Hypothetically, that could be a good time for potentially the richest rugby union side in Europe to start taking an interest in football

Great, then if we ever make any money it can be diverted to Wasps to help fund them.

Help them fund the interest payments on the 35m bond fire sale.

Could work vice-versa too, don't forget, and hypothetically, with SISU out of the equation, having sold out to the aforementioned potentially richest etc etc, any extra cash could be to strengthen both teams (nice thought, but never in a month of Sundays ......)

No he lived there, well sandbanks at least, and the Bournemouth Chairman at that time Eddie Mitchell had his firm building the Russians house. Thats how he got involved.

Do we have any Russian billionaires trying to buy a house in Coventry at the moment?

All about business deals. That's how Southampton ended up with Markus Liebherr. Rumoured to be after a large contract on the South Coast, so investing in Saints was seen in a positive light and might have helped secure non-football related deals.

Allegedly.

What with it being such a great prospect you mean? No ground, no money, no assets, nothing. Only someone with sky blue blood and very deep pockets would even consider it, and then only for giggles, certainly not for profits.

Here's hoping Mark Robins is somehow linked with Floyd Mayweather. Then we're laughing.

No because the relegation to the Championship was a horrific experience likewise (although to a lesser extent) the drop to League one. I don't want to go through that again and I don't ever want to see us playing 4th division football. Yes Sisu are [UNDERSTATEMENT] hardly the best owners in the world [/UNDERSTATEMENT] and I'd love to be rid of them but there's no one waiting in the wings to take on the challenge of running our club. It's not for the reason RFC gave better the devil and all that - that's no good reason not to be shot of them. The problem is money or rather the lack of it, Sisu are keeping the club limping along and so long as they're doing that we still have a club. If they bugger off we don't have anyone else who might have a serious interest in doing so. There's Byng and Hoffman but are they serious and do they actually have the money?

Did anyone else go through the Rich List on Sunday looking for people with some midlands link and squillions in the bank who can afford to waste some of it?

Another yes, I know there is no future with SISU so why not.
