it is Latin for partnership I'm far too young to have learnt Latin. I'm not cras credemus, hodie nihil but aegroto dum anima est, spes est |

Correct Higgs does not have to say anything, in fact I am sure he doesn't want to have to say anything, but he will have to respond if and when the people behind the bid show their faces in public. Ball is in the court of the potential new owners to say something if they want to use fan power to smoke Higgs out. I'm not even sure what any of this is supposed to mean. We're talking about a rumour of a potential purchase of a football club right? Why does anyone have to be "smoked" anywhere? Why is any "ball" in any "court"? Two parties may or may not be negotiating the sale of a business. What's it got to do with anyone other than the shareholders and those with the cash? I suppose what's good for Higgs etc and what's best for BRFC aren't necessarily the same thing right now. If new investors are prepared to build the stadium and take the club forward we as fans don't really care if it means the current BOD lose a lot of their own money as part of the deal. If the BOD say no to this, I am sure they would prefer to keep it quiet. It stands to reason that they are more likely to strike a deal that is detrimental to them personally if the customers of their business are aware of the deal and are pressurising them to accept it. |

Now there seems to be a couple of people in the Know, they clearly know more than they are saying, as they MUST have some idea as to who the Consortium is.
I dont know why the Consortium dont want to make themselves known, but it troubles me. So 2 simple questions, that the ITK Fans can respond to without actually naming names;
Is this a 'Proper' & entirely new business group, or is it just the Kevin Spencer Fan Club with the Promise of a Bank Loan?
Are they offering real money to but the club, or will they just take over & build UWE if Higgs & Co walk away recovering none of their previous outlay?
2 simple questions, but important ones, & if we needed to be told the previous, surely they can tell us the answer to this?
I'm really hoping its a proper consortium with real cash, but something just doesnt feel right (yet!)
Thanks, Come on You Blues.

He's over it in terms of being involved with the club, about time others were too. Quinon proficit deficit ( that's not to say I wont keep asking Higgs to end the ban - that's the right thing to do when a fans been banned for life for no criminal act or breach of ground regulations) |

Just because there are people on here who seem to still bear a grudge, & leaking limited information makes me suspicious that either;
Its all some big scam just to further discredit the board or
Its some half cocked attempt to scrape a few people & cash together as 'How could it possibly be worse than the current lot"
If its a proper consortium, why arent we being told that? and who it is of course

If the investors aren't prepared to speak out I don't think it's much to ask those ITK if the investors have been involved with the club previously and also if it seems more than like they do have the financial backing in place to build the UWE?

James McNamara asked the question this morning & has tweeted he was told "No truth in the rumours that a takeover of the club is imminent" - Not that this answers anything!!

(hope you understand and respect) I have to be careful with what i say but as far as i am led to believe Yes the consortium have the finances and no the consortium of investors have not been involved with Rovers before - UTG |

James McNamara asked the question this morning & has tweeted he was told "No truth in the rumours that a takeover of the club is imminent" - Not that this answers anything!! Who did he ask? It may well be true that there is no "imminent" takeover. It seems to me that this is what the IKTs seem to be getting at. Viz, will the BoD (willingly) agree to the consortium taking over? No matter what terms they are offered, if they are not going to accept then nothing is imminent. |

Thanks, If it was, say for example, a Harry Rednal led consortium then perhaps they'd want to keep their identity hidden until they were sure a deal could be done? Then again a Tony Agombar led one would have different reasons for keeping their identity hidden! |

What a ridiculous thing to say. Honestly, the BP is worse than having no paper at all. Just there to be unclear about everything and muddy the waters. |

Seems it's a complete denial being made by NH then?

I think the clubs response just means that if there is an offer, then they arent going to accept it - imminently.
Not sure who he asked, but he said NH was there & he would speak to him, so could be NH.
He also said When arent they speaking to someone about investing in the club, but does anything ever come of it.
There MUST be a reason why this lot have had this leaked - pressure the board to accept a crap deal maybe?
Any other suggestions on why they would want it leaked gratefully accepted!

Pressure on the board to do a deal that's good for the club, but not so good for the directors, coz the directors are trying to recoup all the money they've lost by screwing the club into the ground chasing a fantasy appeal against Sainsbury's and/or selling out two thirds of their potential share in the UWE? |
