But surely the people investing will be a lot tighter with how things are run. As its their money they are putting in. i can see a "Director of operations" being appointed sometime very soon Still better than what we've got. I don't think we need to be as depressed as some are with this take over/investment

Blimey. I can't believe this. Who has a pantry, these days? I thought that, but I actually have a larder with a granite shelf to keep stuff cold, that's where I keep my beer!

I think that is now the issue. Assuming we lose the court case, and with ÂŁ10m+ debts, where is our stadium? Or even, where is our better team? This has to be just an investment, and I would bet the incorrect shareholding figures disclosed the other day were the situation after this all happened. This will mean NH and co will remain, but if they do, I hope they let the Jordanians run it. We've all surely had enough of being run like a banana republic. If so, what will we get for 38% of our club? I can't believe it will be a new stadium or team because to do all that surely they would want to take us over. Be careful what we wish for. As I understand it even now, the original consortium have not gone away. They were going to publically declare they would build the UWE and invest a lot of money in the playing side. So sadly, but hopefully, this may not be over yet. But if they don't come out now it will be all over. Someone really needs to poke the other lot. This is obviously the best deal for those owed money? Not the club? From what I have been told, this lot are willing to build the UWE to the designed spec. The other lot weren't. I posted earlier but I think it was lost that the current board will stay on as advisors.

I think those ITK need now to tell us anything they know about other bids and consortia. There's no need to reveal sources. On face value the Jordanian proposal is good, but perhaps more for the BoD than the club. We need an overhaul of marketing, PR...in fact everything. If this offer just gets us over financial difficulties and enables the directors to wipe their collective brows in relief then other, deeper, issues remain to be resolved. So what were the other expressions of interest? Tell us now or it will all be too late!

Can we go back to NH's missing 2.9m shares.
Do I assume that we now know where they will end up?

People will obviously mock the idea of the current board staying on as advisors - but in reality Nick's construction experience and initimate knowledge of the stadium design together with the board's knowledge of the local football and social environment will be required by any new foreign ownership anyway.

yes but is it actually real that they want to invest in us!? Could be a load of hot air... I'm very excited and very nervous that they club are gonna come out and say ''they're just one of many we've spoken to and a deal is no closer with them than any of the others''

I think if we now get our debts paid, UWE built, and the club own the stadium - we've done extremely well. Anything else is a bonus. Exactly, I hate to assume the best as it usually leads to disappointment but why would a family of multi millionaires have any interest in a league 2 side in a s**ty patched up stadium? Surely the UWE Stadium is the priority as this immediately turns us into an attractive acquisition. Right now that is all I am hoping for. We have a good team and manager and positive atmosphere around the team so move this setup into the UWE and I have every confidence we can only get better, with millions put in to the team or not.

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 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. I think its sigmificant that he has put names into print

Look at the businesses they have been involved with, of course they'll be well versed in PR/marketing - or at least will have people who are. I am of course waiting for an official announcement but this is the media interest I was after.

I think for them this will be a buyout investment with our current board acting as advisors to a New Chairperson

There is a thing called confidentiality which unfortunately a few individuals do not understand.

Barclays bank look good on paper but they still pulled in their loan when the going got too tough for them? Also this is the bank not the family which own it, which one actually intends investing in Rovers? As far as posters moaning NH etc will stay on, would be happy if we were told we are going to be run 100% by the Al Qadi family???

Yes they did correct it after they realised they have made a massive balls up.
My own personal opinion - the original figure of 1.5m shares was the figure after any investment/takeover, the corrected figure of 4m+ shares was the correct figure as at 30/06/2015.
So, do I assume that the missing 2.9m shares will be owned by the Jordanian connection BUT under the control of NH if he remains Chairman?
I'm just asking.

People just assume its bad because they are foreign. Lets be honest i can't think of anything as bad for the club as what we have now. If BRFC are not yet in their hearts we all have a duty to put it their !!! I think people fear it's not necessarily good coz this was the deal NH chose that would keep him in control. So if you can't think of anything as bad as what we have now, what we will have, is largely the same people in charge.
