The only logical reason I could think for his return was to either push through a sale of the club or sack the manager. To be honest, I'm not sure which I would prefer...

maximus1267 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I am sure most billionaires wont be free of any dirt or skeletons, be it in their business or private lives. I want AL out because I feel he is just a wannabe football owner with nothing behind him only talk. These Boohoo owners are pretty damn rich, they have had some bad press but they have also built a very wealthy business and lifestyle. Got to be better than a nobody owning us and playing at it, badly. Would we as fans not want these to buy us if the rumour is true ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I cant confirm the offer to buy the club is from them, I have just been told that the rumours of a new buyer are credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximus1267 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Just heard another buyer/buyers mentioned. I cant say on here, but if true and it happened I am sure many fans would be happy with it and it does sound more realistic. Before anyone says its bull, its from a credible source.

I was also informed that the guy who accompanied Lemsagam to the Rochdale game was the CEO and owner of Boohoo, who is apparently a billionaire from Manchester. I can’t see Lemsagam even sniffing at £1.5M and maybe the Boohoo guy is just a lot of hot air, but I thought I’d put it out there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture of a chap next to him at Rochdale looks of Asian decent and so are the Boohoo owners someone is probably putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 50.

Their bottom line like most in fashion industry has been hit by global supply chain problems Brexit and the fact they have purchased Debenhams. Although I have heard from people that used to work there that it's kind of ruthless. I went for Job interview with one of their subsidiaries Pretty Little Things a few years ago with the FD it was the worst interview I've ever had and thinking back to it now I should have told him where to go and walked out after 5 minutes he was a James Blunt.
