Wasn’t 51% knocking about yesterday? If Wael owns anything like 49% there’s no way he’s getting the boot. The article says that this bloke has purchased 55% of Dwane. If that's the case, Fanboy's point still stands. Wael can't be forced out and will still have a major say in the running.

I never said he could be. I just think that eventually long term the major shareholder usually gets their way. Interesting times ahead

I can still recite the whole advert, word perfectly. Oh dear....🫣 It's like recently for some reason I have the following in my head.... "The red car and the blue car had a race....." "All red wants to do is stuff his face, he ate everything he sees, from trucks to prickly trees, but good old blue he took the milky way". Misspent youth.

I think this has always been the plan for Wael, unsurprisingly given his former / family profession. I expect the reason he has invested above and beyond throughout the previous years is not just a love of the club, but to increase its value for this kind of equity raise to take place. He will benefit financially from the sale of those shares so not completely selfless and probably more than recoups his losses (total guess though). However, what is interesting is his determination to stay involved in a big way. Clearly he does want to be here and wants to play a part. Whether that’s an ego boost, or through love of the club, it’s probably a little of both. But having someone we already know and trust involved, as a bit of a link between the money men and the club, can only be a good thing imo. It will be interesting to learn more about what kind of wealth the new investors have. If I were a betting man I’d suggest they are gonna be pretty minted! And also probably means this is more of a technical financial deal that keeps the wheels of the banking world turning. If the deal is only for 55% of the club and Wael remains in place it's unlikely that it will see any real material change in the clubs financial status in the football world.

That advert wasn’t that long ago was it? I’d have guessed your youth will have been Milky Bar kid adverts and Bob Carolgees flogging Hellman’s 😁

Agree with those saying great Wael would still be the face of BRFC and have significant ownership still. Maybe the new guy(s) aren't looking to be the ones on camera and the ones getting stick about their plans to turn the Quarters into housing (joke), and know Wael has a passion and knowledge for the club. They either know a lot more about the FM than in the public realm or have no idea how difficult it is to get things done in Bristol! Interesting times. Have they add 2 more tiers to the temp south stand?

Interesting times, if it isnt alway being a Gashead.
Combined wealth, whatever that is, can't be bad to support the club.
Be nice to hear from Wael, surely they could interview him and post on the club's website. A bit about the investment and the FM etc.
Enjoying reading the Ted's schoolgirl type bitchy comments on their dedication thread. All very funny.

Agree with this in terms of Wael remaining the face, as for the FM the BL article states the new investor(s) have been involved in talks about the new stadium.

I'm not getting excited until the Evening Post tells us how much the new owner's watch is worth.

Been told they have visited the facilities I bet that was a quick tour. 😃 That explains the two suited middle Eastern Gents I saw enjoying a ride on the tea cup merry go round- they looked rather fetching with their blue and white quarters face paint

I was going to go into the office today, but I guess I can spend another day ‘working from home’ fixated to gaschat waiting for the next development to come in.

I think no one knows if this is a neutral, good or very good thing. For Wael it makes sense as the financial liability is then shared with someone else and gives more financial backing. How much money filters through to rovers will remain to be seen but we have to assume that this will put Rovers in a more stable financial position. I think Wael has been great for the club and he has learnt a lot along the way, it's a good thing he will remain in place.
