When someone who contributes regularly to this forum indicates that they have been told something, then unless it's one of the well known attention seekers on here, then I don't understand why folk would doubt their potential knowledge. Sheriff is definitely not an attention seeker and like many in the past, him broadcasting sources and such would potentially put others in an awkward position. There is much less 'knowledge' posted on here nowadays because of the constant "Prove it or it's Bullshit brigade" Evidently, by the sheer volume of people who seem to have heard rumblings, there is something going on.

So effectively we are going to be taken over by a guy who has in football terms no money, and is going to leverage the club to do it.
Forgive me if we don’t already know how this will end.

Let’s face it he has not said anything to suggest he know anything. You just can read the posts on this thread and spout a few anomalies and make out they know. The simple fact whoever take over this club will have to be in a position to pay the going rate, plus A huge wage bill, plus other fees which seems well out of the range of a few of the people mentioned the last few days!

OK mate thanks.
Just so I can get a bit of shut eye tonight, it's not shit news is it??
As I said, none of us can say what will be 'shit' or good for the club until we see how everything plays out. As I said, none of us can say what will be 'shit' or good for the club until we see how everything plays out.

Which echoes back to my point about why would a regular poster who never comes across as an attention-seeker, just regurgitate information already there? Anyhow, I have no idea what is going on but would imagine it'll all be out soon enough. With regards to who is taking us over and the multitude of different nationalities mentioned, we will have to wait and see. If Hoyle has been looking at a sale for the best part of six months, then it's perfectly conceivable that an American, Russian, Argentinian,Chinese, German and British man/consortium have all shown an interest.

Can’t see a foreign takeover happening would have happened last summer - we don’t have the crowds/revenue for foreign interest

Lots of clubs with smaller crowds have had foreign investment. But crowds are largely irrelevant anyway in financial terms for all but the big 6 or 7 with their retail income.
Being in the prem would be all that matters. Weve shown we can do that and we have an enormous financial leg-up for 3 years to do it again.

Yes smaller teams have had foreign investment but not on the level to lead a premier league return. The big foreign investment will always go to bigger gates/revenue

Being in the prem would be all that matters. Weve shown we can do that and we have an enormous financial leg-up for 3 years to do it again. And we’re cheaper than it would be to buy into Fulham, West Brom, Villa, Leeds, Swansea, Stoke, Cardiff, Southampton, etc etc etc... There’s probably a lot of value in Town at the moment, a club with around £100m of guaranteed income over the next 3 years, plus say at least another £30m on top, that becomes a massive sweetener to any kind of deal which is likely to be something that means a good deal of ego stroking and a small amount of “IF we can get promoted then I’m quids in”...we’ll probably ultimately transfer ownership for considerably less than for example Leeds did in recent times, with much smaller levels of cash coming in despite their increased fan base?

So to sum up, it could be good, could be bad, might not be true, we’ll soon find out! Translates to knowing absolutely nothing at all! You clearly know nothing or you’d expand. Ok, well once everything comes out in the wash you or anyone else is more than welcome to pull me up on my post(s) and we will see if the info I have was right or not. For the record I have already PM'd two different people on here, so if the info I have turns out to be true then I have sufficient proof that I had foreknowledge of it (or that I was totally wrong). Either way I'll share it after any propsed takeover happens. Why would anyone care at that point if you had good information though? It would be out in the open and we’d all know. Would you want praise coming your way for your contacts? For your ability to keep quiet? Seems rather narcissistic to me

This all started when I commented that there will be some disappointed/frustrated people on here, after which I was accused of knowing nothing, everything I have subsequently said has merely been a response to that accusation.

I know but I’m not telling. Someone with more money with me, browny, blueish, greenish eyes. Dark hair, sometimes light. 2 legs. Wears a tie. Thank me later.

Yes the Terry Fisher Leeds fan, even tried to get a consortium together to buy them many years ago. if your suggesting him as a contender then no thanks he is damaged goods, but won’t happen anyway imo.

Guess it might be an issue to some, but its not like they have to live where their club is, or even go to that many games. Many don't. Leicester were a middling championship club when that Thai guy bought them. Lots of championship clubs get snapped up by very wealthy foreigners, wherever they are geographically. Town, with parachute paymetns assured for 3 years, are an attractive club to buy into at that level IMO.

I'm not totally sure that DH is ready to let this go. The club is financially better off than at any time and has developed a style of play (losing ) that is light years away from the "boot it up int' air" managers of the past. I'd hope that this produces better results next season. So, bigger picture, the club is in a good, secure position and will be competitive in the Championship - something that we never were. A top 6 place would be commendable and quite unbelievable to where we were 4 years ago. Back to the point - unless DH has had a sudden epiphany and his illness has really taken its toll and made him re-evaluate, I can't see him selling out, because he loves this football club as much and probably more than many of us. It is a massive gamble and he could see an implosion of all his work if he sells to an individual or consortium of dubious intent. Therefore, it may be that he is considering two options: 1. To do something that he said he would never do - bring someone else on board (with money to invest!). Retaining overall control, he can see how they operate and instil in them the traditions and ethos of the club before handing over full control at some later date. 2. To take it a stage further he may be wanting to bring in someone who can provide a bigger investment, to really pile money into the club. Again, not sure how much control he will retain, but to convince someone to do this he's going to have to charm the pants off them, and probably agree to seceding some control in future. Selling the club lock stock and barrel now doesn't seem quite right.
