Arab takeover interest reported on tribalfootball.com

[Norfolk Royal]

One would assume there will be some sort of official statement from the club shortly now that the cat is out the bag.

[Sun Tzu]

I'd have thought the reason we sold the players we did was because they wanted to leave and we'd agreed they could if we didn't get promoted !

Would a prospective buyer be impressed to find that some of the key assets had been disposed of ?

I'm not at all keen on the idea of the club having foreign owners but as with players I'd rather give them a chance to show what they are about before dismissing them.

Interesting times, SJM would be massively missed if he did sell.

You could call it reverse asset stripping.

[Focher]

i have been so disillusioned with RFC over the last 18 months im actually averagely excited by this, eventhough deep down i know this would be disaster for the club long term.

[The whole year inn]

nightmare scenario for any self respecting FOOTBALL CLUB.

yep

rather see us relegated to the conference than owned by Arabs

[brendywendy]

not really very big on the foreign sugar daddy thing-id actually prefer JM to stay, and run the club properly



but i guess not all foreign business men will be bad, so maybe we'll get one of the good ones, its not wholly likely
but probably just as likely as with rich english people

[Yellowcoat]

If this goes through the moaners will have driven out both SC & SJM. Given how so many of these foreign takeovers go wrong I hope for their sake there will still be a club to moan about in a few years time.

[SteveRoyal]

Not holding my breath, but if it happens, then it's exciting times for the club!

It might be, it might not.

[Gordons Cumming]

Seriously not interested in my club being taken over by ANY foreigners.

[Ryn]

I agree with the Airplane man, I am actually averagely excited, which is more than can be said for the performances on the pitch this season.

[coyrls]

Well I think I can agree with "exciting" but you can't always equate "exciting" with "good" or "positive".

[ZacNaloen]

I hope they have a plan for a sustainable business model.


Manageable debt will be just fine if the investors can afford, we did it until we were in the premiership last time we can do it again and stay there this time.

Who knows, I'm hardly jumping up and down with joy at the prospect of this.

But in reality, how many rich (enough) english people are there with an interest in Reading football club? Just one, and we already have him.

[Row Z Royal]

Seeing as new consortia never keep hold of the existing team manager for long, Royalee's going to be very upset by this.

But just imagine the size of Jay's War Chest!

What about Kate Winslet?

[ZacNaloen]

She's only got £12m according to google.

[Norfolk Royal]

She's only got £12m according to google.

Oh, we'd sink like the Titanic with her in charge.

[brendywendy]

i think she could usher in a period of eternal sunshine for RFC

She's a lovely woman, no doubt about that.

[Focher]

Do you reckon they will start selling RFC burka's in the club shop? id buy one.
