Buy the club for a small sum, get ownership of the land. Build the new ground and then develop the land, even if it costs X to build uwe, profit for development on y gives £millions. Rovers get a new ground, which is what they want, Jordanians get a profit, which is what they want. One thing I'd be fairly sure of is that there isn't going to be a huge injection of gulf cash, and could equally see the investors walking when the above transactions are complete...

deadredfred Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 If true, and the investment comes then good luck to them. As mentioned, the football league is littered with stories of foreign takeovers gone wrong. Forest, Cardiff, Leeds, Villa. Even Liverpool and Man Utd. Fans unhappy at ticket prices, outrageous levels of debt etc etc. At best, if if they become more competitive as a result then I can only see that as good for Bristol. As for our rivalry, there may finally be some genuine competition. Doesn't bother me at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I am sure that Higgs and co have followed the route of previous Gas Chairmen and boards. Played the "big I am" for a few years made lots of promises and then got themselves rescued at the last minute. They are running down Gloucester Road now with most of the money in their pockets, hoping no one notices them behind the smokescreen they have laid behind them. The only other people to benefit from this will be the venture capitalists who they had borrowed the money from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderup Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I was listening to their new owner and was wondering if he even realises there's a bigger club in Bristol? 'The city and people of Bristol are wonderful', 'Nick, who are this Bristol CITY? You never mentioned them' as Nick roars out of the car park with his £8M cheque and a fast boarding ticket to Italy! He's making the right noises but saying nothing. 'Need a new stadium', not saying where, stating that £Millions will not be being spent and 'organic growth', sounds like he's gonna keep his £70M in his pocket to me.

Charliesboots Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Buying a club is the easy bit, spending your (or venture capitalists money I would assume in this instance) is the hard bit. It'll be ran as a going concern as the revenue they generate will not make them break even, how long will that wash with the business model they are looking to implement? So we run at a loss, yes that's a bad thing but we have a fan who understands and is committed to our future. A few years of losses, not getting things their way and it'll all come down like a house of cards. Good luck to them (as much as I absolutely detest saying it) I think that they are going to need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobArnold10 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I love how optimistic they all are about this, a few years back it would have been a bigger deal but with FFP moves like this don't carry as much weight. Granted they may now have the external funds for a new stadium and better facilities, but it's not like they can buy the league by getting better players in. Ultimately clubs have to be run well and have good management teams in to succeed. If the new owner makes a balls up of that then it makes no difference, and you end up being Darlington mk.2. Be careful what you wish for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually talking to a Celtic fan the other day and even he was saying that he can't wait until Rangers get back up to the top flight so I don't understand all the cringe worthy insults coming out. I mean honestly, saying the guy (who is obviously very wealthy) looks like he is wearing a cheap suit? Are we back in the playground!? Anyway, i'm sure now some of the 'old boys' or the 'real fans' will tear this apart but oh well! Do your worst! Good luck Rovers and hopefully the next time you play us we'll both be in the Championship or better giving you a 6-0 thrashing! Probably not, I'm sure TMOR will be along shortly... Can't stand them myself, but what will be will be (I know a song about that!) They'll get their ground, no doubt in my mind, can't see al bundy would have got involved if that was in doubt. But we'll have been in our fully refurbished ground for a couple of years or more by then, and expect us to have pulled away a bit further if anything.

One BCFC Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 In all seriousness like someone has alluded to already isn't it a bit odd that their main board members have all jumped ship at the first opportunity as well?! 'They were looking at L1 and L2 clubs to buy' OK so how many clubs have they approached? We'll see how it goes, some interesting times ahead for both clubs it seems.
