The likely targets

Porstmouth: To me its us, portsmouth or the rs. Portsmouth, if its them, puts them in a difficult situation via due diligence, but I don't know enough about due diligence to comment further.

The RS: A restructure of finances which could see either Statler or Waldorf (of muppets fame) depart. Either would become minor partners in the rs.

Us: Blue Bill giving up his trainset, but being involved in some part, thus to 60% rather than 100%.

If it was any of the other prem clubs (apart from spurs) the term "leading" would be a hyperbole too far in my book.

Apparantly the RS think its us.

How much of the club to Gillet and Hicks own like? And with one of them selling their stake in a big sports team thats valued at £332.9m, how's the arab getting hold of 60% of the club.

So someone coming in and buying 60% of the RS when they're not selling any percentage, and 60% is very high, I cant see happening.

And it would be leaked big time IMO.

I think its all bullshit really. I think a story's been drummed up because the guy was "interested" in a club and hasnt bought anything.

A few are saying we've sold 61% of the club.

kenada_blue · June 21, 2009

Hearing talksport sources are saying we've sold 61% of the club.

I really don't know, but talkshite is saying its us. I do know that the rs money is simply money to pay back on a loan. Its not new money, so someone could simply ease their finances.

I'd love it to be us, perhaps I simply cant believe that it is us, and I am trying to find other logical buyers.

Whoever it is, for me only 3 clubs as mentioned above are in the frame.
