NickG Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 CCC teams are quite cheap. Ones with good support and infrastructure such as us and Wolves don't need too much money to give a better than 50/50 chance of promotion to the premiership. Then can be sold for big profit. Torbay, although football investment is a mugs game I always thought this getting decent sized clubs to premiership and walking away is the only wany to make money in football. Although some find it hard to walk away at the right time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can your friend ask his mate about the issue of owning two clubs? The article does imply he intends owning both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 I would love this to be true. It is interesting that the TV has just been signed and it would be noticed that the deal is recession proof (tv rights wise anyway) the thought of buying inot a club that could realisitcally go up to the PL (when it was managed correctly with a sound financial base)with its infrastructure and fanbase might make us a tempting target.

saintjay77 Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 So if this turns out to be true does that mean Rupes and co will be letting go of the club for a tenner? (or at least allot less than it is currently worth) If the deal is something similar to the one that got him wolves I mean? Surly that would be the kind of fan friendly deal that Leon would be trying to make rather than something that Rupes would agree too. dont get me wrong as I would love it to be true but it just doesnt sound like anything Rupes would be interested in and sounds more like something a main shareholder on the outside (currently LC) would be shouting about to stir up some kind of rabble to beat the current chairmen.

trousers Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 Made me chuckle.... With Liverpool still ignoring his advances, the former Redrow boss is turning his attention to a new land-purchase venture. We meet a man throwing himself into his work … This might not be the best time to meet Steve Morgan. It is just a few days after the construction magnate’s beloved Liverpool FC were beaten 2-0 by serial relegation dodger Southampton, and the defeat still clearly pains him. “We made them look like Real Madrid,” he grumbles. http://www.building.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=3046617 A miracle worker....just what we need....

1976_Child Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 Just to be nit-picky but it is not illegal for one bloke to own two football clubs. It is however, and rightly so, against FA rules. So one bloke could own two football clubs but he would not be able to enter them both into the FA leagues. But there is nothing illegal about it. Nits being picked. Either way the original rumour is just pure tosh... EDIT: I guess it is therefore "il-league-al" !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC Forever Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 One of the few things to keep us going is the hope of a knight in the usual white armour galloping to our rescue. Whilst this is probably just another rumour that quickly disappears we still hope for it to be true. Vitriol is not needed now or in the future.
