rabidbee Saudi Arabia apparently has 300,000 millionaires (according to Wikipedia), so it doesn't have to be billionaire prince who's looking to invest in the English third tier, might just be some retired wealthy petro-chem factotum.


This. I don't know who the alleged prospective buyer is, only Ian knows that sort of thing, but just because they're Saudis it doesn't automatically follow that they're part of the ruling journalist murdering family

:roll:

oxf*rd off Leon you dipshit.

If there’s any truth to the Saudi rumours we all know how it’ll go. We’ll get the one who doesn’t have a pot to piss in.

More likely Dai will pull out at the last minute, like we all wish his father had.

WestYorksRoyal Changing topic, there must be a STAR meeting with Howe soon?


Yep its well overdue, several people on twitter have asked STAR


The schedule was meant to be every Thursday but with flexability if things were going on - so next scheduled one is tomorrow.

Not happening this week, so nothing meaningful to update.

a group led by former Charlton Athletic director Leo Rifkind has now walked away from takeover talks in dismay at the decision to sell Bearwood Park.

That's game over. Players can't even train now.

Worth STAR not messing about with a phoenix club - Wimbledon started forming their phoenix on the 30th of May and 2 weeks later had everything in place to compete in 02-03.

All of Reading City, Rams RFC's and Palmer Park (may be easier to organise as council owned) grounds are suitable for the first few tiers, so should probably be contacted for a potential phoenix ground share. Interestingly if we get dropped in at the 10th tier we'll be at the same level as the ambulance chasing reading city twats.

Best case now is that the branding gets sold off to some not very rich benefactor, but after the past decade I'm tired of benefactors, better to go fan-owned.

I've never actually believed that we'd fold. But if this Wycombe stuff is true, then I can't see any coming back from it. Fuck. :(

Can`t sleep, I`ve always had hope, but this could finally be it.

How the fuck can Wycombe wanderers afford a £50m training facility?

Whilst it's not great news to hear, we don't know if this group was anywhere near a deal.

Are they the front runners? Or one of the other groups.

Why does the announcement make them walk away? Is it the potential sale, or simply not trusting Dai now?

Could it just be cover as they know they won't succeed so walk away on own terms and make a song and dance about it.
