Rover lover!

I guess. Surely the time has come for all Rovers fans that can make a difference to be pulling in the same direction to make something happen? Seems to me they'd all benefit from each others support.

Said not got 'mega bucks'.

What is definition of 'mega bucks', a billionaire+ ?

[beastlove]

Still cannot see Venkys sellings while this situation can be turned around.

[Baz]

If the new owners have little money, but have Rovers best interests at heart, that's fine by me.

I can see plenty of value for a fan / investor to quickly turn things around at Ewood and make a profit by selling the club on again to the right people in 2-3 years.

To see the most realistic alternative to venkys yet see tmrws lt - not bid but preparing one......

What a tease !

I hope it's Vince McMahon

But seriously not getting any hopes up as I only think they'd sell for silly money

[AJW]

If someone has you by the b@lls and the eyes are watering, anything can happen

Great fun reading this thread.

Nobody has guessed correctly.

[Steve Moss]

Problem is that Venkys still have to want to sell. They have just declared their "love" for Rovers and said that the club is not for sale.

Actually, these words make believe that a credible bid may be forthcoming. They say nothing for months, only to come out and say we won't sell. Perhaps their stakinge out a starting point for negotiations?

Absolutely.

And the first goal should be preventing a further relegation, which is in the cards if Kean stays on.

[Seggie]

I hope it's Vince McMahon

just for this to kean in the centre circle:
