MaskedOwl Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I put Brian Talbot on Ebay once. He was actually selling for a hell of a lot of money. Had to cancel the auction in the last seconds though. Quote

ste1987 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Executive Summary and Acquisition Rationale Dornoch Capital Advisors, LLC is pleased to present this opportunity for you to purchase the Tranmere Rovers Football Club including its 16,587 all-seater grounds/stadiam (Prenton Park). Our firm, through its exclusive financial advisory relationship with the club and its involvement with management, believe that the acquisition of the club presents a unique opportunity for a wealthy sports enthusiast at this time due to the following: ü Historic brand and fan base in FA football dating back over 100 years; ü Strong capitalization of the club with zero indebtedness in a period when English Football is in the process of de-gearing/de-leveraging; ü Low cost of entry for club with significant potential for promotion to the second division or potentially the Premiership; ü Demographics and location in Merseyside with Liverpool being the European Center of Culture in 2008 and the Open Championship being played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in 2007 make this 1.3 million population region quite attractive to sports owners; ü The ability of the acquirer to institute industry best practice (U.S. style sports management and merchandising) to upgrade the fan experience in food/beverage, on-pitch performance, and match day entertainment thus driving additional revenues, earnings, promotions and cup titles; ü The potential to pay for a portion of the acquisition through subsequent divestitures of excess/ non-income producing real estate with NO financial risk to the common shareholders; ü Ability to generate pro-forma double digit returns on for the new investors; ü Purchasing a Championship League caliber club at less than League One metrics; ü FA Football represents the only worldwide sports brand which continues to grow at double-digit sponsorship and television media revenue growth; and ü A current owner who will continue to capitalize the club through his preferred equity ownership interest and if desired by the new owners, an emeritus chairmanship/directorship. ü TRFC finished only one point away from a playoff spot for promotion to the Coca Cola Championships league during their 2008/2009 campaign Quote

davemathieson Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 From their OS... "Statement Posted on: Thu 30 Jul 2009 As fully documented in the Liverpool Daily Post earlier this year, Tranmere Rovers Chairman Peter Johnson has appointed Dornoch Capital to broker a sale for his shares in the Club to a responsible US investor. However, Mr Johnson was very disappointed to discover that Dornoch Capital had chosen ebay.com as a route to find a potential buyer and would not have given permission for them to do so had he been asked. Mr Johnson has instructed Dornoch to remove the ebay listing immediately." Link Quote

singe Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 It's great the way that the seller has only a rating of 3, one was for buying golf balls, and another was over a year ago for buying labels!! Quote
rosa Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 When Peter Johnson owned Everton, liverpool fans had a banner at the derby saying 'AGENT JOHNSON: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED'. Maybe we should see if we can borrow it..... Quote
