Virgin on the ridiculous

[winchester_royal]

I've been told these rumours weekly, but I want your verdicts on it. I got another text from a pal saying that Branson is interested in buying RFC, and is likely to move soon!!! If this is true, which I'm unsure about as yet as it hasnt happened may this be the man to take us back to the Premiership and turn us into a force!

Anyone else heard these murmerrings???

Who is your friend?

Billy Bullshit.

It's bollocks. Nice thought though but discussed to fooking death.

[Trev]

I heard about this aswell.

[Seaside Royal]

Lets just hope this is just tosh!

Richard Branson is the PR behind the Virgin Brand.

From the Virgin web-site:
Virgin, a leading branded venture capital organisation, is one of the world's most recognised and respected brands. Conceived in 1970 by Sir Richard Branson, the Virgin Group has gone on to grow very successful businesses in sectors ranging from mobile telephony, to transportation, travel, financial services, leisure, music, holidays, publishing and retailing.

They do business slightly differently to the way JM does. Capital Venture equals heavy borrowing and repayments schemes, asset stripping to prop up profits and satisfy the shareholders.

JM would never sell to them anyway. BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW (i say)

The only easily liquifiable assets in a football club are the desirable players. Since JM has sold most of those, it's a fair bet we won't be bought by any asset strippers.

yeh i heard this a while back, he apparently plans to buy some of the land on the roads that i cant remember the names of but the ones opposite the entrance to the retail park that says Reading Gate.

[rg6royal]

I suppose he wouldn't be bad a chairman due to his financial status but on the other hand what is he like in and around football? Who knows!

[Platypuss]

I might as well merge all the Branson threads we've had over the years.

Why not go the whole way and delete them.

Hotel, land, training ground are all assets.

Better the devil you know he says. The devil we know that doesn't want to invest in us and for the last three years hasn't shut up about wanting to sell and fook off.

You only have about 4 posts in reality don't you? 1800 posts with this name in 3 months saying just 4 things. Even you must be bored by now.

Interesting that according to that statement Branson conceived Virgin as a vulture capital organisation right from the start! How very foresighted.

And I thoiught he made his fortune by selling 'records' (ahem) from telephone boxes in the early seventies. Now why would you need to sell 'records' from untraceable phone boxes? Unless of course you were contacting your regular customers to see if they needed more records for their collections.

[Royal Rother]

Not heard that before!

His lack of investment just screams at you every time you go to see the team doesn't it!

We'll be in a right pickle if Branston takes over.

Very good.

It was crap when Big Ern posted it last week.

And the relevance of that to what I said would be...?

Yes it does. Every single player bought on the cheap.
