This investment company tried to buy the club but Kenwright won the battle...does anybody know anything more about this? Can only find the BBC article below

The problem with investment companies is that they would want the club to make money.

They'd have probably took the NTL investment money, even though £30M for 9.9% shares was effectively charity.

Likewise, they'd have taken the vulgar public subsidies on offer and built the Kings Dock.

Then sold out to Quatar, Abu Dhabi, or Ambani, leaving us poor fans to regret opportunities missed to stagnate , **** off to Kirkby etc.

At least with Bill, when we enter administration in a few years time, we can say we did it our way.

Three threads on takeovers.... Hmmm, perhaps that is a stirring in the Force I can feel...no...wait, just my phone on vibrate.

Sorry it was the other threads which made google takeovers and that article came up. Was interested to see what people knew

Don't apologise. This is what the internet is for!
