Hopefully this will be prove to be an unfounded rumour, but the phrase "Be careful what you wish for" does spring to mind!

This is almost certainly bullshit, but if I were on the board, I wouldn't rush to quosh this rumour.

The longer it drags on, the more it will look as if they are talking behind the scenes and distrust will grow. I cannot believe NH would sell out to such people and I hope he will be quick in making that clear.

With the amount of abuse Nick Higgs has received over the years, Gashead or not, if I were him I'd sell out.

When you became chairman you would have taken the responsibility of being the custodian of a community asset that was very important to a good number of people. You can't just abdicate that responsibility coz you'd run the club badly enough to get a lot of criticism for it. That would be doubly irresponsible.

So you'd pick and choose who bought your car, or your house dependant on whether they were good for everyone? BRFC is a business, make no mistake, so if someone comes along and offers to take that burden off your hands, you'd take it.

We want our rovers back lol

If it were just a business NH would never have even bought it. I'm glad he's got more integrity than you seem to have.

Higgs has said on more than one occasion that first and foremost, he is a Rovers fan. Yes it is also a business but to say he should/would sell the club to anyone is a bit silly. He wouldn't want to see the club fold by letting it fall into the wrong hands anymore than any other Rovers fan espcially after all the time, effort and commitment he and others have put in.

So you'd agree then, by your "if it were just a business NH would never have bought it", that he has the club at heart, should be thanked for the time, effort and cash he has ploughed into what, his hobby, his passion?
Questioning my integrity? How nice.

Hi
I have carefully read the comments on this forum. I also have a friend who is a Hereford United supporter who has given me a detailed account of what happened there and I would do everything in my power to ensure it never happens at BRFC. This story is obviously based on gossip or speculation, therefore I am reluctant to comment unless I hear further. What I will say is that I have contacted the Chairman in light of this story and other messages you may have seen to me on twitter to ask if there is any truth in this story or any consortium takeovers. NH has assured me that I would be the first to be informed if that were the case. I have to say no such conversation has taken place, therefore again I have to assume that this story is based on gossip and speculation.
best wishes Brian

Not sure what you mean by that. If you were just trying to defend NH, then I'd suggest saying he'd sell the club to asset strippers is not the best way to do it. I am thankful for the time and effort NH has put into the club, never said otherwise, not sure where you got another impression from. But, he has failed to deliver success. That's just a fact. If you'd really sell up (yeah, I know it's just hypothetical) to those chancers, then yes, you would have no integrity. If you really think owning a football club is just like owning any other business, then yes, you would have no integrity.

Hopefully this will put this rumour to bed for now but I am sure it won't be long until another one pops up!
