Before I say this I like Lamps but wonder how much of that decision with these rumours was about raising the profile of the club before selling?

You joke but that’s the kind of takeover that would be a bigger disaster than SISU. The guy is a fruit loop. He’d 100% throw a wobbler at the first sign of grumbling and fuck us off to playing in America just out of spite

I am fully at the point where i've accepted money in football is literally everything and i have no standards for the owner other than to be totally loaded and want to pump it into the club. I used to have standards, but the horse has long since bolted when it comes to English football.

Fuck it. Might as well have a crazy adventure signing a load of mercenary arseholes who are actually good at football instead of ones that aren’t quite good enough for their ego.

A bigger disaster than sisu? Having the richest bloke on the planet owning us haha, probably the strangest post on this entire forum and there’s some good contenders

Having someone with that sort of wealth owning us would change our club forever

Everyone who signed for Man City at first was a total mercenary. Robinho thought he was going to Man Utd ffs
But now players want to join as they see City as a top club. Fake it until you make it i suppose.

If we’re going to be a vanity project for an arrogant arsehole who knows nothing about the sport may as well have an ultra rich one.

It’s like Twitter or The Colly or the Campbell or the Ricoh. We’d all still call it Cov City anyway probably.

No really when you consider we were the first club to almost do this becoming Coventry Talbot and the fact our colours were once white and blue

Not that they could do it with the laws how they are around badges and the like now.

For clarity I would say no but that’s because I’m a traditionalist.

Sadly they’re all teleoperated so we’d probably have Josh Eccles in a VR rig in the changing room.

Just to clarify the god awful Patrick Bamford loan rumour (and Blackburn aswell apparently) he’s currently out with a hamstring injury and is on forty k a week.

Those two facts alone rules him out -plus the fact his name is Patrick Bamford and he’s top of the ‘most chances missed in the last five years playing in a football team’.

Lets take the Red Bull example for arguments sake, there would need to be consultation between the ownership group or individual and the supporters of the club.

In 2022 the FA changed the rules after the Club Heritage review so that things like main colour of kits, badges and club names cannot be done without proper consultation.

In theory it probably could be done, but any group or individual would need to satisfy the FA that those consultations took place.

No thanks.

Football is more than winning trophies. I'd rather us have a proper identity.

Give it a few years and Birmingham and Wrexham fans will be desperate to return to their old, proper club. You already see fans of both clubs getting twitchy about things.

The problem isn’t his wealth it’s the obvious issue with his ego. He appears to be a very tetchy individual that doesn’t take kindly to criticism or things not going his way.

given the volatility of our fanbase and football in general - anytime something goes wrong, we’d be the fanbase to tip him over the edge. There are many ways he can fuck us over

I'm not agaisnt rich individuals with sketchy past taking us over. I’m concerned whether the person can be trusted…. They guy would be a high profile version of the guy who owns Sheff Wed
