Huddersfield White Sox? Maybe we'd get enough money to solve the offensive goalsman position? The yanks have seen Towns defence squad, hoping to recruit an additional offence team.

Surely the best time to sell the club frofit wise " PART OR WHOLE SHARES " would have been at the start of the season when we wern't relegation threatened
It cannot be easy for Hoyle to off load the club especially to a rich non fan who wants it for a toy , but hope this very successful businessman makes an health frofit for all the hard work he has put it over the years at the club
I am not sure of the difference in value of the club premier league or championship
I am only summising here as Dean has not got to where he is today with not having his finger on the pulse ,and we owe him a massive debt of gratitude

Read through the thread and nobody seems to have backed up or challenged the first post.. is readingterrier reliable? is there any proof? any other rumours or anyone else heard similar?
Or are we just taking this as confirmed straight away?

Or are we just taking this as confirmed straight away? That's because it's possible. Several people will know for sure. Others have heard various scenarios about what's going on outside of football. Sometimes some things take priority through necessity.

Club subject to take over from American business man who owns sports teams in the USA share bid currently being approved by large LONDON Solicitors. DH owns HTFC, there are no shares to buy. Yes there are every business has shares, and I have the info from a very good source as I spend a large part of my working days dealing with large LONDON legal practices

Given the events of the last 72h I suppose anything could happen left field as it were. But somehow I can see Reading chuckling to himself somewhere (in Berkshire) at the raft of both daft & rational comments in response.
We'll just have to wait & see I expect...

Surely it depends if they are a limited company firstly. you try to buy shares in abduls off licence.

I've seen chatter on Twitter about OPE possibly being lined up to buy the club, and have just received a tip about a possible American takeover from someone who claims to have a good source. The name I've seen mentioned is worth over $1bn, and has a track record of buying sports franchises in the States and making them successful.
I want to stress - I have no evidence, just rumour.
But, we are ripe for it, aren't we? We are an attractive proposition - we come relatively debt free, the possibility exists to buy the remainder of the JSS, we have a really good commercial proposition for relatively low investment. We know Dean would only sell to someone he believes is here for the long haul and for the right reasons, a safe pair of hands.
Thoughts?

I like the idea but there’s already two threads on this! OPE and an unknown yank investor.

Well if there are 3 genuine parties going head to head then I'd imagine Deano would sell up, or seriously consider it, especially if his health hasn't been great recently. I think it's evident to see that Dean has not been as involved this season, which I can understand.

Any takeover fills me with dread.
They could be worth whatever but it doesnt mean their intentions or plans are what's best for the long term future of Town.
We've been spoilt with Hoyle.

Fucking depressing this board is now. I'm going to try and leave it alone until Sat because it will be like groundhog day on here. The club are doing all they can in an operating environment that's alien to us and also a little alien to our principles as a well run club.If staying in the PL is the single goal of many and their solution to do that is by spending £m's more on players that's funded by selling out to a foreign owner who can invest hundreds of £m's instead of the scores of £m's DH has. Then I'm afraid a lot of those people have been sucked in by the Premier League plc and are unwittingly showing more loyalty to that than they are the club... The PL as an entity and how it operates is not in the interests of 80+ clubs in the pro leagues, we are one of those 80+. There are no more than a dozen clubs that Scudamore and his ilk would have happily cherry picked yrs ago if they could have... DH has given loads back to the fans since he's been here which he didn't have to. Even in the PL he could have made season tickets double the price, or even half their current price and it wouldn't make a jot of difference to which players we bought. I want to stay in the PL but don't want the club to sacrifice it's soul to do so & become another club that's just competing in a pissing contest with other super rich owners. I'd rather we do it with merit and respect...Good luck this week folks, it won't be pretty on here if the last few days are anything to go by... Just read this. Absolutely agree Especially the last part highlighted.
