billyg Posted June 17, 2014 Report Posted June 17, 2014 ^^^ A reply which exudes all the charm and class of a Derek Adams post-match interview. Especially when you are selective about which part of the reply you respond to ? Quote
Lord Pityme Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 Can I ask, without trawling through pages of this stuff, exactly who the "new buyers" are? Of course you can ask.... When you get the answer gonnae tell us aw..? Quote
Fitzy87 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Heard today that the club are in "advanced talks" to sell the club. Could be confirmed before the end of pre season. Also spoke to James marwoods agent today. More players coming from man city and Newcastle apparently Edited July 26, 2014 by Fitzy87 Quote
TopCat Posted July 26, 2014 Report Posted July 26, 2014 Honestly, we've been in 'advanced talks' to sell for about 3 years. Know what I think? I think and hope SGG and co will be in situe in 5 years time. Quote

Have to agree not looking forward to a buy out which can only mean two things 1/ We go into debt 2/ The cost of the club has to be paid back to new owners which cuts the player budget. Can't see it happening any other way. Edited July 26, 2014 by Isle Of Bute Saint Quote

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 Buddiecat posted in the "New Buyers?" forum regarding a Man City connection. I've certainly not heard of any developments, but it certainly would be an interesting twist. What makes you so sure that there is no interest from Man City who have been buying a number of clubs globally. I still feel that JD Sports are missing an opportunity to develop their ties with our club. Just as long as they get rid of the Morton supporting LSD munching graphic designer. The only information I have heard from a very reliable source was near the end of the season which I posted - Yes there is a very interested party but that it was all talk with no money ever being shown. Things could have changed by then so If Man City want to take over the club I for one would be more comfortable with that , in fact I would be delighted. Quote
TopCat Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 Sheikh Mansour has stated he plans to build a global empire of football clubs. He has one in England, Australia and USA. He invests in facilities more than football clubs, that's why he picked Man City, because they had that stadium. We have excellent facilities, a new stadium and the third best youth academy in Scotland. The Man City coaches who came up to see our training ground when Plummer came up were glowing about it, and I assume this would have reached HQ at City. £2 million for us would be coppers to a man of his wealth. We could rebrand the stadium - which is right beside the airport - as the Etihad and we would be a relatively local and handy place for Man City to test their academy players. Oh and, if he wants to throw 10 million at the team... Saying all that, it's probably not going to happen, but it's not ridiculous. Quote

buddiecat Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 Perhaps all the Djemba Djemba bunnet wearers can look to purchase some new headwear..... At least something will be in our club colours... Shaky City Guy.gif dont want the nickname of "arabs" though Quote

Mid Calder Saint Posted August 13, 2014 Report Posted August 13, 2014 Please please can new buyers come in now with our beloved Football Club at heart so as we can compete with the likes of those big clubs viz St Johnstone Inverness and Motherwell. Quote
windae cleaner Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Please Please lower your asking price It really really needs to be sold Quote
elvis Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 And what difference is that going to make to what we saw last night . Quote
Deekthebuddie Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 This thread is pish now. Its perfectly apparent that SG and rest of the BOD Dont want to let go of the club and wont until they get more than what it is worth (in a pounds and pence sense) and unless we have a couple of Wealthy Buddies with deep pockets and a willingness to spend what is needed or a large crowd fund (eg from a supporters group) then the present holders will keep the keys. I would like to see a change of ownership if it is for the good of the club, but apart from random names and snippets that get banded about on here, nothing is happening! Quote
elvis Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 After last night there will be even less interest if there was ever any in the first place. Quote
pod Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 After last night there will be even less interest if there was ever any in the first place. FFS. get real, any prospective buyer would be buying a club, not a team. Quote
flyingscot Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Private 787 Dreamliner from Abu Dhabi apparently on the way to Glasgow Airport. This our new owners arriving? Quote
