WestYorksRoyal Imagine how shit it will feel if it doesn't happen now. The day I thought we were selling Bearwood is the low point to date, but this would top it.


If it doesn`t happen we are done.

I'd be amazed if this saga didn't have a couple more massive disappointments in store TBF.

Is this the same Zygi Wilf who was done for fraud in New Jersey in 2013? Just curious. TBF, he does seem to have got his shit into one sock since then.

Charlton fans not keen on Rifkind, but one of the backers is a Billionaire.

Red Bird back on the scene? Speculation; I have heard nothing to suggest this.

Would be very happy if its the Wilf bros

FWIW the NFL players association do a survey of their players and release a 'score card' for every team on a range of factors including ownership. The Wilfs were 2nd out of 32 teams, with the Vikings players rating them 9.7/10 (A+ grade) this year.

We participate in the growth of market-leading franchises and leagues; 'buy low, operate, sell high'


Good to see they know their lemons. I'd hate for us to be bought by a company that buys high and sells low.

Reports are of a "consortium", so they don't match the description.

Also not US based but Swiss based but the reports of an NA group could be wrong unless there are NA investors.

We know they "walked away" so wouldn't be a surprise if they have come back in if the training ground is still a part of the deal - with Rifkind involved the EFL checks should be straight forward enough.

Chiron aren't American from what little I can gather/understand about how they're structured.

Which would leave Sports.Com, the Wilfs, or Red Bird Cap coming back as American interest that we know of/have heard about.

Minnesota Vikings play in purple, we've got the purple turtle third shirt, so clearly it's the Wilfs*.

*I am not ITK but this is more logical than what a lot of accounts on twatter are coming out with right now.
