Only 41% ? Why would they be interested in that? Or 92% !!! Well yes, but at least 92% of a sh** football club is a controlling interest in a sh** football club

When Waq said recently the Jordanian people were not happy his family had bought into Rovers, the alarm bells started ringing, since then the new Stadium project has been kicked into the long grass and there is no real excuses for not submitting a planning application for the "training ground". For me they have lost interest, hence the lack of investment in both club and team.

At last Swissgas you are beginning to catch up - do you honestly believe that the family has not considered what you are today suggesting? Bankers make their money by using others investments and as long as they have a 51% min share they control their own and the other investment. Had UWE been prepared to meet our current owner's requirements then I am sure the 'investors' would have been knocking on the door. No doubt what NH had agreed would have required our own capital and not suited investors which is why when Sainsbury's left NH had to sell. Incidentally, I have no doubt why our owners felt the need to secure certain assets and I suspect you may have realized that too? (GD will be smiling now!) Wael has all along said evolution not revolution which may not be what the fans really want but it makes more sense than 'gambling' which is what we see all too often in the world of football. It only makes sense when you are really ' minted' and an ego to match. Even with outside investment I suspect progress will still evolve gradually. I'm very glad you posted that knowall because it illustrate how too many Rovers fans live in a kind of cocoon and think that we are somehow immune from the changes taking place in the real world outside. How much do you think the Chinese investors will be willing to invest for the 41% stake in Rovers which is apparently available ? Why Chinese? - what do you know that I don't?

I'm going to say US. Which country do you want in the great made up secret consortium game?

The new investors are albanian gangsters who have made a fortune in the cocaine business. Although they are illegally in this country the "loony left" have made it difficult to deport them because of their human rights. However they have the cash and will expand the their commercial operation to the benefit of the club. Even if we get relegated we will still be on a high,its win win. no it's not it's the car washers

Harry Buckle (who apparently has the initials MJ in real life) on the AF seems convinced it's a Chinese takeaway? Perhaps our friend will get his dream job as MD when he steps down shortly from his present role if there's any truth in the latest rumours?

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, however the burden of proof lies with those making the claims. So far there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that there is another consortium trying to buy us and no one I would deem fully reliable has provided any information to the contrary.

I personally feel some people are turning on our President without any real evidence of him doing anything underhanded/wrong. It seems a few people are putting two and two together and making five. As yet i see no reason to mis-trust what he says. His enthusiasm and goals remain the same imo. It's the Rovers way. We need a scapegoat.

He's going to have to jump through some hoops to net that job.
