I hope this was the best offer on the table. It was the best deal for the shareholders apparently.

'significant investment' is an interesting choice of words - as opposed to 'takeover'. Could be nothing of course but implies there's a chance NH will stay on the board. Time will tell. This article just continues the speculation for now, but looks like the idea would be current board stay on, which I have always felt was what Higgs was looking for and why he brought in Sexstone, as not a credible proposition without him Probably for a bit before dipping out completely. If they invested i imagine they are the sort of people who want their own people about and the story indicates the son would be numero uno

Heard it here first...www.bristolpost.co.uk/BRISTOL-ROVERS-Influential-Jordanian-family/story-28763788-detail/story.html BRISTOL Rovers are at an advanced stage in talks with a Jordanian family interested in making a significant investment in the club, the Bristol Post understands.
Rovers have continually made public a desire to attract new investment and recently confirmed that as many as 12 groups of potential investors had expressed interest, which failed to materialise into anything significant.
Yet, the Post has learned that Rovers have been in ongoing discussions with the Al-Qadi family, who are significant shareholders in the Arab Jordan Investment Bank (AJIB), for several months and an announcement that a deal has been signed is believed to be imminent.
The family, which is considered one of the most influential in Jordan due to their banking and tourism interests, is headed by Abdulkader Al-Qadi, who founded AJIB in 1978.
The Post understands that the investment is a "family commitment" but that one of Al-Qadi's three sons, Wael, would take a lead in managing the investment at board level.
Currently working as an assistant general manager at AJIB, Wael has a keen interest in football and has held positions at both the Jordan Football Association and the Asian Football Development Project, which was founded by FIFA presidential candidate HRH Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein.
He is a keen Chelsea supporter as a result of being schooled in London as a youngster before going on to complete his education in America at firstly, Boston University, and then, Harvard Business School.
Several members of the family are expected to be present at the club's annual Valentine's Ball tomorrow night after taking in Rovers' League Two game against Morecambe at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Still won't believe it until I see the family donning a Rovers shirt, drinking hot chocolate,eating a pasty and having a fag behind the stand at half time !!

To be honest we are going nowhere with the current set up. Whilst i might be wary of a Jordanian take over,they would be buying a sh** leagie two club so not sure what they could milk us for and it certainly cant be much worse than what we have now. Worth a bit of a try

Ah, the old Evil Post has printed a story. How much was gleaned from the threads on here (new beginning and the end game)? Seriously I hope there is some credibility in this story. Phil, they didn't will not have taken these threads. James wouldn't do that with a story this big. He's in on it.

Phil IMO, it's pretty clear from that he's known for some time and an embargo has been lifted today due to the press conference later on. He goes in to far more detail than he'd have got from these forums. Only yesterday he denied any knowledge of it, so it's clear he was under an embargo imo.

But didn't certain people laugh when it was suggested the local media would keep this stuff quiet on purpose?
