But I saw someone ask if he’s fronting for someone else. He’s not, he’s buying it, he’s rich but not mega rich. Scholes would have been manager if wellens handnt done so well. He is buying 97%. It’s what we already new apart from the fact he’s buying it not someone else. Similar to what I've heard. Although a slight twist to the Scholes thing. Simon still would've had Scholes. It was AL who made sure it was Wellens who got the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing SC at his own game! No point handing over the cash earlier in the season because the transfer window is closed and he cant make the changes he wants until January. So let the money he has set aside for the club earn interest - and SC own the increased losses until the start of the new year. Meantime he can watch and learn from behind the scenes without the emotional attachment of being in charge. If this is his plan then we may well have ourselves a very smart operator.

oafc1955 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Do we think that a new owner coming in will have an immediate impact on our home attendances? Tranmere have dropped 2 divisions and are currently outside the playoff places in the National League, yet they are still averaging 5000+ which is not too many less than they were averaging in our league 3 or 4 seasons ago! It’s been a very long while since we’ve seen 7/8k crowds at BP....Do we still have the potential to attract such crowds, the new owner obviously thinks we can but I’m not so sure!

I think any realistic upturn in crowds will probably come around if the investment allows the club to slowly build the team in quality and strength, get promotion and maintain good results on the pitch. 'Bigger' teams visiting BP combined with good results should be enough, one would hope, to swell attendances. It is a big ask but fingers crossed, this potential investment is the catalyst to make it happen. On 07/12/2017 at 8:08 PM, HarryBosch said: Why? I'm just that kind of guy.

When you say "he" do you mean the current chairman and paid out of his own pocket? On another note, If it's now a takeover, land and buildings that is then I'm still pushed to see how it can be done by 1st Jan. And I'll still be out of a pocket by £10 regardless.
